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 ...
In 1975, CCI engineers completed development of the first "hyper-velocity" .22 Long Rifle ammunition. This ammunition became known as the "CCI Stinger." [7] In early 2020, CCI introduced 14 new products. [8] CCI/Speer sells the Gold Dot line, component bullets, and handgun ammunition using a bonded copper-plated hollow point bullet.
The standard velocity .22 short launches a 29-grain (1.9 g) bullet at 1,045 feet per second (319 m/s) with 70 ft·lbf (95 J) of energy from a 22 in (559 mm) rifle barrel and can penetrate 2 inches (51 mm) of soft pine. [1] As a hunting round, the high velocity hollow point Short is useful only for small game such as tree squirrels and rabbits.

The .22 long is a variety of .22 caliber (5.6 mm) rimfire ammunition. The .22 long is the second-oldest of the surviving rimfire cartridges, dating back to 1871, when it was loaded with a 29 gr (1.9 g) bullet and 5 gr (0.32 g) of black powder , 25% more than the .22 short on which it was based.
These new "High Velocity" loadings offered a nearly 300 ft/s (91 m/s) increase in velocity over the original 1,050 ft/s (320 m/s) .22 LR load. [citation needed] This increase in power of the smaller round, coupled with its cheaper price and sheer number of rifles already owned in .22 LR, effectively killed the .22 WRF. [citation needed]
Rimfire ammunition is a type of metallic cartridge whose primer is located within a hollow circumferential rim protruding from the base of its casing. The most common rimfire cartridges are chambered for .17 caliber and .22 caliber. The bullet diameter for .17 caliber firearms generally measure .172 inch (4.37 mm), while the bullet diameter for ...
The CCI .22 CB Short and .22 CB Long use the same 29-grain bullet as the regular .22 Short and .22 Long. The CCI CB rounds have muzzle velocities of 720 feet per second (ft/s) for an impact energy of 33 foot/pounds (ft-lb). The standard .22 Short and .22 Long fire the same bullet weight at 1,045 ft/s for 70 ft-lb.
