The .22 PPC USA is a small-caliber rifle cartridge developed in the United States by Ferris Pindell in the early 1980s. The cartridge was designed specifically for benchrest shooting, where accuracy is of utmost importance.
The .22 PPC USA is based on the .220 Russian cartridge case, which is necked down to .22 caliber. It uses a small primer and a relatively large amount of powder, which allows it to achieve high velocities while maintaining low levels of recoil.
The cartridge has become popular among benchrest shooters due to its accuracy and consistency, and it is capable of producing sub-MOA groups at 100 yards. It is also sometimes used for varmint hunting, although it is not as popular for this purpose as some other cartridges such as the .22-250 or .223 Remington.
Because the .22 PPC USA was developed specifically for benchrest shooting, it may not be as widely available as other cartridges, and rifles chambered for it may be less common. However, for those who are interested in precision shooting or competing in benchrest matches, the .22 PPC USA remains a popular and effective choice.
