Ruger 10/22

The .22 Long Rifle (LR) rimfire cartridge was developed by the J. Stevens Arms & Tool Company in 1887 by combining both the casing of the .22 Long with the 40 grain bullet of the .22 Extra Long. Made for various rifles, revolvers, pistols and some smooth bore shotguns, the .22 LR is the most common cartridge in the world in terms of units sold.

The main advantages of the .22 LR are its low cost, low noise and low recoil, making it the ideal cartridge for small game hunting, recreational shooting, firearm training, target shooting and plinking.

The .22 LR cartridge is the cartridge of choice for many International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) shooting events, such as the: 50 meter rifle three positions, 50 meter rifle prone, 50 meter pistol, 25 meter pistol, and many more. It is also used by many high school and collegiate shooters as well as the Air Training Corps and Boy Scouts of America.
