Remington Yellow Jacket 22LR Ammo 33 Grain Truncated Cone Hollow Point - 21233
The Remington Yellow Jacket is a 22LR hyper-velocity rimfire load built around a 33 grain plated truncated cone hollow point bullet. Running at 1500 fps with 165 ft lbs of muzzle energy, this load is designed for small game hunting where reliable expansion and consistent shot placement are the priority. The truncated cone profile supports smooth feeding across a wide range of semi-automatic and bolt-action rimfire platforms. Brass cases and rimfire primers provide dependable ignition round to round. This load is packaged in boxes of 225 and cases of 2250, with 22lr bulk ammo case orders shipping free through Target Sports USA.
Features and Specifications:
- 33 Grain Plated Truncated Cone Hollow Point: The hollow point profile is designed to expand on impact for reliable energy transfer on small game.
- 1500 fps Hyper-Velocity: The elevated velocity produces a flat trajectory and supports consistent downrange performance at typical small game hunting distances.
- 165 ft lbs Muzzle Energy: This energy level is suited for squirrel, rabbit, and similarly sized small game at close to moderate distances.
- Brass Casing: Brass cases provide reliable extraction across bolt-action, semi-automatic, and lever-action 22LR platforms.
- Rimfire Consistency: Remington's updated rimfire production processes are designed to deliver lower chamber pressure with consistent velocities across the load.
- Ballistic Coefficient of .095: The BC supports predictable trajectory performance at the distances typical for 22LR small game use.
Deep Dive
Overview
This 22LR ammo is intended for small game hunting, including squirrel, rabbit, and other small animals at close to moderate distances. The hyper-velocity 1500 fps load is designed to deliver reliable expansion from the hollow point cavity while limiting excessive tissue damage, making it a practical choice for hunters who want to preserve meat. The truncated cone profile feeds reliably in semi-automatic rimfire rifles, making it suitable for follow-up shots in the field. Shooters looking for a 22LR small game load that combines hyper-velocity performance with a proven hollow point design will find the Yellow Jacket a well-suited option.
History and Development
Remington has been manufacturing rimfire ammunition since the mid-1800s, making it one of the longest-running rimfire producers in the United States. The Yellow Jacket line was developed as a hyper-velocity rimfire offering within Remington's rimfire catalog, targeting small game hunters who wanted a faster, harder-hitting 22LR load. Remington has continued to refine its rimfire production processes over time, with updates focused on improving consistency, reducing chamber pressure variation, and maintaining velocity uniformity across production runs. The Yellow Jacket remains one of the more recognized hyper-velocity 22LR options in Remington's rimfire lineup.
