.224 WBY MAG AMMO
.224 WBY MAG Ammo For Sale- Trusted Ammo Vendors Available
.224 Weatherby Magnum is a sporting cartridge that was developed in 1963 by Roy Weatherby after about 10 years of development.
It is a proprietary cartridge with no major firearms manufacturers chambering rifles for it other than Weatherby.
Performance is similar to the popular .22-250 and the lesser-used .225 Winchester putting it in between the .220 Swift and .223 Remington cartridges.
Possibly because of the similar performance and popularity of the .22-250, this round has never gotten a huge following. Costs for ammunition and rifles for this round also tend to be much more expensive.
.22 caliber rifles are legal in some areas for a big game up to the size of deer or larger. Convention holds the .224 Weatherby, and similar cartridges are better suited to long-range varminting. Similar statements are made concerning other "big" 22 caliber cartridges like the .220 Swift and .223 WSSM.
