The 22 Magnum stretches rimfire range well past what a 22 LR can do, and a full metal jacketed load is ideal when you want penetration without expansion. This listing is CCI Maxi-Mag 22 WMR 40 grain Total Metal Jacket ammo, MPN 0023, sold as 1,000 rounds for 22 Magnum rifle and handgun owners, trappers, and fur hunters.
CCI rates this load at 1,875 fps with 312 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, more than double the energy of typical 22 LR high velocity loads. The 40 grain Total Metal Jacket bullet does not expand, which is exactly what fur hunters and trappers want, because it leaves a small entry and exit hole that preserves the pelt. It also shoots flat enough for steel and paper at 100 yards and beyond. For varmints you want to stop quickly, a hollow point or polymer tip 22 WMR load is the better choice.
This ammunition fits rifles and handguns chambered in 22 WMR (22 Magnum), including the Savage 93 in 22 WMR, CZ 457 in 22 WMR, Ruger American Rimfire Magnum, Henry Lever Action 22 Magnum, Marlin 925M, Kel-Tec PMR-30 and CMR-30, Ruger LCR 22 WMR, Ruger Single-Six with the 22 Magnum cylinder, and Smith and Wesson 351PD. A common question is whether 22 WMR fits a 22 LR gun. It does not. The magnum case is longer and larger in diameter. Another common question is whether 22 WMR and 17 HMR share a chamber. They do not. 17 HMR is a 22 WMR case necked down, so the two are not interchangeable.
CCI 0023 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA in Lewiston, Idaho. As rimfire ammunition it cannot be reloaded, and it is non-corrosive. This listing contains 20 boxes of 50 rounds for 1,000 total from one lot, which keeps point of impact consistent across a full trapping or target season.
