CCI Stinger was the first hyper velocity 22 Long Rifle load, and it is still the round many small game hunters and pest control shooters reach for. This listing is CCI Stinger 22 LR 32 grain copper-plated hollow point ammo, MPN 0050, sold as 500 rounds for squirrels, rabbits, and nuisance animals.
CCI rates this load at 1,640 fps with 191 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, far faster than standard high velocity 22 LR. Stinger achieves that speed with a light 32 grain bullet and a slightly longer case filled with a special powder. The copper-plated hollow point expands quickly, delivering more energy to small game and pests. The high velocity also flattens trajectory over typical rimfire distances. It is a hunting and pest control load, and it is noticeably louder than standard 22 LR.
This ammunition fits rifles and handguns chambered in 22 Long Rifle, including the Ruger 10/22, Marlin 795, Savage Mark II, CZ 457, Henry lever actions, Ruger Mark IV, Smith and Wesson M&P 15-22, and many revolvers. A common question is whether Stinger is safe in any 22 LR firearm. CCI says it works in most, but some tight match chambers can be sensitive to the longer case, so check your manual and test a few rounds. Another common question is whether Stinger cycles semi-autos better. Its higher power usually helps reliability in semi-automatic rifles and pistols.
CCI 0050 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA by CCI in Lewiston, Idaho. Each round is non-corrosive and uses a rimfire brass case that is not reloadable. This listing ships as 10 boxes of 50 rounds for a total of 500 rounds from one lot. Keep a few boxes in the truck or barn for quick pest control, and the rest stored cool and dry for the season ahead. A brick of 500 also gives you plenty to confirm zero, since hyper velocity ammunition often prints differently than standard 22 LR.
