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.

I have owned many rim fire revolvers and I can say that the vast majority of the available ones are not very well built. However the Ruger Single Six and it’s variants are very well built and with quality materials. Even the colt variant of this classic firearm was disappointing when compared to the Ruger. Would have given 5 stars if they had made the frame at least with the model I had for review out of steel.
