This product is one of CCI's top performing rounds. It is loaded to match your shooting skills with the maximum amount of knock-down power available for a 22 LR. It is a cousin to the renowned "Stinger" ammunition but with a slightly heavier bullet designed for improved long-range ballistics performance.

Each lead hollow-point bullet is gilded (coated) with a thin copper plating to reduce muzzle build-up and to help the bullet retain its shape during feeding (into the chamber), flight, and to some degree, impact.

Ballistic Gel Test

Ballistics Test Summary

We test fired five rounds of .22 Long Rifle (LR) CCI 40 gr Velocitor CPHP into synthetic ballistic gelatin to observe its expansion and penetration characteristics. The ammo was fired from a S&W 43C pistol at a distance of 10 feet. A four-layer barrier of heavy fabric was placed in front of the gelatin to simulate clothing.

The complete data for this load from our test can be found on the chart below. The photo slider displays the expanded bullets that were retrieved from the gel. Pictured below is a high speed video that shows the bullet entering the gel at approximately 10,000 frames per second. The diagrams at the bottom of the page should give you an idea of how this load compares to other .22 Long Rifle (LR) loads.
