Winchester Ammunition Announces New 21 Sharp Cartridge

The 21 Sharp cartridge is an evolution in rimfire technology and performance. Winchester engineering expertise is at the core of the 21 Sharp design, built from the ground up for enhanced accuracy and on-target performance. The 21 Sharp eliminates the bullet heel step, a feature that has limited the famous 22 LR rimfire cartridge.

This new cartridge allows for a wide range of bullet types, including full metal jacket, copper matrix, and plated lead options. Jacketed hollow point bullets will also be available in 21 Sharp, delivering expansion and energy transfer unlike anything offered in 22 LR. Additionally, the cartridge design is a purposeful consideration for lead-free projectiles.
