Description
The Remington Golden Bullet in 22 Long Rifle is built for whatever you're shooting at. Whether you're setting up cans in the backyard, breaking in a new rifle, or putting food on the table with small game, this round delivers what you need without breaking the bank.
Each box contains 100 rounds of 40-grain plated lead round nose ammunition, loaded with clean-burning powder that keeps your firearm running smoothly. The plating on these bullets makes them chamber easily, which is especially important if you're cycling through a semi-automatic or lever-action 22. You get consistent performance you can count on, shot after shot.
Golden Bullet High Velocity Performance
This is the high-velocity load, pushing 1255 feet per second with 140 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. That extra velocity extends your effective range compared to standard-velocity rounds, giving you more power when you need it for small game or longer-range plinking. The round nose design makes it versatile across different firearms, whether you're shooting a bolt-action rifle, semi-auto pistol, or revolver.
What Makes These Rounds Practical
Remington builds these with the working shooter in mind. The brass casings are reloadable if you're into handloading, and the non-corrosive primers mean you don't have to rush to clean your gun immediately after shooting. The quality control in the ammunition line has improved notably, with updated priming compounds that reduce shot-to-shot inconsistencies.
Who These Work For
You don't need to be an experienced marksman to appreciate what Golden Bullet offers. These rounds are ideal for anyone learning to shoot, practicing at the range, or getting practical work done around the property. Experienced competitors also use them for informal matches and training sessions when precision isn't as critical as volume.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Golden Bullet 22LR work in semi-automatic rifles and pistols?
Yes. The plated bullets and clean-burning powder are specifically designed for easy cycling in semi-automatic firearms. The high-velocity loading helps with reliable function in most modern 22 LR semi-autos, though individual firearm preferences vary.
Is this ammunition suitable for hunting small game?
Yes. The 40-grain round nose bullet at 1255 fps is effective for squirrel, rabbit, and similar small game at reasonable distances. The high-velocity loading gives you more power than standard velocity rounds, making it a solid choice for this purpose.
Can I reload the brass casings from Golden Bullet ammunition?
Yes. These cartridges use non-corrosive, reloadable brass cases. Just ensure you're following proper reloading procedures and using appropriate dies and components designed for 22 LR.
What's the difference between plated bullets and lead bullets in 22 LR?
Plated bullets have a thin copper coating that reduces barrel fouling and leading compared to pure lead. This coating makes them chamber more smoothly and keeps your barrel cleaner with extended shooting sessions. Both work reliably in modern firearms.
How do Golden Bullet rounds perform in bolt-action rifles?
These rounds perform well in bolt-action 22 rifles. The round nose design is compatible with most bolt-action platforms, and the consistent high-velocity loading delivers predictable performance for target work and hunting.
Are Golden Bullet rounds good for beginners or just experienced shooters?
They're excellent for both. The reliable function, easy chambering, and affordable cost make them ideal for new shooters learning the basics. Experienced shooters appreciate them for high-volume practice and recreational shooting.
