Winchester Ammunition’s 21 Sharp is a rimfire cartridge engineered for recreational shooters and small game hunters, designed from inception to deliver enhanced accuracy and on-target performance with both lead and lead-free projectiles. The Game & Target 25 grain Copper Matrix load is Winchester designed and lead-free, achieving sub 1.5 MOA groups at 50 yards and outperforming all lead-free .22 LR offerings currently available. This ammunition produces a muzzle velocity of 1,750 f.p.s. and delivers 170 foot-pounds of energy.
The 21 Sharp rimfire cartridge was purpose-built by Winchester to optimize performance with lead-free projectiles rather than adapt to them afterward. It fires smaller .21-caliber bullets utilizing modern bullet-design techniques, including lead-free monolithic construction and aerodynamic boattails. The 25-grain copper matrix bullet is environmentally friendly, providing lead-free performance with an emphasis on safety and effectiveness. The rounds are loaded into brass casings that ensure smooth feeding and reliable extraction.
Winchester Game & Target ammunition provides a quality choice for small game hunting and target shooting. This .21 Sharp cartridge with a 25-grain copper matrix bullet delivers excellent accuracy and terminal performance, and this box contains 100 rounds of consistent, reliable ammunition from one of America’s most respected ammunition manufacturers.
