The .22 WMR (Winchester Magnum Rimfire) cartridge has a flatter trajectory compared to the standard .22 LR due to its higher velocity and energy. Typically, it can travel at speeds around 2,000 feet per second, allowing for effective range up to 150 yards or more, depending on the specific load and rifle used. Its trajectory is characterized by a relatively low arc, making it suitable for varmint hunting and small game. However, shooters must still account for bullet drop and wind drift at longer distances.
