.22lr FMJ ammo

[simonrichter]

Update: There actually IS FMJ .22lr ammo

...apart from the WWII High Standard issued stuff!

And it's even tracer ammo as well, how cool is that!

I've already laid my eyes and hands on this, it's not a hoax!

I think most 22 mag bullets are FMJ whether hollow point or solid...they are about twice as expensive as LR ammo. Of course, the case is longer too.

It's curious that the only 22 mag ammo I can get to shoot well in my Ruger Single Six is the Winchester 45 grain Dyna Point, which might be the only 22 mag loaded with copper plated (washed?) bullets and not FMJs.

For .22 WMR, FMJ is quite the normal thing. It's 22lr FMJ that's obviously such a rare bird

I'd like to see 22 LR wadcutter ammo, they made it before WWII.

There are a couple of tools you can get that will let you reshape 22 rounds to different nose profiles and style is a WC bullet. Or very close to a WC bullet. Scroll down the page to the ACU'RZR.

CCI .22LR SGB (Small Game Bullet) is a solid lead, non-plated, flat point, kinda semi wadcutter of the 22 "high velocity" variety. Very effective on squirrels and rabbits with very little meat destruction. I haven't used it on any other game but I bet it would make a decent close range varmint load.
