Superior Shooting carries rimfire ammunition in the most popular calibers including .22 LR, .22 WMR, and .17 HMR. Available loads span bulk training and plinking rounds, standard and high-velocity hunting loads for small game, and match-grade options for precision rimfire shooting. Stop in or check online for current inventory across all available brands and quantities.
.22 LR, or Long Rifle, is the most widely used rimfire cartridge in the world and is valued for its low cost, minimal recoil, and broad availability in rifles, pistols, and revolvers. .22 WMR, or Winchester Magnum Rimfire, is a larger and more powerful rimfire cartridge that delivers significantly more velocity and energy, making it better suited for longer-range varmint hunting and small game at distances where .22 LR runs out of steam. The two cartridges are not interchangeable and require different firearms.
Yes. Rimfire ammunition, particularly .22 LR and .22 WMR, is well suited for small game hunting including squirrel, rabbit, and other species legal for rimfire harvest under Michigan DNR regulations. .22 LR is effective at typical small game distances under 75 yards, while .22 WMR extends that range and adds more energy for cleaner kills on larger small game. Always verify current Michigan DNR season dates, bag limits, and legal methods for the species you are pursuing before heading afield.
No. Rimfire cartridges are not legal for deer hunting in Michigan and lack the energy and terminal performance required for ethical harvest of deer-sized game. Michigan law requires appropriate centerfire calibers for deer hunting, including straight-wall cartridges in the Lower Peninsula and a broader range of centerfire options in the Upper Peninsula. Rimfire should be reserved for small game, varmints, target shooting, and training applications where it is both legal and effective.
.22 LR is best suited for plinking and informal target shooting, small game and varmint hunting at close to moderate range, youth and new shooter introduction programs, and affordable marksmanship training that builds fundamental skills at a fraction of the cost of centerfire practice. Its low recoil and noise level make it an ideal platform for teaching new shooters proper technique, and its low cost makes high-volume practice sessions accessible for shooters at any level.
Yes. A red dot sight is a practical and popular upgrade for rimfire rifles and pistols, improving target acquisition speed and making range sessions more engaging for shooters of all skill levels. Most rimfire rifles and many rimfire pistols have a rail, grooved receiver, or mounting options that accept standard red dot mounts. The low recoil of rimfire platforms is easy on optic components, making even budget-friendly red dots a durable choice for .22 use. Loftus Firearms carries red dot sights compatible with popular rimfire platforms.
For high-volume range training and plinking, standard velocity or high-velocity .22 LR loads in bulk packaging from established manufacturers offer the best value. Look for loads with consistent velocities and reliable primer ignition to minimize misfires and keep your training sessions running smoothly. Match-grade .22 LR is available for precision rimfire competition and benchrest shooting where consistency matters more than cost. The staff at Superior Shooting can point you toward the best available bulk options in current stock.
No. Rimfire ammunition purchases in Michigan do not require a permit, background check, or special license for adults who are legally permitted to possess firearms and ammunition. A valid government-issued ID may be requested at the point of sale to confirm age. Michigan’s safe storage law applies to firearms but responsible storage of all ammunition, including rimfire, in a secure location away from unauthorized access is always a recommended best practice.
