Frequently Asked Questions
Is .22 Long the same as .22 LR, and will this ammo work in my .22 LR firearm?
.22 Long and .22 Long Rifle (.22 LR) are similar but not identical cartridges. The .22 Long uses a shorter case with a lighter bullet than .22 LR. While .22 Long cartridges will often chamber and fire in .22 LR firearms, accuracy and function may vary, and it is not universally recommended. Always consult your firearm's owner's manual to confirm which cartridges are approved for use in your specific firearm before purchasing.
What makes the copper-plated bullet better than a standard lead round nose?
The copper plating on a CPRN bullet serves several practical purposes. It creates a harder, more uniform surface that feeds more smoothly through semi-automatic actions, reducing the risk of feeding malfunctions. It also encapsulates the lead core, which cuts down on airborne lead particulate at the range — a meaningful benefit for indoor shooting environments. Additionally, copper plating helps maintain bullet integrity at higher velocities for more consistent accuracy downrange.
How should I store this rimfire ammunition for long-term reliability?
Rimfire ammunition like this CCI .22 Long should be stored in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and humidity. A sealed ammo can or airtight container with a desiccant packet is an excellent storage solution. Properly stored rimfire cartridges can remain reliable for decades. Avoid storing ammunition near solvents, oils, or cleaning chemicals, as prolonged exposure to these substances can degrade the primer compound and reduce ignition reliability.
