FED PWRSHK 222REM 50GR SP 20/200

Description

Federal’s PowerShok line is built around a straightforward premise: deliver predictable terminal performance at a price point that makes high-volume varmint sessions practical. This .222 Remington load pairs that philosophy with a 50-grain jacketed soft point — a bullet construction that balances the rapid expansion needed to anchor small game cleanly with enough jacket integrity to maintain a stable wound channel at the velocities this cartridge generates. The jacket keeps the lead core together through the barrel and across distance, then peels back on impact to transfer energy quickly rather than passing through.

The .222 Remington itself is a inherently accurate, low-recoil cartridge that has been a varmint standard for decades. Its mild powder charge means brass lasts well for handloaders and the case is undemanding on chambers over long strings of fire. At 3,140 feet per second, this load moves fast enough to produce reliable expansion even at moderate ranges without generating the chamber pressures that stress light rifles. The brass casing and boxer-primed construction also make it straightforward to reload once fired.

This is a working field load rather than a benchrest or match round. It suits hunters who need ammunition that cycles reliably, shoots to a consistent point of impact box to box, and does its job on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and similar small game without the premium pricing of a match-grade offering. Twenty rounds per box keeps it practical for a day’s hunting without requiring bulk storage.
