Frequently Asked Questions
Buy .22 WRF Ammo for Sale
Can you shoot 22 LR out of a 22 WRF?
No, you shouldn't fire .22 LR in a .22 WRF chamber. The cartridge will fit loosely in the chamber and rim recess, but it won't headspace properly, risking dangerous misfires or firearm damage. Only use ammunition marked for your specific firearm.
Is 22 WRF ammo still made?
Yes. Both Winchester and CCI manufacture .22 WRF ammunition. Winchester offers it under their Super-X line, while CCI also produces a load. Availability is limited and sporadic due to low demand and small production runs.
What does 22 WRF stand for?
WRF stands for Winchester Rimfire. Winchester developed this cartridge in the late 1800s as a more powerful .22 caliber rimfire round than the .22 LR, intended for varmint and small game hunting. It is largely obsolete but still occasionally produced by Winchester and CCI.
Is a 22 WRF the same as a 22 Magnum?
No, they are different cartridges. The .22 WRF (Winchester Rim Fire) is older and shorter than the .22 WMR (Winchester Magnum Rimfire). .22 WRF can be fired in .22 WMR chambers, but .22 WMR cannot be fired in .22 WRF chambers.
Can you shoot 22 WRF in a 22 WMR?
Most sources indicate .22 WRF can be fired in a .22 WMR chamber due to similar dimensions, but at least one source disputes this. Because expert opinion conflicts, consult a qualified gunsmith before attempting it. The reverse—firing .22 WMR in a .22 WRF firearm—is not safe.
What is the velocity of a 22 WRF?
Winchester's .22 WRF typically achieves around 1300 fps with a 45-grain bullet. Velocity varies by load and manufacturer, so check your specific ammunition packaging for exact figures.
