Overview of 22 Long Rifle (LR) Ammo

22 LR ammo is the most widely produced and popular cartridge in the United States. For more than 100 years, it has served the needs of hunters, sport shooters, law enforcement, and even the military. Based on the Flobert BB cap, 22 Long Rifle ammunition is the result of continuous improvement of the BB cap to meet the need for a cartridge with accuracy, low recoil, and low noise for many applications.

The 22 LR rimfire cartridge is used in many situations, from target shooting to plinking and small rodent control. It's comparatively inexpensive, widely available, and lighter to carry – making 22 LR ammo a fantastic choice for extended shooting sessions at the range, an extended hunting trip, or a long hike while hunting rabbits and squirrels. Our 22 LR price history shows how the cheapest rimfire range ammo has moved month by month since 2009.

For reliable performance across all these applications, many shooters choose CCI Mini Mag 22LR for its consistent feeding and accuracy.

    Just bought a Rossi 22RS and only had one 10rnd mag that came with it, took about 3 days & 7 local ammo stores not having any before I found ammo.com after a short two day wait my order showed up on my door and I couldn't be happier I will be ordering more thank you much appreciated from NH

  • RLKill said:

    Great ammo, I shoot Aguila ammo all the time in different guns. .22LR is a fun round to shoot target and hunt small varmints with. Can't go wrong with Aguila Ammo. I would have given all 5 stars, but with ammo prices being what they are, there is no good value for now.

  • Ted said:

    Shoots well in my ammo picky Browning 1911 22LR.

    I have used these 38 Grn Aguila 22 Super Extra Hollow points in both my Savage 64 semi auto rifle and my Heritage Rough Rider Pistol with Excellent results ! They feed flawlessly in the semi auto and are tack driver rounds out of both weapons ! As hard as it is to source locally Ammo .com had it in stock and got it shipped to me quickly ! Hopefully some 22 Mag shows up in time wood chuck season ? Thanks for the help, much appreciated ! Lizard

  • Richard said:

    Purchased several boxes at Academy months ago, and very pleased. My .22 semi-auto pistols all function flawlessly with this ammo, unlike certain Remington and Winchester products.

    I HAVE USED SEVERAL TYPES OF AQUILA AMMO AND THEY ARE AS GOOD AS CCI ANY DAY, I SHOOT MAINLY A M&P 1522 WHICH I BELIEVE IS ONE OF RHE BEST 22 LR RIFLES ON THE MARKET

  • Sol said:

    I have never see so many jams on my Browning Buckmark. all other ammo goes through flawlessly. With the Agila Super Extra ammo, every mag produces at least one jam. Failure to feed was the most common, which also caused either the copper top to dent, or the shell casing. I gave away half the box of 500 to a friend with a .22 RF revolver. Never again.

    Great value, performance and quality. Got these rounds to plink around with my son and I have to say I'm very impressed by the round.

  • Arnold said:

    Remington preformed way better

  • Vinnie said:

    Didn't have the first misfire or shell hangup in my Henry 22LR .Always on target with perfect velocity .Always on point.A+ Ammo.

  • Amber said:

    Got this to shoot so shot about 50 rounds. 4 out of the 50 rounds went off in the chamber and got powder burns to the face. Never will I buy this again. I have 2 of the casings where it blew out the back. This is not safe to shoot.

  • Rutcutter said:

    I haven't shot at 100 yards yet. 30 and 50 yards i can keep a quarter size to a 1 1/2 hole in my target. Shooting out of a ruger 10/22 precision.

  • 841 said:

    Ammo . com shipping is fantastic. Great product. Pricey but with supplies as they are you get what you can get.

  • Russell said:

    The Anguilla 22LR cycled smoothly and was very accurate.

  • Frank said:

    Inconsistent. Some rounds hotter than others while others didn't cycle the pistol (S&W Model 41). Accuracy was fine.

  • manny said:

    After two purchases of this ammo, can only recommend if you enjoy cleaning your guns after every shooting session. Good price, but very dirty, caused failure to feeds in semi auto rifle and pistol, gummed up revolver cylinder enough to where I could barely push rounds in. Seems to be covered in a rubbery, gummy substance. If you can't afford anything else (like I couldn't), better than nothing. You'll spend the savings on solvent cleaning your guns.

    I have about 400 rounds through my Browning SA 22 and Hight Standard outlet Nine. The are accurate and run well through the Browning but are difficult to load and extract from my revolver. The cases are very tight in the cylinder. I thought the cylinder might be dirty at first but after cleaning there was no improvement. Remington and Federal loaded and extracted with no problem
