  2. .22 long rifle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.22_Long_Rifle

    A powder with a slower burning rate is used to make the most use of the length of a rifle barrel. Most .22 long rifle powders increase velocity up to about 19 in (480 mm) of the barrel. The powder used in the Stinger increases velocity up to the longest .22 barrel length tested by the NRA, 26 in (660 mm). [24]

  3. Muzzle velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzzle_velocity

    So, the muzzle velocity of a 2-inch (51 mm) barrel is less than that of a 4-inch (100 mm) barrel, which is less than that of a 6-inch (150 mm) barrel. Large naval guns will have high length-to-diameter ratios, ranging between 38:1 to 50:1. This length ratio maximizes the projectile velocity.

    Common rifle cartridges, from the largest .50 BMG to the smallest .22 Long Rifle with a $1 United States dollar bill in the background as a reference point. This is a table of selected pistol/submachine gun and rifle/machine gun cartridges by common name. Data values are the highest found for the cartridge, and might not occur in the same load ...

  5. .22 long - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.22_Long

    The overall length is still within the max overall length for the .22 long rifle. The .22 long is still produced even after the change over to smokeless powders . CCI currently loads a high-velocity .22 long with a muzzle velocity of 1,215 ft/s (370 m/s) and a muzzle energy of 95 ft⋅lbf (129 J) [ 2 ]

  6. Muzzle energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzzle_energy

    Muzzle energy is dependent upon the factors previously listed, and velocity is highly variable depending upon the length of the barrel a projectile is fired from. [2] Also the muzzle energy is only an upper limit for how much energy is transmitted to the target, and the effects of a ballistic trauma depend on several other factors as well.

  7. .22 Hornet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.22_Hornet

    The .22 Hornet or 5.6×36mmR Hornet [2] is a varminting, small-game hunting, survival and competition centerfire rifle cartridge commercially introduced in 1930. It is considerably more powerful than the rimfire .22 WMR and the .17 HMR , achieving higher velocity with a bullet twice the weight of the .17 HMR bullet.

  8. .22 caliber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.22_caliber

    .22 caliber, or 5.6 mm, refers to a common firearms bore diameter of 0.22 inch (5.6 mm) in both rimfire and centerfire cartridges. Cartridges in this caliber include the very widely used .22 Long Rifle and .223 Remington/5.56×45mm NATO. .22 inch is also a popular air gun pellet caliber, second only to the ubiquitous .177 caliber.

  9. Rimfire ammunition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rimfire_ammunition

    It combined the casing of the .22 Long with the 40-grain (2.6 g) bullet of the .22 Extra Long, giving it a longer overall length, a higher muzzle velocity, and superior performance as a hunting and target round, rendering the .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Extra Long cartridges obsolete.
