The .22 Long Rifle cartridge, also known as 5.6x15mmR, is a popular .22 caliber rimfire ammunition. It's the world's most common ammo with various rifles, pistols, revolvers, submachine guns, and even some shotguns using this caliber. Primarily used for small game hunting, sports shooting, plinking, and inexpensive training, it is employed in numerous events like biathlon, bullseye, benchrest shooting, metallic silhouette, pin shooting, high school competitions, Boy Scouts of America, Project Appleseed, 4H events, and more. It's also used at Olympic Games for precision Rifle and Pistol shooting. High accuracy-to-cost ratio, low cost, low recoil, and low noise make it attractive, but its low power limits use on small game and animals only.
