Details

A classic .22 long rifle round that every older shooter can remember, this Remington yellow Jacket has been around for as long as most of us can remember. A testament to the power of the brand name, its values and the quality of the components that Remington has been producing for decades; the marker of success in these areas being the longevity of the round.

This is also about as plain vanilla a round as you will find, with the moderate to hot load (Remington alluding to Hyper Velocity), the mild recoil and the medium grain weight. This is a mainstay in the Remington ammunition line, and is especially well received by tube fed and bolt action and single shot rifles. It can tend to be a bit fussy with oddball spring tensions in some of the modern semi-autos but has always performed reliably in the old classic rimfire rifles and many of the pistols. It is a very good cartridge for .22LR revolvers. The accuracy isn’t as good as you can find with the newer match ammunition, but the price point isn’t the same either. As far as .22LR hunting goes, this is a great choice with the good velocity (1500 fps) and the 165 ft. lbs. of energy at the muzzle.

A: The muzzle velocity of these Remington Yellow Jacket bullets is 1500fps, and at 50 yards their velocity is 1247fps. These numbers are from a rifle.

A: Well, standard velocity 22LR ammo is a 40gr bullet at 1040-1080fps. High velocity ammo pushes the same bullet (or a 36gr bullet) to 1200 or more fps, while hyper velocity ammo sometimes uses slightly lighter bullets that are traveling at or above 1400fps. High velocity ammo is more reliable than standard velocity ammo in most semi auto pistols, because it has more recoil energy, which is necessary to operate a blowback action. You should try several different types of high velocity ammo to see which one functions best in your pistol.

A: These Yellow Jackets are a good choice for small game hunting. No .22LR ammo is going to "knock down" a target unless it's a light steel plate that's being knocked over. If you put the bullet in the right place, it will do the rest, and you will have a quick and clean kill.

A: Higher velocity loads are generally better for hunting with a 22LR because they have flatter trajectories and more energy. However, if you wish to hunt with a suppressed .22 and keep noise down, subsonic loads are ideal. That said, with proper fieldcraft and shot placement, any .22LR load will suffice for hunting very small game.
