22 WMR Ammo For Sale
Overview of 22 WMR Ammo
Developed by Winchester in 1959, the .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WMR) was a potent cartridge that was soon produced by Smith & Wesson and Ruger. Winchester produced their Model 61 rifle for the .22 WMR beginning in 1960, while Savage introduced its famous Model 24 โ a combination rifle for .22 WMR and .410 in an over-under configuration.
At its most basic level, the 22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire is an enlarged version of the popular .22 Winchester Rimfire (WRF). Contrary to popular belief, the WMR cannot be used safely in weapons chambered for the 22 WRF โ or any other caliber. The WMR was the most powerful rimfire round in the world for many years, outperforming the .22 Winchester Centerfire. However, that distinction today belongs to the .17 Winchester Super Magnum. Another attractive aspect of the 22 WMR round for shooters is that itโs widely available and reasonably priced.

Been shooting 30 and 40 grain but this 45 grain pops and it is quick and a great fireball making it that much fun.
