There are a lot of companies that manufacture .22 rim-fire ammunition and a few companies that aren't around any more. What is fascinating to me is the variety of designs and marketing ideas company have put into selling their ammo over the years. Here is a list of some of the major manufactures CCI (U.S.A.)
, Eley (U.K.) ,Federal (U.S.A.), Fiocchi (Italy), Lapua (Finland), PMC (U.S.A.), Remington (U.S.A.), RWS (Germany), Winchester/Olin (U.S.A.) of course you will find there are a lot more out there. Most manufactures also market a variety of different styles usually with a catchy name like Federal Lightning, Wildcats,super x, Kleanbore, or CCI Mini Mags just to name a few. There are also different sub calibers in .22 rim-fire like .22 short, .22 long, .22 long rifle, and .22 magnum. And different special application loads and bullets like sub sonic, high velocity,hyper velocity, CBs, quiet, plinking, varmit, and shotshell. I seriously doubt anyone has collected every variation and brand manufactured over the years and in different country s but it's fun to see how many you can find especially the antique and vintage ones.
