Find In-Stock 5.6x50R Ammo From Top Retailers
The 5.6x52R Ammo High-Powers relatively high velocity for the time and "shocking" power led to an initial surge of popularity. It was attributed with almost magical killing powers even on the long and dangerous soft-skinned game such as tigers.
The Savage .22 Hi-Power, 5.6x50 Rimmed ammo had a brief period of popularity near the beginning of the 20th century, as it was marketed as a deer and varmint cartridge. Although it did not maintain popularity in America, it remains popular in Europe today.
It was designed to be used in the Savage Model 99 hammerless lever-action rifle. It is based upon the .25-35 Winchester cartridge necked down to accept a .227in/.228in diameter bullet. Its original loading was a 70-grain soft point bullet with a velocity of about 2790 feet per second.
