Lapua Long Range .22 LR Ammunition

Lapua Long Range .22 LR Ammunition – 40 Grain Lead Round Nose

Lapua Long Range is .22 LR match ammunition built for shooting rimfire at 100 yards and beyond. Lapua loads it with a higher velocity than its position-shooting rounds, 1,106 fps (337 m/s) against 1,073 fps for Center-X, so the 40 grain lead round nose bullet arrives at distance with a flatter trajectory and less wind drift. That is the difference that matters when the targets are at 100, 200 and 300 yards: less holdover between stages and less correction when the wind picks up.

It is made for the disciplines where those distances are the norm: NRL22 and PRS rimfire, rimfire benchrest, and Long Gong. If you shoot 50-yard smallbore or 25-yard pistol, Center-X or Midas+ is the better fit; Long Range is the round to pick when your match card starts at 100 yards. Lapua's Super Long Range is the premium-grade version of this load at the same velocity.

Like all match rimfire ammunition, Long Range is barrel-sensitive. For the best results, test it against your current load at your match distance, and once you find a lot your rifle likes, buy enough of that lot to get through the season if it's available. Creedmoor Sports stocks Long Range alongside Lapua Super Long Range, Center-X, Midas+ and X-Act so you can test side by side.
