Armscor Ammo 22LR 36 Grain Hollow Point Hi-Velocity 50 Round Box

Product Description

The Armscor Ammo 22LR 36 Grain Hollow Point Hi-Velocity is a rimfire cartridge loaded with a 36 grain hollow point projectile designed to expand on impact. This round suits small game hunters and shooters who need reliable feeding and terminal performance in a light-recoiling rimfire package.

Hollow point bullets in .22 LR are engineered to expand when they strike soft tissue, transferring energy quickly rather than passing through. The 36 grain weight sits at the lighter end of the .22 LR spectrum, and when paired with a hi-velocity load, it delivers flat trajectory at typical rimfire distances.

This ammunition is sold in 50-round boxes, a convenient count for range sessions or field use without the bulk of a value pack.

Why Choose 36 Grain .22 LR Hollow Point

The 36 grain projectile is lighter than the standard 40-grain loadings most shooters start with. Less bullet weight typically means higher velocity when powder charge remains similar, which translates to a flatter flight path and less holdover at 50 or 75 yards.

Hollow point .22 LR rounds are not typically chosen for target shooting. They excel in hunting squirrels, rabbits, and nuisance animals where you want the bullet to expand and stop inside the target rather than exit and continue traveling. The cavity in the nose allows the lead to peel back on impact, creating a wider wound channel.

Armscor produces this ammunition under their precision small arms division, and shooters often choose it when they want dependable rimfire performance without paying match-grade prices. If you are wondering about feeding reliability in your specific firearm, semi-automatics can be more selective about bullet profile than bolt rifles, so test a box before buying in quantity.

Armscor 22LR Ammo Review Considerations

Rimfire ammunition performance varies by firearm. Barrel length, chamber dimensions, and rifling twist all influence how a given load shoots in your rifle or pistol. Some guns prefer standard velocity loads, while others cycle best with high-velocity rounds like this one.

The only way to know if this Armscor 22LR 36gr load suits your gun is to shoot it. Accuracy, cycling reliability, and point of impact will all differ compared to other brands and bullet weights. Buy a box, shoot groups at your typical distances, and confirm it cycles your action reliably before stocking up.

For hunters, check your local game regulations. Some states specify bullet type or energy minimums for certain game animals, and .22 LR hollow points are widely legal but not universal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the velocity of Armscor 22LR 36 grain hollow point ammo?

A: The manufacturer designates this as a hi-velocity load, but the exact muzzle velocity is not provided in the product specification. Velocity will also vary depending on barrel length. Call 817-393-4000 and we can help you find published data or recommend a chronograph test.

Q: Is Armscor 22LR 36gr good for hunting or plinking?

A: This hollow point load is designed primarily for hunting small game and pest control where bullet expansion is desired. Plinking and target shooting are typically done with cheaper round-nose or solid-point ammunition, since expansion is unnecessary and hollow points usually cost more per round.

Q: Will Armscor 22LR ammo cycle in my semi-automatic rifle or pistol?

A: Cycling reliability depends on your specific firearm, its action type, and how it was manufactured. Hi-velocity loads like this one generally cycle semi-autos more reliably than standard or subsonic rounds, but every gun has preferences. Test a box in your firearm to confirm reliable feeding and ejection before buying in bulk.

Q: How does 36 grain .22 LR compare to 40 grain loads?

A: A 36 grain bullet is lighter than the common 40 grain standard, which typically results in higher velocity and a flatter trajectory at the same powder charge. The trade-off is that lighter bullets shed velocity faster and may be more affected by wind. For close-range hunting inside 75 yards, the difference is minimal.

Q: Can I use this ammunition for target shooting and competition?

A: You can shoot it at paper targets, but hollow point ammunition is generally more expensive than round-nose or solid-point target loads and offers no accuracy advantage for punching holes in paper. Competitors and high-volume recreational shooters typically choose match-grade or bulk target ammunition instead.

Q: How do I buy ammunition at Western Sport in Roanoke, TX?
