About Rifle Ammo

The history of rifle ammunition dates back to the 19th century when black powder was the primary propellant for firearms. Early rifle ammunition was typically made with lead bullets and black powder, which limited its range and accuracy.

In the late 1800s, smokeless powder was introduced, which allowed for higher velocities and improved accuracy. This led to the development of new rifle cartridges, such as the .30-30 Winchester and the .303 British, which quickly became popular for hunting and military use.

Over time, manufacturers adopted rimfire cartridges to be fired from rifles as small as .22 caliber to as large as .58 caliber.

Shooters immediately liked these rimfire cartridges, as they were faster and easier to reload than a muzzleloader and were also easier to transport.

During World War I and II, advancements in metallurgy and manufacturing processes led to the development of even more powerful rifle cartridges, such as the 30-06 Springfield and the 7.62x54R, which were used in military rifles such as the M1 Garand.

In the post-war era, advancements in ballistics technology led to the development of even more specialized rifle ammunition, such as the 308 Winchester and the 223 Remington, which became extremely popular for hunting and tactical applications.

Rifle ammunition continues to evolve with advancements in cartridge development, bullet design, and powder technology.

As a result, modern rifle ammo is capable of exceptional accuracy, range, and power.

QUESTION: How old do you have to be to buy rifle ammo?

ANSWER: Purchase restrictions on ammunition, like all things firearm-related, are regulated by the ATF.

ATF regulations state that the minimum age to purchase ammo matches the minimum age to purchase the relevant firearm. The age to purchase rifles is 18 years old, so it's the same for rifle ammunition.

QUESTION: Where should you store rifle ammo?

ANSWER: Rifle ammunition does not require special storage when compared to other ammunition. A dedicated room for storage is always preferred for ammunition storage but is not required. Any cool, dry location will suffice.

QUESTION: What is the best rifle ammo?

ANSWER: The short answer is the ammo that you have available. After that, the best ammunition is the one you can find that fits your budget and your firearm.

Manufacturers make ammunition to fit certain specifications based on intended firearm and use. The best ammunition for you will be the one that most closely aligns with those for your situation.

QUESTION: What is considered pistol ammo versus rifle?

ANSWER: Whether ammunition is pistol or rifle ammo is defined by the ATF using jurisdiction provided under the Gun Control Act of 1968. It's the ATF's job to define ammo to assist in regulation. The ATF defines ammunition based on the firearm the round is designed for.

Rifle ammo, then, is ammunition designed to be fired from a rifle. Pistol (or handgun in ATF terminology) ammunition is intended for use in pistols.

QUESTION: How much does rifle ammo cost?

ANSWER: Rifle ammunition varies in price based on caliber and other factors like supply and demand. Certain rifle calibers that are not in high demand and have a relatively low supply are priced differently than a 223 or 5.56 rifle round is.

Rifle rounds have ranged from as low as $0.05 per round for .22 caliber rounds to over $10 for a 50 caliber round. Depending on fluctuations in supply, that scale will slide accordingly.
