Rimfire Ammunition

22LR Ammo

The .22 Long Rifle cartridge was possibly introduced as early as 1884 by American cartridge manufacturer Union Metallic Cartridge Company. The .22 Long Rifle, or just.22 LR, is a type of rimfire ammunition made in the United States that has existed for a long period of time. It is used in many different types of rifles, pistols, revolvers, shotguns with smooth bores, and submachine guns.  Rimfire cartridges are often used in sport shooting and training. Both new shooters and seasoned veterans favor the.22 LR cartridge. This cartridge is perfect for target shooting, small game hunting, and pest control because of its low noise level and low recoil. The 22LR really has an impressive history of successfully repelling invaders. Using the right ammunition, the 22LR can be a reliable self-defense weapon in the house.

Since the cartridge has minimal after-effects, it is well-suited for use in first-time shooter training. The louder noise and heavier recoil of higher powerful rounds might be intimidating for inexperienced shooters. It's common for beginners who push themselves too far when shooting a firearm to start flinching in anticipation of the recoil. Because of this propensity, proper posture and follow-through are compromised during the most crucial part of the shot, making corrections problematic. When excessive recoil is removed, other flaws in shooting form become more apparent. This is a significant reason why the 22LR ammunition is extremely popular in the United States today. 

22 WMR

Winchester introduced the .22 WMR in 1959, but didn't start using it until the Winchester Model 61 sliding rifle could be chambered for it in 1960. The .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire is a rimfire cartridge, often known as the.22 Magnum, the .22 WMR, or the .22 Mag. The original.22 WMR cartridge used a 40-grain (2.6-g) bullet and fired it from a rifle barrel at a speed of around 2,000 feet per second (610 meters per second); since then, the cartridge's velocity has been increased to that of either 50 grains (3.2 g) at 1,530 feet per second (470 meters per second) or 30 grains (1.9 g) at 2,200 feet per second (670 meters per second).

.17 HMR Ammo

The .17 Hornady Magnum is a  rimfire rifle cartridge designed by Hornady in 2002, the 17 HMR is more well known by its acronym. The .22 Magnum casing was shortened so that it could accommodate a .17 caliber (4.5 mm) bullet. Typically, it is loaded with a 17-grain (1.1 g) projectile, which allows it to achieve muzzle velocity in excess of 775 m/s (2,650 ft/s).
