22LR Ammo
.22 Long Rifle ammo is an extremely popular, versatile, and cost-effective rimfire cartridge suitable for varmint and small game hunting as well as competition and casual target shooting. Though not powerful enough for self-defense, it has helped many new shooters and CCW holders train in the fundamentals of firearm proficiency in part because you can fire bulk quantities at cheap prices.
.22LR cartridges typically come in two major varieties: subsonic "standard velocity" loads and supersonic "high velocity" loads. Standard velocity ammo typically fires a 40 grain bullet at a muzzle velocity of around 1,000 feet per second. "SV" ammo's avoidance of the sound barrier makes it ideal for suppressors and enhances close-range accuracy, an important benefit for match shooting. High velocity ammunition fires the same 40 grain bullet (or sometimes a lighter one) at a muzzle velocity of 1,200 feet per second and produces flatter trajectories and better terminal performance against game; it is also the preferred load for many semi-automatic firearms as it cycles their actions more reliably.
Most ammo manufacturers produce at least one .22 LR load; hollow points are obviously best suited for hunting, while basic lead nose bullets are used for target shooting. The bullets are typically plated with copper or covered in a variety of coatings to reduce lead fouling. Notable rimfire specialists include ELEY, which is a favorite of many competitive shooters, and CCI, which manufactures the famously reliable Mini-Mag as well as a wide variety of hunting and target shooting loads in every velocity and projectile category.

Punch squirrels out of trees. Teach porcupines that needles aren’t welcome on your property. Give crows a real reason to wear black! It’s all in a day’s work for this ultra-velocity 22 LR ammunition from Idaho.
That’s right. This is bona fide ultra-velocity ammunition, which pushes its 40 grain bullet to a muzzle velocity of 1,435 fps – without exceeding SAAMI pressure specs. Such a fast-moving bullet really hauls downrange, exhibiting the flat trajectory that simplifies long-range aiming in the process. The bullet’s superior momentum also enables it to hit hard: over 150 ft lbs striking energy at 25 yards. Ka-BLAM!
The copper-plated hollow point bullet doesn’t just sink deeply into its unfortunate target. It is also built to undergo terminal expansion, which is why it reliably inflicts a wound column that is significantly wider than 0.22” in diameter. The CPHP is securely nestled in the mouth of a primo brass case, with one of CCI’s own outstanding rimfire primers just behind it. A swell choice for any gun! -

A CCI Stinger round puts all its chips on velocity. Its 32 grain bullet is 20% lighter than average. Its resultant low inertia means that it hits a scorching fast 1,640 fps muzzle velocity. The bullet’s trajectory is flat as a fritter (0.084 G1 BC), and it stays supersonic until about 85 yards.
This hyper-velocity cartridge’s bullet is a copper-plated hollow point. It minimizes barrel fouling and spells certain death to any varmint that experiences its fast terminal expansion firsthand. This ammo’s brass cases are nickel-plated to ensure smoother feeding and extraction in semi-auto firearms, and CCI’s rimfire primers are supremely reliable. -
