Lots wrong. Rimfire isn't a cartridge type (.22 LR is a cartridge type), it's an ignition method. And it goes on from there....
I think a picture showing the rim end of the round would be illuminating for this article. Perhaps one that compares the end to a center fire round? 204.191.24.19 14:39, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Apparently, there is a kind of reloading done for rimfires. Perhaps there should be a discussion of it, but it differs from traditional reloading, in that it is done before the ammo has been fired, substituting a different bullet, if I am interpreting it correctly. However, I don't know enough about this to know if it is significant enough to mention. This link seems well written and authoritative [1]-- 68.35.158.218 ( talk) 08:55, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
Does exists rimfire ammunition with aluminum cases? Cartridges with aluminum cases are unreloables, but this isn't a problem with rimffire ammunition. Agre22 ( talk) 23:15, 2 September 2009 (UTC)agre22
I can't guarantee I didn't miss something and am sure there's a reason but wouldn't it be better if the firing pin hits a .22 on the center? In the center means less of the expensivish priming substance. Even if it makes no difference where it hits on the very large full-diameter priming area aren't there enough gunmakers OCD enough that this would bother them?

I deleted the line saying .17 HMR was 'currently double the cost' of .22 WMR, and edited the next sentance to fit. In fact for all recent prices i have seen in the US and US based online retailers they are in fact basicaly the same price, within a dollar or two up or down. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.224.202.87 ( talk) 03:22, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
Here is an example of an entry that while being properly supported, is still wrong. "As of 2014... .22 cal ammo going for $12 - $18 for a box of 50". That .24¢ to .36¢ per round. That's bullshit. A quick look at any of the many online bulk ammo retailers shows you can buy .22LR ammo, from 50 round boxes up to 1500 round buckets for as little as .05¢ per round. - theWOLFchild 22:08, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

"Prices and product availability can vary widely from place to place and over time. Wikipedia is not a price comparison service to compare the prices of competing products, or the prices and availability of a single product from different vendors or retailers."
I reworded the paragraph removing the reported prices. The articles on other ammunition typically don't include prices. An interested reader can read the cited article or do his own price checking. MartinezMD ( talk) 00:31, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
