The Lapua .22LR Scoremax is a legendary, out-of-production rimfire cartridge. Highly prized by hunters and competitive shooters, it was specifically engineered as an Olympic-grade, heavy sub-sonic round featuring a massive 48 grain solid-point bullet with a muzzle velocity of roughly 315 m/s (1033 fps).
Because this ammunition has been discontinued for several years, it has become a highly sought-after collector’s item. Its legacy is defined by a few specific performance metrics:
- Heavy Weight: The 48 gr bullet provided excellent, deep penetration for small game and larger varmints.
- Subsonic Stability: Because it traveled just below the speed of sound, it bypassed the transonic turbulence that destabilizes many standard rimfire rounds at distances of 100 yards and beyond.
- Wind Resistance: The combination of a heavy projectile and sub-315 m/s velocity resulted in a notably flat trajectory and low wind drift compared to standard 40 gr match rounds
