Deep Dive
Overview
This 22lr ammo is intended for small game and varmint hunting. The plated hollow point design is commonly chosen for targets such as squirrel and rabbit where expansion is useful. It also fits pest control and general field shooting where a hollow point rimfire round is preferred. This load works in both rifles and pistols used for rimfire hunting. It may also be used for sight-in or practice sessions using the same ammunition carried into the field.
History and Development
Remington has produced rimfire ammunition for sporting and hunting use for many decades. The Golden line reflects a long-standing approach to rimfire hunting built around plated hollow point bullets. Over time, Remington has updated rimfire manufacturing methods to improve consistency and accuracy. Golden Hunter applies those refinements within a familiar 22 LR hunting configuration. The product remains part of Remington’s core rimfire hunting offerings.
