The 22 Magnum is a favorite of farmers and small-game hunters because it reaches farther and hits harder than the 22 LR, and CCI GamePoint is built specifically for game. This listing is CCI GamePoint 22 WMR 40 grain jacketed soft point ammo, MPN 0022, sold as 1,000 rounds.
CCI rates this load at 1,875 fps with 312 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 40 grain jacketed soft point is designed to expand more gradually than a polymer-tipped varmint bullet, which helps it penetrate on larger small game such as groundhogs, foxes, coyotes at close range, and turkeys where rimfire is legal. That controlled expansion also reduces meat damage on rabbits and squirrels compared with faster-opening bullets. It is a field load for small game and predators.
This ammunition fits rifles and handguns chambered in 22 WMR, also called 22 Magnum, including the Ruger American Rimfire and 10/22 Magnum, the Savage 93R, the CZ 457, the Henry lever-action Magnum, the Marlin XT-22M, the Kel-Tec PMR-30, the Ruger LCR and Single-Six in 22 WMR, and North American Arms mini revolvers. A common question is whether 22 WMR can be fired from a 22 LR firearm. It cannot. The 22 Magnum case is longer and wider and will not chamber in a 22 LR gun. Another common question is whether 22 WMR is legal for turkey. Some states allow rimfire for fall turkey and others do not, so check your regulations.
CCI 0022 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA by CCI in Lewiston, Idaho. Rimfire cases are not reloadable. This listing ships as 20 boxes of 50 rounds for a total of 1,000 rounds of 22 WMR 40 grain GamePoint. A thousand rounds keeps your 22 Magnum fed for years of farm and field use, all from one lot so your scope zero stays put.

Great target ammo, unfortunately I haven’t used any of it yet because I bought it at a great price! I will start using in the spring when it gets a little warmer outside!
