- The .22 Picra is also known as the 5.6x25mmR, a rimmed centerfire cartridge designed in Austria in the late 19th century. It was used in a variety of pistols and revolvers in Europe, but it never gained widespread popularity and has since become obsolete.The cartridge used a .22 caliber bullet and had a case length of 25mm (or 0.98 inches). It was originally designed for use in self-defense firearms and police revolvers, but it was later used in target pistols as well.The .22 Picra was never widely adopted and has since been replaced by more modern cartridges such as the .22 Long Rifle and .22 Magnum. Today, it is mostly of historical interest and collectors of antique firearms may seek out firearms chambered for this cartridge.
