Ballistic Gel Test

Ballistic gel test for 22 LR - 40 gr LRN - CCI Standard Velocity - 500 Rounds

Image showing CCI .22 Long Rifle (LR) 40 Grain rounds fired into ballistic gel

Ballistics Test Summary

Ballistic gelatin testing is one of the best methods we have available today for predicting the real-world performance of self-defense ammunition. We’ve used Clear Ballistics synthetic gelatin to test over 150 handgun loads, including CCI 40 Grain. We fired 5 rounds into the gel with a four-layer cloth barrier to determine whether heavy clothing would affect the penetration and expansion characteristics of the bullet. All rounds were fired from a S&W 43C to reflect the type of short barreled compact pistols that are most commonly carried by legally armed citizens.

Above, you can find photos of the actual bullets suspended in the test medium. Images of the recovered bullets are below on the left and high-speed footage of the first bullet fired into the gel is below on the right. All of the data we collected from our test of CCI 40 Grain is in the chart below that along with diagrams that might give you an idea of how this load compares to other .22 Long Rifle (LR) products.

If you want to see the rest of our ballistic gel test results, all of that data is available in our handy interactive charts at Lucky Gunner Labs.

Q: I just purchased a S&W ar15 22lr. I would like to know what make ammo would be the best for it.

Posted On: 6/23/2022 By: Anthony

A: Thanks for reaching out Anthony! CCI makes my absolute favorite rimfire ammo for any semi-auto. They do make an awesome load specifically for AR-platform 22 LR firearms, which we currently have in stock by the case and the box:

luckygunner.com/22-lr-40-grain-cprn-cci-ar-tactical-3000-rounds

That's my highest recommendation for an AR-22, but keep in mind that the CPRN bullet does not expand and is better for target shooting than varmint hunting. If you'd like something a little more economical, then I highly recommend Aguila ammo loaded with copper-plated bullets. Here's Aguila's target ammo:

And here's a selection of their varmint hunting ammo:

Q: Hi there, I just ordered a Ruger SR 22 pistol and was told CCI is the best ammo to use in it, especially for break in and I will be only target shooting. What should I be looking for to use other than 22 LR and I see some CCI 22lr is also labeled LRN ? Please point me in the right direction. Thanks, Rich

A: Hi Rich. Congrats on a great little pistol! It is just hard to beat a Ruger. The entire CCI line up of .22 ammo pretty much sets the bar for performance. You know that .22 pistols can be fussy eaters, but I cannot remember the last time someone had a problem with CCI ammo feeding well. I think you will be well served to stay with the CCI Mini-Mags as they are a great shooting round, and very reliable. I almost never shoot LRN (Lead Round Nose) ammo as I find the copper plated rounds are much cleaner (CPRN or CPHP). Once your pistol is well broke in, try some lower velocity rounds to see just how tight you (and your new gun) can get! Give me a shout at 800-317-9506 if you have any further questions. https://www.luckygunner.com/cci-22-lr-ammo-for-sale-22lr36cphpccimm-100 https://www.luckygunner.com/22-lr-40-gr-cprn-0030-cci-100-round
