Description
The CCI Henry Golden Boy Edition is a purpose-built rimfire load designed to cycle reliably in Henry Golden Boy lever-action rifles, though it performs equally well in any .22 LR firearm. It is aimed at Golden Boy owners who want a thematically matched load for range sessions or small-game hunting, as well as collectors who appreciate edition-specific packaging tied to a recognizable platform.
The 36-grain copper-plated hollow point bullet serves two practical functions. The copper plating keeps lead deposits out of the bore during extended shooting sessions, which matters when you are running a lever gun hard without stopping to scrub the barrel between strings. The hollow point cavity initiates expansion on soft tissue, making this a reasonable choice for squirrels or rabbits where a solid bullet might over-penetrate without transferring much energy. At a muzzle velocity of 1,260 feet per second, the load sits in a range that balances reliable hollow point expansion with manageable noise and recoil, relevant when hunting in areas where discretion matters.
Brass-cased rimfire construction means the case mouths seat consistently in the chamber, which contributes to the feeding reliability lever-action tubular magazines demand. This is not bulk plinking ammunition in a plain box — the collector’s edition branding and Henry-specific identity make it a natural companion to the rifle it was built around, whether it stays on a shelf or gets put to work.
