FAQ’s About Rimfire Ammo

1.        What is the difference between rimfire ammo and centerfire ammo?

The main difference between rimfire ammo and centerfire ammo is the way in which the primer compound is ignited. When you use rimfire ammo, the firing pin hits the rim of the cartridge in order to fire the round, which is where the primer is located. When you use centerfire ammo, the firing pin hits the center of the cartridge base, which is where the primer is visibly located.

2.        Is rimfire ammo or centerfire ammo better?

There are different pros and cons to both rimfire ammo and centerfire ammo. Rimfire ammo is typically affordable and ideal for training, but it is not re-loadable or ideal for long-distance shooting (over 100 yards) due to its lightweight nature. Centerfire ammo is reloadable and accurate for long-distance shooting, however, it can be considerably more costly. The true answer is: It depends on what you intend to use the ammunition for.
