Rimfire Rifle Ballistics

August 12, 2021 By GunnersDen

22lr ballistics

The below rimfire rifle ballistics information will give bullet weight measured in grains, bullet ballistic coefficient, bullet velocity measured in feet per second, bullet energy measured in foot pounds and bullet trajectory measured in inches for the more popular and newly introduced rimfire cartridges, (factory ammunition). .17 HM2 – .17 HMR – .17 WSM – 5mm Rem. Mag., .22 BB Cap – .22 CB Cap – .22 Short – .22 Long – .22 LR – .22 WRF – .22 WMR. This table gives a good reliable comparison of rimfire rifle ballistics.
Cartridges Manufactured By: (A) = Aguila, (C) = CCI, (H) = Hornady, (R) = Remington, (W) = Winchester.

Rimfire ballistics chart:

The chart is mobile friendly, just by sliding your finger over to the side. On a computer screen, click on the chart with your mouse, and scroll over with your arrows.

Rifle Zero:

To save space on the chart, I cut out the rifle zero portion of the chart. Rifle zero is 50 yards for each cartridge listed below.
