Federal Punch | 22LR | 29gr | Flat Nose | 200rd Box

When it comes to rimfire self-defense, penetration is the priority. The Federal Punch 22LR 29gr Flat Nose (PD22L1) is engineered specifically to overcome the traditional shortcomings of the .22 Long Rifle cartridge in defensive scenarios. By utilizing a heavy-for-caliber, non-expanding lead core bullet, Federal has created a round that delivers the deep penetration required to meet or exceed FBI testing protocols from short-barreled handguns.

Maximum Penetration, Minimal Expansion

Unlike standard hollow points that may lack the velocity to expand or penetrate deeply from sub-compact pistols, the 29-grain nickel-plated lead core bullet features a unique flat nose profile. This design is built to punch through heavy clothing and soft tissue without deforming prematurely, ensuring the energy is spent where it matters most.

Performance Optimized for CCW Pistols

While many .22 LR loads are tested in long rifle barrels, the Federal Premium Punch line is optimized for the concealed carry platforms most users actually carry. Whether you are using a Ruger LCP II, a Smith & Wesson M&P22 Compact, or a high-capacity rimfire revolver, you can expect consistent ignition and reliable cycling. The nickel-plated casings offer superior corrosion resistance and smoother extraction in high-stress situations.

Why Choose Federal Punch 22LR?

For shooters who prefer the low recoil of a rimfire platform for personal protection, the Federal PD22L1 provides a significant tactical advantage. It bridges the gap between practice ammunition and specialized defensive glass-breaker or barrier-blind rounds, offering a flat-shooting, deep-penetrating solution that you can trust.

Available now in 200rd boxes and 2000rd bulk cases for those who want to train with the same high-performance load they carry.
