Rimfire Ammunition

About

Rimfire ammunition in .22 LR, .22 WMR and .17 HMR, from standard velocity through to match grade. Rimfire rifles are strikingly fussy about ammunition, and this catches out shooters who have only used centrefire. Two brands of 40-grain .22 LR, both perfectly correct on paper, can group completely differently out of the same barrel. That is normal and it is not a fault. The method that works: buy single boxes of three or four loads, shoot five-shot groups of each at the distance you actually shoot on the same afternoon, then buy the winner in quantity and write down the lot number. Rimfire lots vary, so when you find one your rifle loves, buy deep. Choosing between types: subsonic stays under the speed of sound so there is no crack from the bullet, which makes it the right choice close to houses and stock, at the cost of range. High velocity gives flatter flight and more effect on target, and is the general-purpose answer. Match is made to tighter tolerances for paper and will usually out-group both. Ammunition is collection only from our Roseville Chase store. We do not ship ammunition of any kind. Bring a current firearms licence.
