CCI (Cascade Cartridge Inc.), based in Lewiston, Idaho, manufactures rimfire ammunition, centerfire handgun ammunition, and primers for reloaders and industrial ammunition production. CCI made the first mini-mag rimfire ammunition in 1963, and in 1975 developed the Stinger, a high velocity .22 Long Rifle product.
GemTech, Subsonic .22LR ammunition. In 2011, Gemtech developed their own line of subsonic .22 Long Rifle ammunition optimized for use with sound suppressors. Kel Whelan, working with Brett Olin of CCI Ammunition came up with a round utilizing a unique 42 grain bullet and travelling at 1050 feet per second.
The CCI Stinger was the first hyper-velocity .22 LR cartridge and provided a significant increase in velocity and energy over standard rimfire rounds. The Stinger case is slightly longer at .702 in (17.8 mm) versus .613 in (15.6 mm) for the long rifle case, but the plated hollow point bullet is lighter and shorter at 32 gr (2.1 g), giving the ...
Subsonic ammunitions are ammunitions designed to operate at velocities below the speed of sound (Mach 1), which at standard conditions is 340.29 m/s (1,116.4 ft/s). This avoids the supersonic shockwave or "crack" of a supersonic bullet, which, particularly for suppressed firearms, influences the loudness of the shot.
Some young Americans had a tough time finding a job last year. Companies were slow to hire in 2024 as workers quit their jobs less frequently, according to government data — a far cry from the ...
Today, .22 LR (.22 Long Rifle) accounts for the vast majority of all rimfire ammunition produced. Standard .22 LR rounds use an essentially pure lead bullet plated with a typical 95% copper, 5% zinc combination. These are offered in supersonic and subsonic types, as well as target shooting, plinking, and hunting versions. These cartridges are ...
Young girls have long been a vulnerable group. But in the past few years, alarming trends have been witnessed that need to be swiftly addressed by families, communities, and society as a whole.
Left: .17HM2, right: .22 LR. Since the .17 HM2 is based on the .22 LR, converting most bolt action firearms chambered in .22 LR to .17 HM2 requires only a barrel change. The higher pressure makes conversion of semi-automatic firearms more difficult, as virtually all are blowback designs that are sensitive to pressure changes. Conversion kits ...
