How to choose rimfire ammunition

Choose by firearm first, then by velocity and bullet type. Use only the cartridge marked on your barrel, since 22 Long Rifle, 22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, and 17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire are not interchangeable.

Choose a velocity

  • Standard velocity loads are typically quieter and are a popular choice for target work and training.
  • High velocity loads shoot flatter and are common for plinking and small game, and they often cycle semi-automatic rifles more reliably.
  • Subsonic loads stay below the speed of sound and are the quietest option.

Choose a bullet type

Lead round nose bullets are the standard for target shooting and plinking. Copper-plated hollow points are made for small game hunting, where expansion matters. Match grade ammunition is made to tighter tolerances for competition.

Choose a pack size

Standard boxes of 50 are a good way to test a load in your firearm. Bulk packs lower the cost per round for high-volume shooting. Keep rounds in their original packaging, using ammo boxes and storage if you move them.

Common uses

Plinkers and new shooters favor affordable high velocity loads. Competitors test several match loads to find what their rifle prefers. Small game hunters choose hollow points. Follow your state's hunting regulations.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between 22 LR and 22 WMR?

The 22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire has a larger case and a higher velocity, which extends its useful range on small game. The two are not interchangeable.

Why does 22 LR sometimes misfire?

Rimfire ignition depends on priming compound in the rim, so an occasional dud is more common than with centerfire ammunition. Store rounds dry and cool, and clear a misfire safely with the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.

How do I find the most accurate load for my rifle?

Every rimfire rifle prefers certain loads. Try a few boxes with different brands and velocities to find the best match.
