Many shooters started off on the venerable .22 caliber rimfire round. It’s a cheap round that’s great for new shooters to learn with, but the .22 long rifle round has one downfall. Some weapons encounter feeding issues with the .22lr rimfire ammo. Winchester recently announced the release of their new M-22 round, said to offer more feed reliability with most high-capacity semi auto firearme.
Winchester® Ammunition continues to invest in its rimfire product line with the development of a new 22 LR round for use in Modern Sporting Rifles (MSR).
New for 2011, this bullet is designed and packaged specifically for use in the growing number of high-capacity MSR 22 LRs. The new M-22 features a 40-grain Plated Lead Round Nose bullet optimized for reliable feeding in high capacity magazines. In addition, the M-22 utilizes non-corrosive priming and clean burning powder that delivers an ultrafast 1255 fps velocity and exceptional accuracy.
“The M-22 is designed for the high capacity MSR and provides a smooth functioning, affordable option with great accuracy,” said Brett Flaugher, vice president of sales and marketing for Winchester Ammunition. “We made the M-22 available exclusively in a 1000-round bulk value pack to meet the demands of our customers at an attractive price point.”
