Who This Is For
Federal V-Shok .22 WMR is purpose-built for rimfire varmint hunters targeting prairie dogs, ground squirrels, rabbits, and similar small pest animals at extended ranges. If you're running a .22 Magnum bolt-action or semi-automatic rifle and want ammunition that wrings every foot-per-second and foot-pound out of the cartridge, this load delivers the velocity, accuracy, and violent terminal performance serious varminters rely on season after season.

Frequently Asked Questions
What firearms is Federal V-Shok .22 WMR compatible with?
This ammunition is chambered in .22 WMR (also known as .22 Magnum) and is compatible with any rifle or handgun marked for that cartridge — including popular bolt-action varmint rifles, lever-actions, and semi-automatic platforms from manufacturers like Savage, Ruger, and Marlin. Always confirm your firearm's chamber marking before use; .22 WMR is not interchangeable with .22 LR.
Why choose a 30-grain bullet over heavier .22 WMR loads?
The lighter 30-grain Speer TNT bullet achieves a significantly higher muzzle velocity of 2,200 fps compared to heavier 40-grain loads, resulting in a flatter trajectory and more explosive terminal fragmentation at typical varmint hunting distances. This makes it an ideal choice when fast, dramatic expansion on small pests is the priority over deep penetration.
Is this ammunition suitable for target shooting or plinking, or is it strictly a hunting load?
While Federal V-Shok is optimized for varmint hunting thanks to its explosive TNT hollow point construction, its consistent accuracy and reliable ignition make it enjoyable for range sessions as well. However, the premium price point and specialized terminal performance mean most shooters will reserve it for hunting applications and use more economical FMJ or standard velocity loads for casual plinking.
