Variants
There are a variety of different types of .22 LR loads. They are often divided into four distinct categories, based on nominal velocity:
- Subsonic, which also includes "target" or "match" loads, at nominal speeds below 1,100 ft/s (340 m/s).
- Standard-velocity: 1,000–1,135 ft/s (300–346 m/s). Common velocities are around 1,125 ft/s (343 m/s).
- High-velocity: 1,200–1,310 ft/s (370–400 m/s) per second.
- Hyper-velocity, or Ultra-velocity: over 1,400 ft/s (430 m/s).
