The CCI Stinger 22LR pushes a 32-grain plated hollow point to 1640 feet per second — making it one of the fastest rimfire loads you can chamber in a standard .22 Long Rifle firearm. That velocity translates to 191 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, enough to expand on squirrels, rabbits, and pest species at distances where bulk-pack plinking ammo falls flat. CCI engineers this load with a longer case and faster-burning powder, delivering hyper-velocity performance without requiring a magnum chamber. If you’re hunting small game in mixed timber or controlling varmints around the property, this is the rimfire round that bridges the gap between plinking and centerfire performance.
Performance at a Glance
The 32-grain plated hollow point design balances penetration and expansion — the copper plating reduces fouling in your barrel, while the hollow cavity opens reliably on soft tissue at supersonic impact velocities. CCI manufactures this ammunition in the United States with non-corrosive primers and clean-burning propellant, so you’re not scrubbing heavy carbon deposits after a hundred-round range session. Expect consistent ignition in bolt-action rifles, semi-automatic pistols, and lever-action carbines chambered in .22 LR.

Fifty-round boxes are DOT-regulated for shipping. This load exceeds standard-velocity .22 LR by more than 400 fps, so you’ll hear the supersonic crack downrange and see flatter trajectories on targets past 50 yards.

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.
- Follow the four rules of firearm safety at all times — treat every firearm as if it is loaded, never point at anything you are not willing to destroy, keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire, and be certain of your target and what is beyond it.
- Verify current state and local laws governing ammunition purchase, possession, and transport in your jurisdiction before ordering.
- This product contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm — wash hands after handling and avoid inhaling discharge residue at indoor ranges.
