Frequently Asked Questions
Buy .22 Short Ammo for Sale

What is a .22 Short good for?

.22 Short excels at pest control and target practice, especially in noise-sensitive areas. It works well for small-game hunting in suburban settings and fits compact handguns. Lighter than .22 LR, it's practical when carrying large quantities. Low recoil suits beginners.

Is .22 Short ammo still made?

Yes, .22 Short is still manufactured. Remington produces it currently, available in hollow point and round nose configurations. Prices vary by retailer but expect to pay around $15.99 per box. Check our marketplace for current listings and availability.

How far will a 22 Short shoot accurately?

.22 Short is accurate to about 50 yards for consistent groups. At 100 yards, results become marginal. Expect roughly 2–3 inch groups at 50 yards under typical conditions. It loses velocity faster than .22 LR, so performance beyond 50 yards depends heavily on your specific rifle and ammunition.

Is a .22 Short quieter than a .22 LR?

Yes, .22 Short is generally quieter than standard .22 LR due to lower powder charge, lighter bullet, and reduced velocity. However, subsonic .22 LR loads can be comparably quiet. For the quietest options, CCI CB Shorts or CCI Quiet .22 LR are worth considering.

Is 22 Short cheaper than 22 LR?

No, .22 Short typically costs more than .22 LR. Despite simpler construction, lower production volume drives up per-round costs. .22 LR benefits from massive manufacturing scale and high demand, making it significantly cheaper and far more widely available.

Will 22 Short work in a 22 LR rifle?

Yes, .22 Short will fire safely in most .22 LR rifles. However, semi-automatic rifles may not cycle reliably due to the lower gas output. Bolt-action rifles handle both rounds without issue. Accuracy may also suffer slightly due to the bullet jumping a longer distance before engaging the rifling.
