How do you tell if your rifle is a rimfire or centerfire?

To determine if your rifle is rimfire or centerfire, examine the cartridge it uses. Rimfire cartridges have the primer located in the rim of the cartridge case, while centerfire cartridges have the primer located in the center of the base. Additionally, rimfire rifles typically use smaller calibers, such as .22 LR, whereas centerfire rifles encompass a broader range of calibers and are generally used for higher-powered ammunition. If you're unsure, refer to the manufacturer’s specifications or markings on the rifle.

What is the main difference between centerfire and rimfire ammunition?

It is a difference in the placement of the priming compound. This compound is sensitive to physical impact, and, being struck by the firing pin, explodes to ignite the gunpowder in the cartridge case. In the rimfire cartridge, the case, made of soft brass, has a folded rim. Primer compound placed inside that folded rim is exploded when the rim is pinched between the firing pin and the mouth of the chamber. Centerfire ammunition has the primer in a pocket at the rear center of the cartridge case. That case has harder brass, and is capable of handling higher pressures than rimfire ammunition. Centerfire ammunition can be reloaded after firing by replacing the primer, powder and bullet. Rimfire ammo is not generally reloadable.
