FED CHAMP 22WMR 50GR JHP 250CT BYOB

Description

Federal’s Champion BYOB line exists for shooters who go through rimfire ammunition in volume — at the range, in the field after small game, or both. The packaging is the starting point: a rigid plastic jar with a removable lid that doubles as an easy-pour spout. The jars stack flat on a shelf and hold up to handling in a range bag in a way that cardboard boxes do not, which matters when you’re pulling 250 rounds at a time.

The load itself is a 50-grain jacketed hollow point pushed to 1,530 feet per second at the muzzle. In .22 WMR, that bullet weight sits toward the heavier end of the caliber’s practical range, trading some velocity for better downrange energy retention — the round still carries 159 foot-pounds at 100 yards. The hollow point cavity is designed to initiate expansion on impact, which makes this round a reasonable choice for small game and varmints where clean terminal performance matters, while remaining entirely suitable for target work. A ballistic coefficient of .158 means wind drift is a real factor beyond 75 yards or so; at 100 yards in a 10 mph crosswind, expect roughly 4.7 inches of lateral movement, so holdover matters in anything but calm conditions.

Federal loads these rounds on brass cases with a noncorrosive rimfire primer. The 250-count jar format brings the per-round cost down to a level where range sessions don’t require careful rationing, which is the whole point of the BYOB concept. If .22 WMR is your regular training or hunting caliber, buying in this quantity and format makes straightforward sense.
