About the Cartridge

The Stevens Arms Co. developed the .22 Long Rifle rimfire cartridge from the .22 Long cartridge case developed 16 years earlier, with a 40 grain round nose bullet loaded to a higher velocity than the older 29 grain .22 Long bullet. Modern .22 Long Rifle High Velocity cartridges drive a 40 grain copper-plated bullet at a muzzle velocity of 1255 fps and muzzle energy of 140 ft-lbs from a rifle barrel. This rimfire cartridge has become the most popular sporting and target shooting cartridge in the world.

Reliable 22
By Tom on 13 Dec 2019
This is the most reliable 22 semi auto I have owned. I've shot several different brands and it shoots them all, including standard velocity. Take down is literally 10 seconds or less. Great fun to shoot and my wife even likes it which says a lot.
