22LR Ammo
22 LR or "Long Rifle" is one of the oldest cartridges. The 22 LR is a "rimfire" design, the primer for ignition is filled within the the base rim of the cartridge. This is crushed by the firing pin of the weapon igniting the gun powder and firing the cartridge. The 22 LR is America's favorite and greatest selling caliber. The 22 LR's benefits are its low recoil, low price (often can be only about a tenth of most any centerfire caliber) as well as the usually lower price of the weapons chambered in this great round. This chambering has a lot of variety and most ammo manufacturers make at least one-to-many types of 22 LR. The power of this round, while lethal, ranges from very subsonic on up to standard velocity, high velocity and up to different kinds of "hyper" velocity options. There are also "exotics" like old CB "gallery" loads (usually in the shorter, older versions of "22 Long" and "22 short"), Colibris, SSS and many others. Contact us if you have any questions.
