• Precision Engineering

• Unmatched Versatility

CCI® Stinger® .22 LR 32-Grain Ammunition stands out as a top choice for various shooting applications. For hunting, it’s the number one option for predator control in the rimfire category, delivering the speed and energy needed for effective takedowns. In recreational shooting, it offers an exciting experience with a loud “crack” and visible muzzle flash, making it especially fun for ringing steel targets. Additionally, it serves as a great training round, helping shooters learn to compensate for wind drift at distances beyond 100 yards—an essential skill for improving long-range rimfire accuracy

Why Stingers Outperform Competitors?

CCI Stinger .22 LR ammunition offers impressive performance with a velocity of 1,640 FPS, significantly outperforming standard .22 LR rounds that typically reach 1,200 FPS. While the cost per round ranges from 0.15 to 0.25, it still delivers exceptional value compared to the .22 Magnum, which costs between 0.30 and 0.50 per round. The Stinger’s light recoil makes it an excellent choice for high-volume shooting, offering near .22 Magnum-level energy at a fraction of the cost. In contrast, the .22 Magnum provides maximum power but comes with moderate recoil, making it more suitable for those requiring higher energy for specific applications. For budget-conscious shooters seeking hyper-speed performance, the CCI Stinger is the ideal choice. To learn more about our mission and values, visit our About Us page.

FAQs

Will Stingers cycle in my Ruger 10/22?

Ethical range for coyotes?

75 yards max (requires chest/head shots).

Better than .22 WMR for raccoons?

Yes – More affordable with similar terminal effects at close range.

Do copper-plated bullets really reduce fouling?

Yes! Expect 50% less lead buildup vs. unplated rounds
