Customer Reviews - CCI Ammunition

Customer feedback on CCI ammunition is broadly positive, with many buyers highlighting its high reliability, consistent ignition, and minimal issues with feeding or extraction, even in finicky semi-auto pistols and rifles. Accuracy is widely mentioned as a strong point, with multiple users reporting good groupings in both target and hunting scenarios. Cleanliness is generally noted, especially with copper-plated variants, which tend to keep actions and barrels cleaner compared to other brands. While most consider CCI to be dependable and worth the price, some criticize its higher cost and mention recent price increases. Occasional criticisms include sporadic misfires or inconsistencies, particularly with certain lots or specific firearms, and limited cycling in some semi-autos with subsonic or low-velocity rounds. Overall, CCI is regarded as a top choice for .22 and rimfire ammunition.

Ran this ammo in a M&P 15-22 and a M&P compact 22 pistol. Both were suppressed with a Dead Air Mask. The cycling of the bolt and slide were louder than the round firing.

First off, if you have an auto-loader, I swear by these. The round nose keeps them from jamming, and the copper plating keeps the barrel clean.
These cycle great out of many magazine fed pistols and rifles such as a 10/22 and a 21a, and many more.
I dont much pay mind to the price because the tradeoff is so good knowing it will be clean and go bang nearly every time. I could probably count the number of FTF on my fingers.
Great product, great website, great company.

I plan on using these rounds for my CCMG conversion for my DDMK18 M4. It will allow me to train with my key defensive weapon at a price that is easy to live with. Therby improving my skills greatly. No Failure to Feed, no Failure to Fire. Easy to load, easy to use, accurate and the best for my sword (DDMK18). And Luckgunner gets them to me fast and at a super price. Better than any other online ammo supply sight. I order all my ammo from here.

I shoot on two pistol leagues and when I saw these on the Lucky Gunner site I jumped on it and ordered 1,000 rounds immediately. These 0032's are one of the few 22lrs that go through my High Standard Supermatic target gun without jamming. I couldn't find these to buy for two years. With competitive shoots and practice sessions, 1,000 rounds do not last long. I'll be buying more soon. I love this web site! Keep these in stock if possible.

FAQ

What is the CCI Stinger?
The CCI Stinger is the original hyper-velocity .22 LR round, introduced in 1977. Using a longer case (0.710" vs standard 0.613") with a 32-grain copper-plated hollow point, the Stinger achieves muzzle velocities of approximately 1,640 fps—significantly faster than standard velocity .22 LR at around 1,070 fps.
Why are CCI primers considered the best?
CCI primers are known for their consistent sensitivity and reliable ignition across temperature extremes. They use a carefully controlled priming compound formula and precise manufacturing tolerances. Many competitive shooters and handloaders specifically seek out CCI primers for their reliability.
What is CCI Quiet-22?
CCI Quiet-22 is a .22 LR load designed to reduce noise by approximately 75% compared to standard velocity rounds. Using a 40-grain lead round nose bullet at about 710 fps, it operates below the speed of sound, eliminating the supersonic crack. Ideal for backyard pest control or noise-sensitive areas.
