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 – 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 – 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 it’s widely available and reasonably priced.

Federal Premium Ammunition recently introduced Federal Punch 22 WMR, a rimfire round engineered specifically for personal protection. Designed for compact backup firearms, Federal Punch delivers reliable expansion and penetration through barriers like heavy clothing—a critical consideration for defensive scenarios. For an in-depth look at Federal Punch's real-world performance and accuracy testing, read our Federal Punch 22 WMR review.

  • Rawhider said:

    I have not had a great experience with the 22 mag in the past, but picked up a little uberti rolling block in said caliber bought a brick of armscor and will look no farther works for me

  • Russell said:

    I am impressed with this Armscor ammunition. It performs well. I have been having some issues with the rounds feeding from the magazine into the chamber of my new Smith & Wesson .22 Mag. However, I feel that may be because of the magazines S&W provided, not the ammo.
