The Remington Cyclone is a high-velocity .22 LR round designed for shooters who want more than just "range ammo." A common frustration with bulk-box rimfire is the occasional dud or a failure to cycle in semi-autos. Remington solves this by pushing the velocity to 1,280 FPS and tightening manufacturing standards, creating a round that ignites reliably and keeps your rifle running smoothly during high-volume sessions.
The secret to the Cyclone’s performance is its 36-grain projectile. By dropping the weight slightly compared to a standard 40-grain bullet, Remington significantly boosts the speed. This extra velocity keeps the bullet’s flight path flatter and carries more punch to the target. The lead hollow point is specifically shaped to expand on impact, ensuring that when you’re out in the field, you’re getting the stopping power needed for clean, effective pest control.
By driving a 36-grain hollow point at 1,280 FPS, the Cyclone offers a perfect blend of reliability and flat-shooting accuracy. It is built to cycle flawlessly in semi-automatic platforms while providing the controlled expansion required for small game hunting. Whether you are clearing out a barn or spending a long afternoon at the range, this ammo gives you a stable point of impact and a terminal performance that punches well above its price point.
Key Features
- Optimized Projectile: The 36-grain projectile uses reduced mass to increase velocity, resulting in a flatter trajectory and simplified holdovers.
- High-Velocity Performance: A 1,280 FPS muzzle velocity delivers higher energy transfer for improved terminal performance on small game.
- Lead Hollow Point: The engineered cavity initiates rapid expansion for an efficient energy dump and reduced risk of pass-through.
- Reliable Ignition: High-quality brass and consistent rimfire priming ensure uniform ignition and reliable cycling in semi-auto firearms.
