A global leader in offering quality and innovative firearms, Browning now introduces a new, full-line of superior performance ammunition for hunting, personal defense and target shooting. Browning and Winchester developed this full line of ammunition products under the Browning brand. The Browning Ammunition portfolio includes popular ammunition offerings in rifle, shotgun, handgun and rimfire, featuring advanced technologies for hunters and shooters.

BPR Performance Rimfire (Hunting) products are designed for smooth feeding, reliable extraction and consistent performance. The hollow point bullet rapidly transfers energy for consistent performance on varmints. High velocity increases downrange energy, extending effective range. This ammunition is new production and non-corrosive.

Product Overview

When your hunt or rimfire sessions demand accuracy and reliability shot after shot, Browning’s .22LR 36 grain Plated Hollow Point steps up. Engineered specifically for shooters who want a trustworthy load—whether you’re controlling varmints, filling a stew pot, or sending tin cans flying—the Browning 400-round bulk pack delivers. This round, designed in partnership with Winchester and built right here in the USA, merges legendary brand heritage with modern expectations for velocity, expansion, and smooth firearm function.

Key Features

• 400-round value pack: Forget about running short on ammo halfway through the day—this bulk set is tailored for extended outings, high-volume shooters, and anyone who wants one box that will last.
• 36-grain copper-plated hollow point: This bullet marries the low fouling properties of copper plating with a hollow point cavity engineered for rapid energy transfer and expansion. That means cleaner kills on small game and predictable fragmentation.
• Supersonic speed: Clocking in at 1280 feet per second at the muzzle, you benefit from a flatter trajectory, quick follow-up shots, and plenty of punch for taking game or nailing reactive targets.
• Dependable feeding: Designed and tested for fuss-free operation, these rounds cycle smoothly in both bolt-action classics and modern semi-autos, including favorites like the Ruger 10/22.
• Made in America: Browning’s collaboration with Winchester ensures each batch meets exacting standards for performance and safety.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Will this ammo cycle in semi-automatic rifles like the Ruger 10/22?

Absolutely. The supersonic muzzle velocity of 1280 FPS ensures these rounds feed and eject with consistency in most modern semi-automatics, including the ever-popular Ruger 10/22 and similar platforms. Whether you’re running a stock rifle or an upgraded custom build, expect smooth sessions without frustrating jams or stovepipes.

Is this good for target accuracy?

While not engineered for precision competition, this Browning .22LR bulk pack consistently delivers reliable shot-to-shot accuracy across most common rimfire firearms. Within 50 to 100 yards, you can expect solid groupings—perfect for informal target work, skills practice, or family range days.

How clean does this ammo burn?

Although it isn’t labeled as “match” or “clean-burning,” users routinely report that fouling is moderate and easier to manage compared to lesser rimfire loads. The copper-plated bullet design reduces lead buildup in your barrel, translating to less time scrubbing and more time shooting.
