Rimfire Ammo
Rimfire Ammo For Sale | Ammo Deals
Rimfire ammunition is the trusted choice for small-caliber shooting enthusiasts, delivering excellent performance for a variety of uses, including recreational plinking, competitive shooting, and small game hunting. With a broad range of calibers and options from brands like CCI, Hornady, Federal, Aguila, Remington, Winchester, and Norma, there’s a rimfire solution for every shooter. This guide highlights popular calibers, leading manufacturers, and answers to common questions to enhance your shooting experience.
What Does Rimfire Mean in Ammo?
Rimfire ammunition derives its name from the unique ignition method where the firing pin strikes the rim of the cartridge base to ignite the primer. This design contrasts with centerfire ammo, which uses a primer located at the center of the cartridge base. Due to its construction, rimfire cartridges are lightweight and less powerful, making them ideal for cost-effective shooting and smaller firearms.
Some widely-used rimfire cartridges include .22 Long Rifle (.22 LR), .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire (.17 HMR), .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (.22 WMR), and specialty rounds like .17 Winchester Super Magnum (.17 WSM). Their versatility makes them a top choice for training, pest control, and precision shooting.
Popular Rimfire Calibers
- Purpose: Favored for its high velocity and flat trajectory, .17 HMR excels in small game hunting and precision shooting.
- Top Brands: CCI, Hornady, and Federal.
- Purpose: Known for even greater speed and power than .17 HMR, .17 WSM is ideal for long-range varmint hunting.
- Top Brands: Winchester and Norma.
.22 CB Long Ammo:
- Purpose: Designed for low-recoil, quiet shooting, .22 CB Long is a great choice for pest control and target practice.

How Is Rimfire Different from Centerfire Ammo?
The primary distinction between rimfire and centerfire ammunition lies in their ignition systems:
- Rimfire: Ignition occurs when the firing pin strikes the rim of the cartridge, making these rounds lightweight and disposable after use. Rimfire cartridges are commonly used in lower-powered firearms and cannot be reloaded.
- Centerfire: A primer located in the center of the cartridge base ignites the powder. Centerfire rounds are typically larger, more powerful, and suitable for a broader range of firearms, including those used for large game hunting. These cartridges are reloadable, adding value for high-volume shooters.
Cost and application further differentiate the two types. Rimfire ammo is generally more affordable and better suited for recreational shooting and small game hunting, while centerfire cartridges are preferred for high-stakes applications like big game hunting and self-defense.
Rimfire Ammo FAQs
What does grain weight mean for your shooting experience?
Grain weight represents the weight of the bullet. Lighter bullets travel faster and have less recoil, making them ideal for precision shooting and small game hunting.
What bullet types are available in rimfire ammo?
Full Metal Jacket (FMJ): Best for target practice due to its durability and affordability.
Hollow Point (HP): Expands on impact, increasing stopping power for hunting.
Polymer Tip: Combines the aerodynamics of FMJ with the expansion of HP for long-range accuracy.
Can rimfire ammo be used for self-defense?
While rimfire calibers like .22 WMR can be used in self-defense scenarios, they are less effective compared to centerfire cartridges due to their reduced power. Rimfire ammo is better suited for recreational and hunting applications.
What is the best way to store rimfire ammo?
Store rimfire ammunition in a cool, dry environment. Use airtight containers or ammo cans to protect it from moisture and temperature fluctuations.
How long does rimfire ammo last?
When stored under proper conditions, rimfire ammo can remain functional for over a decade. Periodic inspection ensures reliability.
