The Remington 22 Golden Bullet .22 LR Plated Hollow Point 36-grain 100-round box is a high-velocity rimfire cartridge engineered specifically for high-volume target practice, casual plinking, and small-game hunting. A primary friction point in rimfire systems is rapid lead fouling paired with inconsistent feeding geometry. Traditional unplated lead bullets deposit heavy-metal residue directly into the barrel's rifling and across the action's feed ramps, degrading long-term accuracy, increasing projectile drag, and triggering frequent failure-to-feed or failure-to-extract cycling jams. Remington eliminates this mechanical bottleneck by applying a smooth brass plating to the projectile, radically lowering bore friction and maximizing mechanical feed reliability.
The technical advantage focuses on material interaction optimization and high-output ignition consistency. By encapsulating the lead core in a thin brass plating, this cartridge maintains a highly stable friction coefficient inside the bore and keeps your rifling free of accuracy-robbing lead deposits. Supporting this clean-running profile is Remington's refined rimfire priming compound, which provides uniform ignition and steady shot-to-shot internal pressure curves. Upon striking small game, the engineered hollow-point cavity relies on high retained velocity to initiate immediate, reliable expansion, transferring kinetic energy efficiently while minimizing the risk of over-penetration.
Launching its brass-plated defensive and target payload at a crisp muzzle velocity of 1,280 FPS, this 36-grain cartridge maintains a flat rimfire trajectory that simplifies small-target holdovers out to typical range distances. The high-velocity formula generates a robust, consistent recoil impulse that ensures positive blowback action cycling in finicky semi-automatic handguns and rifles, while remaining perfectly compatible with manual bolt, pump, and lever actions. Built with high-grade brass casings and clean-burning propellants, this 100-round sleeve delivers the structural uniformity and repeatable point-of-impact needed for long, trouble-free sessions on the range or in the woods.
Key Benefits
- Friction-Reducing Brass Plating: Thin brass coating prevents lead accumulation in the rifling and slashes mechanical drag for cleaner, more accurate shooting.
- Reliable High-Velocity Cycling: Driven at a crisp 1,280 FPS to supply the necessary backpressure for positive mechanical cycling in semi-automatic blowback platforms.
- Expanding Hollow-Point Cavity: Specially shaped nose section triggers immediate expansion upon impact, maximizing kinetic energy transfer on small game.
- Enhanced Rimfire Priming Compound: Refined factory mix delivers quick, ultra-consistent ignition for minimized velocity standard deviations.
