Federal Gold Medal .22 LR 40gr Lead Round Nose, 50-Round Box

Federal Gold Medal .22 LR 40gr Lead Round Nose ammunition (part no. 711B) is built for shooters who compete at the highest levels of rimfire competition and need every round to perform identically. Federal Ammunition loads the Gold Medal line with precision bullets and ultra-tight manufacturing tolerances that keep velocity and accuracy consistent from the first round in the box to the last. The 40-grain lead round nose bullet is a target profile built for accuracy rather than expansion, matching the line’s competition focus. In rimfire ammunition for serious .22 LR shooters, this is the load built to shrink group sizes.
