22 LR FEDERAL CHAMPION 36 GRAIN CPHP (5250 ROUNDS)
At AmmoMan.com, we strive to be as forthright as possible when we represent the products that we offer for sale. We don’t believe we’re remotely exaggerating, however, when we claim that 5,250 rounds is a LOT of ammunition. To put that staggering number into perspective, let’s say your aim is perfect and you manage to shoot 5,250 gray squirrels using only this box of fine 22 LR cartridges. If they each weighed an average of 1.1 pounds, that would be 5775 pounds total of squirrel -- approximately the weight of one mature giraffe. And since a gray squirrel’s average litter size is six pups, that means you would prevent about 15,750 new squirrels from being born.
If you do the math, something frightening reveals itself: Were those 15,750 hypothetical squirrels allowed to also breed, and then again and so on, then before long the entire world would be blanketed several feet deep in a writhing mass of crazed, ravenous squirrels. It would spell the end of mankind, let alone the sunflower seed industry. That means this big box of 22s represents not only economical shooting pleasure, but possibly the prevention of doomsday itself. See? We never exaggerate!
This 22 LR round from Federal's Champion line of ammunition features a 36 grain projectile. The bullet’s copper plating will spare your bore from rapid lead fouling, preserving your accuracy, and its hollow point causes it to expand dramatically within soft targets, suiting it perfectly for varmint control. Plinking and target practice are worthy applications for it as well, and with so many to go through you’ll be able to get creative with how you use it. It’s fit for long storage thanks to its corrosion resistant brass casing and non-corrosive rimfire primer, and all around well-made thanks to Federal’s commitment to excellence. Federal is based in Minnesota, where they are especially unfond of squirrels because the pests are known to break into summer cabins and steal tater tot hotdishes.

Posted onJust imagine how much varmint can be taken with 5,250 rounds. You could also spend hundreds of hours at the range with this depending on your trigger finger feelings. All jokes aside, that’s a lot of dead squirrels.

AmmoMan.com stocks ammo from more than a dozen brands, from Winchester ammunition and other major U.S. manufacturers to imported steel-cased options. Match an ammo brand to caliber, budget, and use case below, then shop the in-stock selection. Every listing shows the regular price and the unit price (cost per round), so it's easy to compare brands before checkout. Orders over $99 ship free, and returning customers earn rewards on every order, whether buying a single box or stocking up in bulk.
How to Choose an Ammo Brand
Match the Brand to Your Caliber
Not every brand makes every caliber. Winchester and Federal cover the widest range: pistol, rifle, rimfire, and shotgun. Wolf and Tula run steel-cased rifle ammo in 7.62x39 and 5.45x39 at a lower cost per round. Speer and Hornady are the go-to names for defensive handgun loads. Start on the caliber page for the specific firearm, then compare which brands are in stock and at what price per round.
AmmoMan.com breaks stock down by caliber as well as by brand. Shoppers who already know what they're loading can go straight to that caliber's page and compare brands there: 9mm ammo, 10mm ammo, 40 S&W ammo, 45 ACP ammo, 223/5.56 ammo, 308 ammo, 7.62x39 ammo, and 300 Blackout ammo each list current stock and price per round across every brand carried in that caliber. Coming back the other way works too. A shooter who likes a brand's 9mm load can check this page to see whether that same brand also makes ammo for their rifle.
Match the Brand to Your Use Case
Range and training ammo is a cost-per-round game. Wolf, Magtech, and PMC are the common picks for high-volume shooting and sport shooting leagues that go through a case at a time. Personal defense and duty ammo is judged on terminal performance instead: Federal HST, Speer Gold Dot, and Hornady Critical Defense are the names that show up most in that category. Hunting ammo depends on the game and the caliber, with Federal, Winchester, and Hornady all running dedicated hunting lines. Precision and competition shooting runs on a different standard: round-to-round consistency matters more than price per round. Black Hills built its reputation on match-grade accuracy, and Winchester's newer Supreme Long Range line targets that same long-distance crowd. Once a brand fits the caliber and budget, check current stock before checkout, since availability shifts often.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most reliable ammo brand?
Reliability depends on caliber and application. For personal defense, Federal, Speer, and Hornady all have strong track records in law enforcement testing. For range training, PMC, Magtech, and Winchester White Box run consistently across a wide range of firearms, from sport shooting leagues to weekend range trips.
Is foreign-made ammo as good as American-made ammo?
Foreign manufacturers like Sellier & Bellot, Fiocchi, Magtech, and Prvi Partizan build to the same SAAMI or CIP pressure standards as American brands, and they're widely used for range training. Some shooters still prefer American-made brass-cased ammo for hunting and personal defense. U.S. and other NATO forces even use ammo made by foreign brands like PMC in the Pacific.
What's the difference between steel-cased and brass-cased ammo brands?
Steel-cased ammo brands like Wolf and Tula cost less per round and hold up fine for high-volume range days, though steel cases don't reload as well as brass. Brass-cased ammo brands, including Federal, Winchester, PMC, and Hornady, cost more but run cleaner and stand up better to reloading. For personal defense or hunting, brass-cased ammo is the safer default. For a weekend at the range, steel-cased ammo saves money without giving up much.
Which brands are best for buying in bulk?
Case-quantity pricing matters most for range and training rounds fired by the hundreds, and Wolf, Tula, PMC, and Magtech all price down as quantity goes up. Orders over $99 ship free no matter which brands end up in the cart, so combining brands into one order beats checking out separately. Manufacturers also run mail-in rebate promotions from time to time, so it can pay to check for a current rebate on a given brand before buying.
Does brand matter more than bullet type?
Bullet type, like FMJ, JHP, or soft point, usually matters more than brand for picking the right ammo for the job. Once the bullet type is set, the brand choice is really about reliability and price per round.
Stock turns over as each brand runs through production, so the fastest way to find the right ammo brand for a specific gun is to filter by caliber and check what's currently in stock above.
