Remington 22 Golden Bullet High Velocity .22 LR 36 Grain Brass-Plated Hollow Point (MPN: 21279)
High-volume plinkers, target shooters, and small-game hunters running .22 LR rifles, carbines, or handguns demand bulk rimfire ammunition that balances flat trajectories, smooth semi-automatic cycling, and clean-running performance. Remington engineered their iconic 22 Golden Bullet "Bucket O' Bullets" 36-grain Brass-Plated Hollow Point (BPHP) loading specifically to keep high-volume shooters stocked and active on the firing line. Purpose-built to reduce barrel fouling while delivering reliable ignition, this bulk 1,400-round tub provides shooters with incredible range value and versatile field performance.
At the center of Remington’s 22 Golden Bullet formulation is a 36-grain lead bullet coated in a smooth brass plating. This specialized brass-plated jacket reduces lead contact with barrel rifling, significantly cutting bore fouling and lead buildup during long sessions at the range. Designed with a wide hollow-point nose profile, the bullet initiates rapid, uniform expansion upon impact with small game and pests while maintaining high structural velocity for flat trajectories out of both rifles and handguns.
Out on the range or in the woods, expect crisp primary ignition, positive shell extraction, and energetic slide blowback. Propelling its 36-grain brass-plated projectile at a high muzzle velocity of 1,280 FPS, this loading provides the exact gas pressure curve needed to cycle popular semi-automatic platforms like Ruger 10/22 carbines, Smith & Wesson M&P15-22s, and subcompact rimfire handguns. Packed into a durable, re-sealable plastic bucket with a heavy-duty carry handle, this 1,400-round bulk tub is the ultimate solution for range training, backyard plinking, and farm pest management.
Armorer Bench Notes & Technical Maintenance Guidance
Shipping Restrictions: Ammunition sales are strictly regulated. Check all state and local laws prior to ordering. Cannot ship to PO Boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or internationally. Must ship via ORM-D / Hazardous Ground transport.
Armorer Tip: High-velocity 36gr brass-plated rimfire ammunition generates energetic blowback force, making it ideal for breaking in new semi-automatic .22 LR rifles and pistols. To maintain 100% cycling reliability over high round counts, clean firing pin channels and magazine feed lips periodically with solvent, applying a light coat of CLP to slide rails to prevent carbon fouling buildup.
