The CCI Standard Velocity 22LR pushes a 40 grain lead round nose projectile to 1070 feet per second — subsonic velocity that eliminates the accuracy-robbing transonic instability you get from high-velocity rimfire loads. At 102 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, this load delivers the same velocity profile as CCI Green Tag and Pistol Match ammunition but strips out the match-grade sorting to bring the per-round cost down where high-volume training budgets can absorb it. Rimfire ammunition remains the most economical centerfire alternative for fundamentals work — trigger control, sight alignment, follow-through — and CCI Standard Velocity gives you 500 rounds per case to build those skills without burning through your annual training allocation in a single weekend.
Performance at a Glance
CCI loads this round with clean-burning propellant that reduces fouling accumulation in semi-automatic actions. Blowback rimfire pistols and rifles run dirtier than centerfire gas systems because the entire case mouth vents combustion gases directly into the chamber and bolt face with no gas tube to redirect pressure. Standard Velocity’s cleaner powder formulation extends the interval between detail strips — you’ll log more trigger time between cleaning sessions, which matters when you’re working through a 500-round case in a single training block.

This ammunition is new production and non-corrosive. Ships as 10 boxes of 50 rounds each for a total case count of 500. Subsonic velocity rating makes it a natural pairing with suppressed rimfire platforms — you’ll avoid the first-round pop that high-velocity loads produce when the projectile breaks the sound barrier downrange. For additional CCI 22LR ammo options including higher-velocity hunting loads and match-grade target ammunition, reference the category index.
Safe Handling & Compliance
Federal law requires purchasers to be at least 18 years old for rifle and shotgun ammunition, and at least 21 for handgun ammunition. Ammunition cannot be shipped to certain states, counties, and cities — review our ammunition shipping restrictions before ordering. Store ammunition in a cool, dry location away from heat sources and out of reach of unauthorized users.
- Observe the four universal rules of firearms safety at all times — treat every firearm as if it is loaded, never point the muzzle at anything you are not willing to destroy, keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target and you have made the decision to fire, and be certain of your target and what lies beyond it.
- Verify that your firearm is chambered for 22 Long Rifle before loading this ammunition — consult your owner’s manual or contact the manufacturer if chamber markings are illegible.
- This product contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm — wash hands thoroughly after handling ammunition and avoid creating lead dust during cleanup operations.
