22 WMR — the 22 Magnum — steps decisively past 22 LR, driving 30 to 45 grain bullets at up to 2,200 fps from a rifle. It extends small-game and varmint range beyond 100 yards and hits with authority 22 LR cannot match, whether from a rifle, revolver, or the growing class of 22 WMR pistols. Jacketed hollow points dominate; FMJ and polymer tips fill out the lineup.
