What is the difference in grains??

There is variation enough. But for the most part, it just gives a baseline to compare between so called High Velocity, and Standard Velocity, etc. loads. I have never heard of anyone getting their money back because theirs didn't shoot exactly the velocity listed on the box, have you?

It's common to have variations of up to 150fps, or more, from rifle to rifle with a given load, with many centerfire cartridges, especially if the barrel length varies. Using match rimfire ammunition in several of my rifles, the variation was within 30fps, even though the barrel lengths varied by five inches.

With rimfire ammo at an all time low in some provinces & states, you would think that reloads would be more common..

Thing is, Rimfire casings can't be re-furbed at home like centerfire can, so it'd have to be fresh, factory produced material. And with all the factories pouring every last scrap of brass they have into immediate production of loaded ammo, which still isn't enough to meet the demand... Where are these reloadable cases going to come from, exactly?

It's an interesting idea in theory, but there's literally ZERO rimfire brass out there that isn't being sold off just as fast as it leaves the production lines.

No. To get rimfire cases to reload at home, you need to find a source for them that is willing to remove cases from their production lines before they are filled with powder, but after the priming compound is installed. The current state of things in the US, would work AGAINST getting access to such.

To be perfectly clear, the guys are loading primed rimfire cases that cannot be re-primed.

I have read of guys desperate enough to dink around with various blends of salvaged materials in order that they could re-prime a rimfire case, but I won't.

I have seen some of the idiots on Ytube, and thanks but I like my appendages right where they belong.. re-priming a case, is a good way to kill or main yourself in the most painful manor.. I'm surprised there hasn't been a lot more Darwin awards handed out for sheer cases of stupidity, in repriming cases
