FED GMSHK 22WMR 50GR JHP 50/3000

Description

Federal Game-Shok in .22 WMR is a straightforward small game round built around a 50-grain jacketed hollow point. The jacketed construction keeps the bullet intact during feeding and through the bore, while the hollow point cavity initiates controlled expansion on contact with tissue — a combination that matters when you want clean, humane kills on squirrels, rabbits, and similar quarry without destroying meat or pelt. It also makes the round workable for pest and varmint control at the ranges where .22 WMR is typically employed.

The .22 WMR cartridge sits in an interesting middle ground: more energy and reach than standard .22 LR, but still manageable in lightweight rifles and revolvers with minimal recoil. At 50 grains, this projectile is on the heavier end of the common .22 WMR bullet weight spectrum. That added mass tends to retain energy downrange more effectively than lighter, faster offerings, which can be an advantage when shots stretch out in open fields or pastures. The trade-off is a somewhat lower muzzle velocity compared to lighter loads in the same caliber — Federal rates this load at 1,530 feet per second — but for the intended small game applications, that velocity is more than adequate for reliable expansion.

Brass cases and rimfire priming are standard for the platform. Federal’s production consistency means you can expect uniform performance from round to round, which keeps point-of-impact predictable across a range session or a morning’s hunt. This is a box-count-of-50 load suited to anyone who shoots .22 WMR regularly and wants a purpose-built hunting option rather than a plinking or target-only round.
