Frequently Asked Questions

What are the smallest common ammunition calibers?

The smallest common ammunition calibers are typically rimfire rounds. The video highlights the 17 HMR and 17 Mach 2 as being smaller than the widely known .22 LR, featuring a tinier bullet diameter.

How do .22 LR and .22 WMR compare?

.22 LR and .22 WMR (Winchester Magnum Rimfire) use the same bullet diameter. However, the .22 WMR case holds more gunpowder, resulting in higher velocity and more power compared to the standard .22 LR.

What is the 220 Swift cartridge?

The 220 Swift is a high-velocity rifle cartridge. It's essentially a .308 cartridge case that has been 'necked down' to accept a .22 caliber bullet, allowing for extremely high speeds.

What is the largest caliber shown in the video?

The largest caliber featured in the video is the .50 BMG (Browning Machine Gun). It is shown in a side-by-side comparison with the smallest caliber, the 17 HMR, to emphasize the vast difference in size.
