22 Short – 29 Gr CPRN – CCI (0027) – 1000 Rounds

This 22 Short load (0027) delivers the kind of light recoil, low report, and dependable cycling that made the cartridge a staple for generations of target shooters. CCI loads it with a 29 grain copper-plated round nose bullet. The CPRN profile feeds smoothly in compatible firearms. It also helps reduce barrel fouling compared to bare lead bullets. As a result, shooters can spend more time shooting and less time scrubbing the bore.

CCI rates this load at 1,080 fps with 75 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. Therefore, it sits in a useful performance window for close-range target work and casual plinking. The 22 Short cartridge has never been about raw power. Instead, it shines through efficiency, minimal recoil, and quiet handling. That matters when shooters want precision without fatigue or excessive noise.

The copper-plated bullet helps this load stay cleaner over long sessions. Meanwhile, the light recoil impulse makes it ideal for beginners, vintage firearms, gallery guns, and shooters who simply enjoy classic rimfire cartridges. Many older rifles and revolvers chambered in 22 Short still run beautifully with quality ammunition like this. Consequently, the cartridge remains relevant even in a market dominated by newer rimfire designs.

Each box contains 100 rounds. Each case includes 10 boxes, totaling 1000 rounds. That bulk format makes sense for high-volume target shooting, training sessions, and long-term rimfire storage. CCI also has a strong reputation for consistent rimfire priming. That consistency matters because rimfire ammunition lives or dies by ignition quality.
