Why .22 LR is ideal for high-volume training

.22 LR offers low recoil, minimal muzzle blast, and very affordable ammunition pricing, which makes it the go-to choice for high round count training sessions. The FN 502 MRD [FDE] is built to accept many load types, so you can tune your practice to different bullet weights and brands without breaking the bank. Using a rimfire for fundamentals — sight alignment, trigger control, and follow-through — transfers directly to centerfire platforms when ergonomics and controls mirror their duty counterparts.
