Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

The .22 Remington Jet holds a unique place in the shooting world. Originally developed as a joint effort between Remington and Smith & Wesson back in 1961, this bottlenecked centerfire cartridge provides enough performance for small game and varmint shooting while remaining manageable in revolver and single-shot platforms like the Thompson Center Contender. It never caught on widely, which makes finding factory ammunition something of a treasure hunt for those who own them.
That's where PPU steps in. Prvi Partizan has kept the .22 Jet alive in their lineup because dedicated users refuse to let it disappear. This particular load uses a 45-grain soft point bullet at 1950 feet per second, delivering 519 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. The soft point design gives you controlled expansion on impact, which matters whether you're working varmints at the range or taking small game at modest distances. The brass cases are non-corrosive and boxer-primed, so they're reloadable for folks who want to stretch their supply or fine-tune performance to their specific guns.
PPU has been manufacturing ammunition since 1928 and supplies military and police forces across multiple countries. That industrial-grade discipline carries over to civilian ammunition. Their .22 Jet rounds come packaged consistently and fire reliably. The company's European reputation for solid manufacturing translates to ammo that performs as advertised, shot after shot.
With factory ammo this hard to find, many owners handload. PPU's brass is good quality for the price and reloadable multiple times. Since the .22 Jet is based on a necked-down .357 Magnum case, reloaders can form brass from the parent case if needed. The consistent chamber dimensions PPU maintains make fireforming and loading work smoothly without the headaches that plagued earlier production runs.
Factory ammunition is limited since the cartridge never became mainstream, but PPU keeps it in production because of dedicated users who own the vintage Smith & Wesson Model 53 revolvers and Thompson Center Contender rifles. Finding it requires checking specialty retailers, but PPU remains one of the few manufacturers still loading this round. Many owners also handload to stretch their supply.
The .22 Jet was originally designed for the Smith & Wesson Model 53 revolver, which is now a collector's item. The cartridge also works in Thompson Center Contender single-shot rifles and handguns, where it delivers superior velocity and performance compared to revolver use. If you own a .22 Jet firearm, verify your specific model and barrel length match this ammunition before purchasing.
Yes. The brass cases are boxer-primed and non-corrosive, making them suitable for reloading multiple times. Since the .22 Jet is a necked-down .357 Magnum case with an unusual long shoulder, handloaders should use proper full-length dies and follow careful procedures to avoid case setback issues. Many reloaders also form fresh cases from .357 Magnum brass when original .22 Jet brass becomes scarce.
PPU has manufactured ammunition since 1928 and supplies military and police forces worldwide, which speaks to their consistency and reliability. For the .22 Remington Jet specifically, PPU is often the only readily available factory option. Users report good performance, though some note PPU ammo can leave more fouling than premium domestic brands. It's solid training and hunting ammunition at a reasonable value.
