For all the fame and glory of centerfire cartridges, rimfire cartridges, in particular the .22 Long Rifle, .22 Magnum and .17 HMR, are fired in volumes many times greater than all centerfire cartridges combined. Here is a glimpse of some of the more popular rimfires, although we have lost many more excellent rimfires to time. I hope you find the video at least a little informative. So much more can be written and said about these versatile, accurate and affordable rimfire cartridges. Thank you for watching and supporting the channel if you are able.

Crazy to see such a diversity of rimfire cartridges. I've never even heard of some of these.
Happy New Year USOG 😀😎😀
Happy New Year Chris. Hope your Dad is happy and well. The very best to you for you all in 2021!
I had no idea there have been so many rimfire cartridges. Thanks USOG for bringing these to light. While I throughly enjoy learning about firearms and their chamberings , I can’t find much time to do so. The value of your videos, at least for me, is that you present great material that expands my knowledge without having to read hours of material. You seem to have found a “sweet spot” of presenting valuable information that people are interested in. Keep doing what you’re doing, it helps to feed to soul.
Best regards
I recently fired a bolt gun in 17 Mach 2. What a fabulous little cartridge!
rimfires are alot of fun i wish someone loaded the older ones like 32 38 and 44 rimfire here in america it would make older guns viable again at least to shoot
17 WSM came out with a 15 grain lead free, 3300 or 3400 fps. Still trying to find out more about them. 17 wsm and 22 hornet ballistics are pretty close together. Still again great video! 220 swift, 22-250, 204 ruger, 222, 222 mag 221 firebal, 223 video please. Thanks again!
Don't forget 219 Donaldson wasp... Stellar!
Lately I've gotten into collecting old rimfire cartridges, one day I'll make a display box for them. The old boxes can be interesting. I even buy obsolete rimfire calibers for guns I don't yet have, you just never know when that .25 RF rifle will show up. There were .32RF shotshells that used hollow wooden "bullets" to contain the shot, I recently found 19 of them in a bag of random ammo at a gun shop.
You are a man of Your word Sir , You said You'd do some more cartridge videos and here's one as requested just to start 2021 right ,the .218 Bee is a very interesting cartridge and incredibly powerful from what I've read , though looking through several Shooters Bibles I have , there aren't many manufactures catering for it , Thank You what a great start to 2021 . Wow I'm first viewer & first to comment , not that it matters in any real way but it's a novelty anyway ! Shoot Straight , Stay Safe & Stay Well !
Richard Dixon Hi Richard. When my grandpa passed, I got his Savage 340 in .222 Remington and my brother got his .218 Bee. He used them as carry guns while trapping in the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s. While the .218 Bee cartridge is hard to find, it is still available occasionally. There are one or two ammo manufacturers that still make it about once a year. I always have an eye open for this ammo and buy it whenever I can for my brother. While I wouldn’t call it an incredibly powerful round, it’s no slouch in the velocity department at about 3100fps with a 40 grain bullet. It’s a great little, accurate round, out to about 100 yards.
@@hamburgermaniscool1405 Thanks for reply , I have never seen or held any of the rifle's or cartridges mentioned , but I have read as much as I've been able to find about the .222 & .218 , I live in the UK and own No Powder burners , due partially to cost and also our restrictive legislation and the cost / conditions required to do so . So I shoot Air rifles mostly and occasionally get to use the odd shotgun or rimfire when invited by friends who are more well heeled than I , I have fired a .303 SMLE on a couple of occasions as a youth in the Air Training Corp & and even got to use a Bren Gun with 5 rounds in the Mag , Once ! , I shall check out the .340 savage when I get chance .
Thanks again for the info . Shoot Straight Stay Safe & Stay Well .
Thank you for another excellent instructive and educational video. As I have gotten older, I have gained a new appreciation for .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle cartridges and the guns that chamber them. Very interesting to learn about the other rimfire cartridges. Keep up the good work.
Great synopsis of rimfire cartridges! One could make at least an hour video about the 22LR alone! There so many variables ... subsonic, standard, high, hyper, round nose, hollow point, segmented, copper, lead, washed, polymer, different lubricants, bulk, precision, many different projectile weights and on and on and on. And then we get into the effect of barrel length, twist rates, triggers and actions. Love it!!! Blessings to you and yours!
Thank you for your videos. My son and I watch them on my days off and it interests him so much. We have a small gun collection and we love shooting but he loves to learn the different types and makers. You have really caught his interest and fueled his passion. Again thank you.
Another good video 👍. I do enjoy my 22wmr great round
Mike, we sure learn lots of cool stuff listening to what you have to share with us!!
Thanks David!
Thank you Mike. For the most part rimfires give us the pleasure of target shooting and plinking at minimal cost helping us to hone our marksmanship. Happy New Year.
Don't forget the 22 WRF, precursor to the 22 WMR.
I haven't seen a box of .22 Long on the shelf in decades, but I have seen .22 WRF on the shelf in a nearby town. Then there is the .22 Extra Long which really didn't have anything extra to set it apart from the crowd. And then there is the .32 RF which fell by the wayside in the 1930's and silenced so many great firearms.
Far too often people overlook buying nicely made rimfire guns such as the .22 LR. I have heard people say "why bother it is only a .22." All I can say to that is that a nicely made gun is a joy in and of itself to shoot, and one in .22 allows a person to shoot a heck of a lot more then when one is shooting a nicely made .338 Win Mag.
Have a Happy New Year!
I keep the normal 22lr just for target shooting and fun.
All most got snake bite because of it. I think what happened was the wax lube melted and got into the power.
We were putting up cow fence in a swamp bumped a nest of rattlesnake.
The closest one I tryed to shoot but every one missfired.
My buddy had his 38 so he shot it.
More than 75% of the box of 22lr in the truck would not go off.
It was the farm truck gun that stays in it all the time.
If i use a rf for anything serious its the 22mag it doesn't seem to misfire as much.
But the farm guns a cf now. Normal a cheap 410.
My great uncle carryed a 32 rf on his tractor up into the early 80's he shot that thing so much he shot out the rifling.
Just how many of those low powered lead bullet loads did he shoot to shoot it out?
Shot my Ruger Mark II pistol today and 3/10 of the 22lr cartridges did not fire. Winchester brand.
Another great video, god bless you for posting your knowledge.
I turned on the (Closed Caption) in efforts to see how the "beardance" & "boxer" was spelled... that didn't cut the mustard.. finally did find "Berdan" & "boxer"... Thank you.. This will be some good reading I am sure of it.. Every time that you throw those tiny little bits of info that you spectulate nobody will be interested in, out side of the videos subject matter or topic, I have to pause the video, get the search engine pulled up and the name(s) typed in, so I can learn about it, LOL.. That is why your videos as so fun to watch.. Those tiny dinky little gems are a plethora of information.. Thank you.. I always love a chase.. I feel like I have been put on a mission when I hear of something from somebody that I do not know anything about.. and I can't allow that, I must learn what everybody else knows... LOL... again, Thank you.
I heard Berdan, even with my old ears.
@@3ducs Ya, I am tone deaf from a loud explosion back in 1996 to 97.. So I do watch a bit of Closed caption.. some times is nice though, as it is the same band width as my lady's voice.. lol
@@drubradley8821 Oddly enough I became deaf to my ex-wife's voice... I understand that that is a thing that many men experience as they get older.
Always been fascinated with the old obsolete cartridges and especially the rimfires.
Interesting to see them laid out like that. Reminds me I'd love to make some sort of cartridge display some time. Thanks for sharing, all the best in the new year!
This is good and very well done .. It all backs up to the .22 short ctg 150 plus years ago , now look at the mix today it's limitless .. I have enjoyed the .22 WMR ever since it came out and i still shoot that ctg , for a rimfire it's still a great ctg.... I have never owned a firearm in .17 HMR so far , i came close 12 years ago but decided against it which was a nice bolt action rifle .. I see a lot of them at the range some days ..Shooters were shooting bottle caps @200 yards with that ctg, fun to watch the match rifles do their magic ...Maybe later on i should add one to my mix ....
You did good this is a great video ...
Thanks so much for the good information. I liked that you showed the 222Rem! What a great round! Take care.
As I grow older, I have gravitated back towards the rimfire rifles that I enjoyed as a kid -- the hard-kicking magnums just don't interest me any longer.
You're not alone Duke. I too have stepped back to the rimfires. After having my shoulder and hands beat up for so many years, it's nice to shoot those small calibers again.
@@mikek8089 Exactly. With all the pins and plates in my wrists, bad knees, and already poor hearing, I say crack out the .22's!
Maybe I will get to that point some day. I have probably a dozen rimfire guns but they don't get shot much. I tend to go through phases.
@@jakeoutdoors9600, Hang on to 'em, cuz when you're tired of getting pounded, you'll be glad you have those fine little shooters!
@@mikek8089 LOL. Thanks for the advice. I have never talked to someone who rotates their firearm collection who doesn't say '"I would like to have that _______ back' so I myself do not sell. I just buy stuff that tickles my fancy whenever it presents itself. I don't find them, they find me. I actually went in to special order a 500 Linebaugh BFR but in the used gun cabinet there was a 500 S&W so I got that instead. It was barely used no ring around the cylinder. The one time I was going to order a gun. But they are pretty similar in power and the 500 Mag is cheaper to reload for so it worked out wonderfully.
These cartridge discussions are great!
Thanks Rob - hope not too boring
Happy New Year!
Stay safe and healthy.
All the best wishes.
Another great presentation. Thank you for what you do. 👍🏻🇨🇦
Nice selection of cartridges. Some of those older ones you have displayed are antique and hard to find.
2mm pinfire has too much recoil for my liking.
😂 okay
.25 acp rifles are something I wish I had shop access to make a reality. Selling them as an upmarket version of .22lr rifles and even full size handguns would sell well if marketed properly.
Me as well EA - I'd buy your rifle in a heartbeat - the .25 ACP is a breeze to own and shoot and soft point bullets make it that much more effective.
Awesome idea!
Thanks. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge of firearms and ammunition.
Nice comparison. I've always been meaning to get a .22 WMR, but somehow I always manage to overlook them when I'm out shopping. I actually set out to buy one once, but the store didn't have one. They did, however, have the newly released Ruger American Rimfire in 22 LR, so I bought it. I've got five .22 LR's now, and when I was out just before Christmas I almost bought a Browning SA-22 in 22 LR. I had to quickly remind myself that I didn't need anymore. 22 LR's are an addictive little caliber to own. lol
Always interesting thanks for the video there are just so many rimfires out there I like the .22 wrf.
That's an interesting thought.
Very cool video, stocked with great tidbits about rimfire rounds. I've got a little box with random RF's that I've come across, pretty much a box of stray examples from the American Civil War to current. I really should dig it out of the closet and figure out what's in it. Another project for another day, LOL!
Happy New Year, may 2021 shape up as better than 2020! Take care and thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience through these videos; we appreciate and enjoy them!
Belated New Year greetings to you sir. 44-40, 32 rim and other miscellaneous historic cartridges such as the European short rimfire line made by Lebel are known to me, but with the exception of 44-40, 22 Hornet and 22 long rifle haven't captured my attention. I certainly want to say all is well. The irony is that any lingering problem seems to be the least of worry, and if anything, another way to preoccupy the mind in the resolution of it, while diverting attention toward more productive activities.
Cheers sir! Thanks again!
Do you have an opinion on the 257 Weatherby magnum cartridge? Thank you
Hi Bubba L - Phenomenal flat trajectory as you know, burns a lot of powder to get that velocity and needs a long barrel. An amazing performer on game. I saw a deer hit with the .257 in Saskatchewan at over 500 yards - not that far by todays standards I guess - but the deer was completely flattened and out - not a twitch that I could see through my binos. Roy Weatherby went to Africa with it - you could see his results - amazing.
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns thank you sir! I really appreciate your opinions. I use it for deer hunting in the southeast but rarely do I get to stretch its legs out past 150-200yards....i do love it though. Happy new year!
I just recently was given a Mason jar full of .22 rat shot. Once and a while you will see old smooth bore .22's that were made specifically for rat shot You need a Savage .22 HiPower---the only .22 with a .228 bullet that I know of. Lot of old cartridges went away. I hunt deer in West Virginia and the regulations read a legal rifle is "A centerfire rifle or a rimfire of .25 caliber or larger."
That 5mm Remington looks like a good little varmint cartridge. Nice to see another .17 Mach 2 fan. Thanks for doing the spread, nice to see them all laid out.
Thanks Billy Bob.
Great presentation.
I wish some manufacturer would bring back the .22 long.
I have a Browning (FN) slide action that is chambered for .22 long.
Currently I just use it with shorts and it shoots well with those.
Hard to find..for sure.
Wonderful presentation with excellent detailed camera work. The craziest rimfire I have ever seen in the " .11 Whatsit." I have only ever seen one in person and its in my brother's collection. It looks like a 4mm rimfire necked down to 11 caliber with a shotgun bb for a projectile. Supposedly there is no gun to shoot it, its just an old gimmick. Its funny I picked up like 6 boxes of the 17wsm intending to get a rifle but never did.
One of the rifles I learned to shoot with was Remington falling block in 32 long. CIL loaded that but burned down as you know. Too bad as the larger rimfire rounds were quote useful.
But you know that. Alot of people don't.
I hope Aguilla brings some of the old rimfires back.
I had a .25 stevens rimfire for a few years
I have one also but ammo is next to impossible to get!
My new favorite channel
So glad you're on the channel!
I've heard there's less wind drift with the 17 hmr then the 22 mag because of the bc. But it doesn't seem like there would be.
I do a lot of practical shooting in windy fields and I live in a pretty windy part of the world. I shoot at small targets, varmints.
And I have found from personal experience that a high velocity .22 long rifle bucks the wind considerably better than the .17 hmr.
I loved my .17 on a calm day but ended up selling it because of the windy days.
You are the asmr guy of guns.
Awesome! I looked up "ASMR" - it says I am a "tingly feeling" ; this sounds good : )
I too would choose a 30-06 for visual comparison, which shows our age.
Some time in the future, even if it is just a snippet of info, maybe talk about, I think they call them "spun bullets".. I could be wrong on that title.. but they are bullets that are solid copper, solid brass, or a certain alloy of the two.. and not just a copper jackets around a lead slug... I think that would be an entertaining subject matter. The whole game of why or why not, either being due to cost, or time to manufacture them.. I am sure there is more to this other then them only being used in PRS or ELR type sport shooting.. No hurry, just a thought, beings that you are a walking encyclopedia of the firearms industry and ballistic and projectile manufacturing industry... Just saying.. I bet you know something about this subject.. either way, Thank you.. always a fun video.
I'd say the 22lr is the cheapest to use and practice with quiet loads of offerings subsonics, hv, target or match plus cheap bulk ammo. 22 mag is the better versatile option for hunting 28gr to 50gr ammo and everything from ballistic tips, hollow points and soft points too
I agree - simply excellent.
4mm lang Randzünder/Flobert is still getting produced by RWS here in Germany. So it shouldn't that difficult to get some. Sadly they stopped making the 4mm M20 Centerfire so a lot of guns will run out of ammo.
What happens if you talk too much about ballistic performance? What's that all about?
The algorithm can demonitize - not a good thing when the channel is broke already. I keep going anyway.
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns That is a shame. We are living in strange times.
Hi,
can you please make a video on the Mauser M 18.
Thx have a nice day
Missed the .22 extra lr aka cci stinger for use in .22 lr guns. Which got longer case and shorter/lighter bullet, than a standard lr round.
Thanks Vincent - I'll make another video - there were so many rimfires.
You showed the .22 Short & Long Rifle and mentioned the Long but didn't comment on what it looks like. It looks like a Long Rifle case with a Short bullet. I'm sure the powder charge is different.
I find any rimfire magnum round to be too pricey compared to the Long Rifle, which is why I prefer the .22 Hornet that can be reloaded. I have a Hornet barrel for my H&R Handi Rifle and a BFR to go with it. I used to have a Winchester bolt action in .218 Bee, and I could kick myself for parting with it.
None of my .22 RF LR revolvers have the optional magnum cylinder because of the ammo cost. I would rather handload the Hornet and bring out my BFR.
I'm not sure if you've done a video on it yet but I recently discovered that there are adaptors for shotguns which allows you to shoot different calibers. I think the one I saw was a 22 short that went into a 12 gauge type shell adaptor. Not sure what else they make.
Hi Gee - I think I made a video or two - maybe on Patreon - thanks for the suggestion - I'll make something for the main channel.
What's the rifle you're shooting in the intro 00:00
great stuff
In my opinion Winchester made a mistake... they should have come out with 25WSM instead of 17WSM. Now that would be a cartridge! Obsolete 25 rimfire and 32 rimfire we're great cartridges and popular for their day but today with current technology they would be great.
I love my 17 mach 2
Thank makes 2 of us! : )
I have some 22 Long sitting in my gun cabinet. You didn't mention the 22 Winchester rimfire, parent case of the 22 magnum. I have some 22 WRF also. Is there a way to send some to you? An email perhaps? At one time there was also a .22 Extra Long.
FYI, the 17 Mach 2 is a necked down CCI Stinger case, not a necked down 22LR standard case. You'll notice the 17 M2 case is slightly longer than the LR case.
Rim fire are great at fun
@usog any experience with a 22 WRF? I have an old Remington 121 in that caliber that’s in great shape in that caliber.
I have a remington 12-C in 22 WRF or as remington called it 22 Special.
I like that little9mm and 5mm Flobert (spelling?). I know you are busy, but if you know off hand please advise me who makes rifles for that parlor cartridge other than Anschu. I would like to order a nice classic example of a single shot if you know of any. I’ll try to do some research on the internet, but as I’ve said I am not a computer guy. Going to our ranch or to the range is easy for anything, but I always like to find fun rifles to shoot on my little lane in town. Cheers.
Hi Aaron - Please let me know which state/province you're in. Maybe I can find. Best, Mike
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns I live in the dreaded California. I currently have three shops that make and accept out of state orders for me. I prefer and collect vintage or classic firearms, like single shots or bolt actions pumps leavers or any shotgun, so I don’t ever have any problems shipping what I like to collect. Thank you much.
I never watch your videos without my Hornady loading book. 🙂. I watched one once, and couldn't find it and almost lost my mind 😃
Very interesting. I knew in the old days there were a lot of rimfire, but had no idea there were so many still around.
And you reload rimfire? You have to see if you can put out a video without TH-cam punishing you.
And if I could offer a little constructive criticism, it was maybe a little disjointed. Just take a run up the board talking about each one in particular and move on, but I know it's hard. I don't think we would mind if you had show notes with you. Not being a jerk, I just wanted to offer some help.
Hope you're doing great over the holidays and have a good year coming up.
Hey Jim - Happy New Year - always good to hear from you. Rimfire cartridges are so great - I'm trying to get Aquilla to make special runs of some of the classics - .32 RF, .25 RF and others. Maybe I'll have to visit them to explain better. All the best to you Jim!
It doesn’t matter which one is best. You can’t find any .22 in the Denver market.
Fair enough. Maybe I should have wondered which was best before the ammo ran out. : )
4 billion rounds of .22 LR a year, and I can’t find any anywhere!
I know what you mean - they keep printing and can't keep up.
Usog could you please do a review or your thoughts on a beginners deer cartridge 243, 6.5 cal and 2506 or a round you would recommend to 1st time whitetail deer hunter
Hello Ad H - I can do that; and in the meantime - I'm not sure where you are or which deer but you can't go too far wrong with a .243 Winchester in any decent bolt action - such as the Ruger 77, Rem. 700 or Win. Model 70, Howa or Tikka. Thanks for asking.
The 17bmag is actually the fastest rim fire
Thanks for the note; the Savage B Mag rifle sure is something.
I seen them midway usa 22 long months ago probably not in stock
Thanks Matt - I'll keep watching for some longs.
Pretty sure I've shot 4 million of those 4 billion 22lr in said year.
Love that Joshua!

Are compatible the 22 long and the 22LR?
Hi Carlos - The short, long and long rifle all work in a .22LR but won't cycle a semi-auto action. Single shot rifles and bolt actions often work with all 3 - as will many pump rifles. One has to try and see if the the rifle you own cycles the shorter rounds.
How the heck in AMERICA, can you be censored for ANYTHING having to do with firearms? What in Gods name has become of us?
Hi LK - Strange and hard to understand - but somehow it happened. We sometimes sit here and are completely puzzled. Still, life goes on and change can always come. All the best to you.
what about 218 bee
I think it is on the right side of the board. Center fire of course.
