New CCI 22 Stangers. No, not Stingers, STANGERS.

[Big Frank]

After I saw 22plinkster's video, I went and ordered some of these CCI 22 Stangers. Target Sports USA was the first place I found with a decent price and they have them in stock. Some other places wanted $2-$4 or more per box, whether they had any in stock or not. I never bought from these guys before, but I wanted to make sure I got some before they're all gone. I don't know if they're just making one run of these or not, but I don't think they'll be a regular item for long. You never know. Make sure you don't shoot these or Remington Yellow Jackets, etc. in a Bentz chamber. The end of longer case will enter the rifling and raise the pressure beyond safe levels when you fire.

I hope my Walmart has them. I?ll buy some just for laughs

Looks like something you might make a buck on someday. 

Other than the packaging...I don't see any difference in the Stinger vs. Stanger....did I miss something.

I prefer their 22LR Segmented hollow points 32 grain @ 1,640 fps like the Stinger but breaks into 3 pieces while expanding....

I?ve never run across those segmenting rounds. I?ll check them out

[Rastus]

Oh heck yeah you have to check them out.  They are also available in a wicked subsonic round.  CCI has 5 or so subsonic rounds so you have to be careful sorting those out or you can get a regular lead head....ask me how I know.  They also have like around 750 fps and then like 1020 fps...to make up the 5 or so types.  I'm not exact on the fps but you get the idea.

Doing some homework right now. I?m intrigued. Just picked a browning buckmark camper as a companion piece. It?s time to pop cans and crack some charms blow pops

Segmented CCI's: https://www.midwayusa.com/rimfire-ammunition/br?cid=7547&targetLocation=%2F_%2FN-7547%2B4294966708%2B4294930661%3FNp%3D2%26Nr%3DAND%2528p_visible%253A1%252Ccustomertypeid%253A1%2529%26Nrpp%3D24%26Ns%3Dp_metric_sales_velocity%257C1%26Ntpc%3D1%26Ntpr%3D1&customerSelectedSort=False

Watch out...that first subsonic on the left is only 710 FPS and the next one is 1050 FPS.  I didn't know they had a Maxi-Mag at 1,235 FPS...I have the Quik Shot, like the Stinger/Stanger, at 1,640 FPS

I bet it is the best anti-personnel round you can get in 22LR.

I bought 5 boxes of the 22 Stangers in case my brothers or friends want a box. I want to keep one unopened box in my ammo collection and may or may not shoot up whatever else I have. I haven't heard or seen it mentioned anywhere, but the headstamp on the Stangers is a number 22 instead of a letter C like all the other CCI rimfire ammo I've seen.

I bought 2 boxes of segmented .22 LR ammo a few years before CCI started making it under their own name. It was called Quik-Shok MPB and was made by Blount, Inc. for Magnum Performance Ballistics (MPB) on un-plated C.C.I. Stinger cases. I still have 1 completely full box that I wrote the date 4-98 across the front of when I bought them. Here are links to what my old pre-CCI brand Quik-Shok looks like. And the CCI Quik-Shok, before they put it in modern packaging and started calling it the Segmented HP. MPB was the same company that made Poly-Shok shotgun shells. Polywad still makes Quik-Shok 12 ga. slugs.

Triton ammo was making ceterfire Quik-Shok segmenting ammo and Super Vel for awhile so I bought some of both in .45 ACP. Super Vel is in production again by the way. Their .45 ACP +P 185 gr JHP with 544 ft/lbs ME has my interest. You could look in the hollowpoint of the Quik-Shok and the core looked like it was 3 segments in one jacket, but it was actually joined at the center as a single piece. I shot a one gallon milk jug with water in it with a Quik-Shok.45 ACP +P bullet and it had 3 holes in the back with a lot of damage caused by the 572 ft-lbs ME. They also made it in .450 SMC with the same bullet at 770 ft-lbs ME. Yowza!

The .450 SMC (Small Magnum Cartridge) is based on .45 Super brass with small-primer pockets to use small-rifle primers. It has slightly higher than .45 Super pressures and had primer-flow problems before switching primer sizes. Double Tap makes ammo for the .450 SMC and the case is the same length as a .45 ACP. If you have a .45 ACP Government Model size 1911 with a +P rating, all you need to do is put a 20-22 pound recoil spring in it. If you have a full-size Glock .45 ACP just put a 21-23 pound spring in it and you're ready to go.
