Federal’s Punch 22 LR uses a first of its kind nickel plated lead core bullet pushed at maximum velocities to achieve the deepest penetration through short-barrel handguns. Whether you want to carry a 22 LR pistol as a backup gun, don’t feel comfortable with centerfire pistols, or simply want to get more versatility from your rimfire, Federal’s Punch makes the 22 LR cartridge a viable choice for the first time ever.
