.22 Magnum .22 WMR Shootout Accuracy Test - Rossi RS22M CCI Hornady Aguila

This video compares the .22 LR, .17 HMR, and .22 WMR (Magnum) through various barrier tests. The .17 HMR showed surprising performance in lumber and steel, while the .22 WMR's hollow point excelled in ballistic gel. Despite varying results, the .22 WMR generally offered more penetration and energy than the .22 LR across tests.

This video showcases the customization of a Volquartsen VT2 rifle in .22 Magnum for varmint hunting. Key upgrades include swapping the factory Magpul stock for a Woox wood stock and grip for a 'homestead' aesthetic, leveraging the rifle's AR-15 parts compatibility. The build is completed with a bipod, a 1-8x magnified optic, and an upgraded muzzle device, highlighting the VT2's takedown feature for portability.

This review highlights seven diverse .22 LR and .22 Magnum rifles for 2025, ranging from classic lever-actions like the Henry Golden Boy to modern bolt-actions such as the Tikka T1x MTR and Bergara BMR Carbon. It covers semi-automatics like the Bear Creek Arsenal BC-201 and high-capacity options like the Kel-Tec CMR30, emphasizing features like accuracy, weight, barrel options, and unique functionalities like toolless takedown.

This review covers the Standard Manufacturing Switch Gun, a compact folding revolver chambered in .22 WMR. The video demonstrates its unique spring-loaded deployment mechanism, loading five rounds, and a live-fire sequence showcasing its single-action operation and recoil. It highlights the firearm's potential for concealed carry and self-defense applications.

This review by Buckeye Ballistics provides expert-level insight into the CCI Uppercut .22 WMR ammunition, specifically its performance in ballistic gel tests. The analysis highlights its effectiveness from a 3-inch barrel handgun, demonstrating consistent expansion and penetration that rivals some larger caliber defensive rounds, particularly when tested through denim. The data suggests this rimfire load is a viable option for personal defense.

This video compares the terminal performance of five common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) by shooting watermelons. The test demonstrates a significant increase in destructive power from .22LR up to .45 ACP, with the larger calibers causing more explosive expansion and fragmentation. Specific hollow-point ammunition from Speer, Aguila, and Underwood was used, highlighting the importance of bullet construction for terminal ballistics.

Buckeye Ballistics conducted a comparative test of common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) against concrete blocks. The host, demonstrating significant firearm and ballistics knowledge, emphasized extreme safety precautions due to ricochet risks. The test revealed that while larger calibers showed more damage, none could fully penetrate the concrete block's second wall, suggesting limitations for self-defense scenarios against hardened barriers.

This Taurus TX22 review details its performance with various .22 LR ammunition. While initially reliable with CCI Mini-Mags and cycling standard velocity rounds well, it encountered malfunctions with sub-sonic and high-velocity loads. A catastrophic failure occurred due to a squib load followed by a second shot, resulting in a bulged barrel and damaged magazine.

This video compares the terminal ballistics of .22LR, .22WMR, and .17HMR rimfire cartridges using cantaloupes as targets. The .22LR showed a clean pass-through with minor damage, the .22WMR caused an explosive front-face disintegration, and the .17HMR, despite its speed, disintegrated internally with no exit. The test highlights how different rimfire rounds perform on soft tissue simulants.
