Frequently Asked Questions

What are the specifications for Remington Target 22LR ammunition?

Remington Target 22LR ammunition is a standard velocity load featuring a 40-grain bullet. It is designed to travel at approximately 1,150 feet per second, making it suitable for a wide range of .22 semi-automatic rifles.

Why is it important to check the bore when using low-power 22LR ammo?

Low-power 22LR ammunition may not have enough energy to reliably cycle the action of semi-automatic rifles. If a bullet fails to exit the barrel, firing another round into it can cause significant damage to the firearm's bore.

Which semi-automatic .22 rifles were tested with Remington Target 22LR ammo?

The video tested the Remington Target 22LR ammunition in several popular semi-automatic .22 rifles, including the Remington Model 60, Remington Model 795, Savage Model 64, Ruger 10/22, and Remington Model 597.

Can all .22LR ammunition reliably operate semi-automatic rifle actions?

No, not all .22LR ammunition is designed to cycle semi-automatic actions. Very low-power loads, sometimes marketed as 'quiet' or 'sub-sonic,' may only be suitable for revolvers and can cause cycling issues in semi-automatic firearms.
