FED 22LR 36GR CPHP BYOB BTL 8X 450CT

Description

Federal’s BYOB line exists for one purpose: keeping rimfire shooters on the range without worrying about burning through expensive ammunition. The 450-round bottle format is designed around the practical realities of a long range session — the plastic container stacks flat in a bag or range box, and the lid can be removed entirely or left on to use the built-in pour spout, which keeps rounds moving into a tray without fumbling with a bag.

The load itself is a 36-grain copper-plated hollow point. The copper plating reduces lead fouling in the barrel compared to bare lead, which matters when you’re running several hundred rounds in an afternoon without a thorough cleaning break. The hollow point cavity aids reliable expansion on small game, making this equally useful for hunting squirrels or rabbits as it is for punching paper. At 1,260 fps muzzle velocity, the round sits in the high-velocity category for .22 LR, generating 127 foot-pounds of muzzle energy — enough for consistent terminal performance on small game at reasonable distances without the barrel pressure concerns of hypervelocity loads.

The ballistic coefficient of .125 reflects the relatively modest aerodynamic efficiency typical of a short, light hollow point bullet, so shooters using this for anything beyond 75 yards should expect to account for wind drift — Federal’s own data shows roughly 5.7 inches of drift at 100 yards in a 10 mph crosswind. For plinking and small game at normal rimfire distances, that’s a non-issue. Cases are sold in eight bottles of 450 rounds each.
