Remington Ammunition is once again producing cartridges in the versatile and user-friendly .22 Short caliber. Now shipping to dealers nationwide, the updated .22 Short line includes both a 27-grain hollow point and a 29-grain round nose offering, tailored for plinking, pest control and training new shooters.
“Big tasks sometimes call for short solutions—and our reintroduced .22 Short delivers just that,” said Dan Compton, Remington’s Rimfire Product Director. “It’s a perfect choice for varmint specialists and first-time shooters looking for a low-recoil, lower-noise round that still performs with confidence.”
.22 Short is the first American-made metallic cartridge, with roots that go all the way back to 1857. Originally loaded black powder, today’s smokeless-powder version remains a viable choice for shooters looking for a cartridge with a minimum of recoil and noise.
The very mild recoil and low noise of a .22 Short round mean it is well-suited for everything from backyard plinking to close-range pest control. These cartridges provide a mild report for improved shooter comfort, and Remington’s rimfire manufacturing process ensures consistent accuracy and reliable function. The two available loads offer options for expansion or penetration, depending on the task at hand. The 29-grain round nose bullet is designed for penetration, while the 27-grain hollowpoint load is designed to expand on impact. Both are available in 50-count boxes with an MSRP of $7.99
