This 5,000 round pack is a great way to stock up on some American-made plinking ammunition. Federal Champion .22 long rifle ammunition is loaded with a 40-grain lead round nose projectile loaded into rimfire primed non-corrosive brass cases. Capable of a muzzle velocity of 1240 FPS, these high velocity rounds deliver more than enough power to stop even the toughest varmints on your hunt or soda cans at the range, with the lead round nose offering decent expansion and terminal results.

Each box of Federal champion .22 LR contains 50 rounds, with 100 boxes in this 5,000-round case.

Federal Ammunition has become a world leader in quality ammunition manufacturing. Based in Minnesota for nearly 100 years, Federal continues to produce some of the most consistent and high performing ammunition in the world.

Ballistics Test Summary

Ballistic gelatin testing is one of the best methods we have available today for predicting the real-world performance of self-defense ammunition. We’ve used Clear Ballistics synthetic gelatin to test over 150 handgun loads, including Federal 40 Grain. We fired 5 rounds into the gel with a four-layer cloth barrier to determine whether heavy clothing would affect the penetration and expansion characteristics of the bullet. All rounds were fired from a S&W 43C to reflect the type of short barreled compact pistols that are most commonly carried by legally armed citizens.

Above, you can find photos of the actual bullets suspended in the test medium. Images of the recovered bullets are below on the left and high-speed footage of the first bullet fired into the gel is below on the right. All of the data we collected from our test of Federal 40 Grain is in the chart below that along with diagrams that might give you an idea of how this load compares to other .22 Long Rifle (LR) products.

If you want to see the rest of our ballistic gel test results, all of that data is available in our handy interactive charts at Lucky Gunner Labs.

The Federal Ammunition Company has been around since 1922. Today, they're owned by the ATK parent company, along with Speer and other companies that produce high quality, American made ammo. The Federal Champion line is reserved for value priced target and range ammo.

And for this review, we shot some of the champion .22 long rifle loads. This huge 500 round box is divided into 10 smaller boxes of 50 rounds each for easy storage and transportation. The 40 grain lead round nosed bullet is covered in a thin coat of wax for lubrication. Out of a rifle barrel, these high velocity rounds travel at around 1,240 feet per second. This type of .22 long rifle ammo is ideal for reliably cycling in semiautomatic actions.

We tried out this batch in six different guns, three rifles and three pistols. We had a few feeding issues here and there, but overall, it was a lot more reliable than what I've come to expect from many other lead nose. bullets. Our Glock .22 conversion kit in particular had some problems, but the manufacturer recommends that you only use plated ammo, so that's to be expected. On the other hand, the Smith & Wesson 15-22 AR style carbine flew right through the 25 round magazines of this ammo with no problems.

We used a stocked Marlin 795 with a 4 power scope to check out what this ammo could do from the bench at 50 yards. We got a decent group that measured a little over a an inch across. For a value priced bulk ammo, that's not bad at all. It seems like every .22 caliber gun has brands of ammo that it likes, and some it just doesn't cooperate with. With our six test guns, we had overall positive results. The high velocity rounds and consistent quality control of Federal Champion might make it a good choice for your favorite planking gun.
