The Winchester Wildcat .22 Long Rifle (LR) 40-grain Copper-Plated DynaPoint Lead Round Nose (LRN) 500-round brick is a high-velocity rimfire cartridge engineered specifically for smooth, semi-automatic reliability during all-day backyard plinking, tactical rimfire training, and small-game hunting. A persistent friction point with standard budget rimfire loads is excessive raw lead fouling, which quickly degrades accuracy and gums up tight actions, causing frustrating failures to feed or extract. Winchester eliminates this mechanical bottleneck by utilizing a specialized copper-plated DynaPoint projectile, which drastically reduces bore friction and suppresses carbon and lead residue accumulation across extended firing cycles.
The technical advantage centers on balancing uniform projectile surface behavior with crisp, high-velocity ignition parameters. Launching its standard-weight 40-grain payload at a swift, supersonic muzzle velocity of 1,255 FPS, this round delivers a hard-hitting trajectory optimized for modern rimfire platforms. Mechanically, the copper-plated jacket acts as a low-friction interface within the barrel, minimizing lead transfer down the rifling while maintaining uniform bore engagement. Additionally, the unique DynaPoint geometry features a controlled-expansion semi-hollow cavity that initiates uniform flattening on impact, providing a major terminal upgrade over standard solid lead round nose rounds.
Operating at a smooth 1,255 FPS, this high-velocity load generates the optimal backpressure and slide momentum required to reliably cycle a wide variety of modern rimfire handguns, bolt-actions, and finicky semi-automatic rifles. Built to support uninterrupted high-volume workflows, the series is packed with a highly consistent priming compound and clean-burning propellants. This ensures rapid rim ignition and clear chamber pressure thresholds shot after shot. Housed in a generous 500-round master brick, this bulk configuration keeps you running through extensive training drills and property pest management setups with zero maintenance interruptions.
Key Benefits
- 500-Round Bulk Range Brick: High-volume master brick packaging reduces single-box reloading downtime, keeping your rimfire platforms fully fed for all-day range sessions.
- Fouling-Reducing Copper Plating: Clean-running copper exterior minimizes raw lead-to-bore contact, suppressing accuracy-degrading buildup inside the barrel.
