Remington .22 Short 27-grain copper-plated round nose (CPRN) ammunition (brand part no. R21003) is part of Remington’s reintroduction of the .22 Short to its rimfire product line, bringing back a genuinely historic small-bore cartridge at a lighter bullet weight than its 29-grain sibling load. Remington loads a 27-grain copper-plated round nose bullet in a reloadable brass case, and while its small stature might suggest otherwise, the .22 Short holds its own for plinking targets, punching paper, and tackling small pests. Its light recoil and low report also make it an excellent choice for instructing new shooters on the fundamentals of operating a firearm. This is rimfire ammunition for shooters who want an affordable, low-recoil round for casual range time or teaching a new shooter.
