The 22 WMR isn’t the most powerful round you could pick for self-defense. That’s something you already know all too well. But when it is expertly designed and thoroughly tested by Federal Premium, the 22 Mag can hold its own against any threat!

This is Federal’s Punch series ammunition – exclusively intended for personal protection. Its 45 grain projectile attains 1,000 fps muzzle velocity out of a compact pistol’s 2” barrel, at which rate it’ll hit a close-range target with less than 100 ft lbs of energy.

That’s not much striking energy, admittedly, but the Punch jacketed hollow point has a secret weapon: deep penetration. Despite what its appearance suggests, the nickel-plated JHP is actually designed to minimize terminal expansion. That way it can use its limited energy to punch a channel all the way to one of the threat’s vital organs – “lights out” switches, if you will.

Each round in this plastic box features a nickel-plated case to match its bullet. Smooth nickel facilitates smoother extraction from the chamber. It wards off corrosion as well!
