    The Stinger is an excellent explosive round and was the first of its kind from CCI. I use these with great results in my Ruger MKII slab side scopes for varmint hunting and they never fail me. The extra punch works the action much better than the “bulk ammo and burns much cleaner than ANY other round from the other ammo manufactures. A bit more money per box, but it makes it up in the performance department. CAUTION: don’t expect many trophy photos with this round as they may look more like crime scene photos then pictures for the hunting memory album!!

    This is excellent ammo. It is very accurate in my model 60 and my Romanian trainer. It is by far the best ammo that I have used for jackrabbits and ground squirrels.

    Excellent ammo!!! Shoots dime sized groups out of my Anschutz 64 target rifle at 50 yds. Pretty nasty as a hunting round on small game. Makes quick clean kills. If you have rodent or varmint problems, as I did, this is the cartridge for you. Not trying to gross anyone out, these rounds will literally cut an animal in half!!! A nice high velocity bullet, Good stuff!!!

    This ammo is very flat shooting and extremely accurate. In my opinion CCI makes the cleanest shooting ammo there is. After 200 Mini Mags and 50 Velociters, could hardly tell the gun had been fired when cleaning the barrel, action had residue but very little. This ammo is worth every penny if your varminting.

    If you are a predator hunter and dont have a gun designed for that purpose, take the .22 out of the cabinet. If you use cci stingers , you will have the accuracy and knockdown power to take coyotes and foxes with a regular .22 long rifle. They are very durable (they come in a bluish see through container and if you carry them in there while you are hunting they would get damaged. ) when you feed them into the gun it dosent nick or scratch them if the gun is clean. If you dont take long shots (out to 50 yards is fine) and you shoot off of a rest of some sort, these will take coyote after coyote. I shot a 32 pound female at about 30 yards last winter through the lungs with them and killed her instantly. Just make sure that you sight them in before hunting with them because they shoot different than regular .22 bullets.

    I have been hunting small game with my Savage .22 for six years now, and this is by far the best squirrel round that I have seen to date. Does a lot of damage, but if the shot is placed properly, stops the animal faster than any .22LR load I've used.

    This .22 round's overall perfomance beats out even a number of larger caliber center fire rounds. A shot fired into a quart sized, water filled milk container yields a more explosive/ devastating affect than a .38 special wadcutter. Five shot accuracy out to even 75 yards under ideal conditions is just at a 1 inch group with my old Marlin and would no doubt be even better using a more expensive match grade barrel. Using it for a hunting round might not be the best idea as this round tends to shred more of the eatable meat than most people would like compaired to a round nosed solid bullet; but if all you wish is to eliminate a pesty rodent, you can't do any better using any other 22 long rifle round. Using it on an animal 30 pounds or greater may work, but most ranchers I have talked to remark it as inhumane to use so small a round for that & usually refer to a good high velocity center fire round for that scale of game. But, for ground squirrels & larger rodents, stingers are explosive/bone breaking devastators.

    I've been using this stinger ammo for around 25 years in different rifles and pistols, nylon 66, Ruger 10/22, Winchester lever action, and most recently in my Ruger mark III hunter both with 4x scopes and plain sights. I was always very pleased with the accuracy and I remember only 2 duds in all these years and 1000's of rounds. I keep my guns and magazines very clean so I never had any trouble with accuracy or feeding. If you are hunting for meat then aim for the head or lungs because these rounds do tear up a little more meat than you'd expect. I keep my Ruger Mark III as a short range bedroom gun and as a backup. I have hunted with it for quite a while using the stingers. I don’t want to use anything else except for the CCI stingers. I have taken smaller wild and not wild pigs up to 100 pounds with well aimed closer shots up to 50 yards behind the ear, dropping them in their tracks. I wont go into the pig yard without my Ruger mark III and my stingers handy. The slaughterhouse I use only uses stingers too, right between the eyes. My stingers go with me every time I go check the mailbox, we have a wild dog problem here. Some gun actions can't take the longer cases and that's fine. But if you keep your guns clean and well maintained I never had one otherwise suffer accuracy or performance with a stinger. I did have problems, as expected, when I fouled my barrel one time with cheap ammo and then tried to fire the high velocity stinger. Naturally the fouled grooves likely didn’t provide the proper twist or barrel exit. Do your part and the stinger will do it's part.

    If your gun will shoot this ammo you won't shoot anything else. If it doesn’t, it's not the ammo's fault. I shoot Rattlesnakes with this round and it sure makes a big hole.

    Excellent in an old Mossberg bolt action rifle. Have killed many red squirrels with brain shots. It just punches a clean little hole clear through causing instant death. With this rifle and Stingers killed a groundhog at 125 paces with a brain shot. I had flushed him into his hole on the way in and caught him sleeping on the way out. He didn't even flinch. Works well in a Browning Buckmark with a BSA dot sight. With 20 yd zero bullet strike at 180 yds is approx two dots down. Kicks like a K-38 with standard loads. Five shots hurt my ears. With this gun and load have dispatched numerous trapped animals, all quick and clean. Blew clear through a large coon in a live trap and put a large dent in the pan. I switched to high velocity shorts then for dispatching. From a pistol this load is "the bomb" for bull frogs and of course green frogs. Down through the back or head for an instant kill and quarter size exit wound. I do not carry high velocity ammo in the field any more except for squirrels in heavy foliage. I have a separate rifle for that (requires a separate zero) and LR solids.

    I have used many types of .22 LR ammo like Winchester, Remington, Federal and CCI Stinger, and so far the stinger has been the most accurate, reliable, loud, and powerful of them all. I highly recommend this for hunting things like small game and coyotes. These bullets have amazing knockdown power, I shot a bird with these and it dropped instantly. These are by far the best of the best!

    The Stinger is a very good varmint/pest round as well as one that'll reach out and touch 'em at longer ranges. Causes too much damage to be a good small game getter, in my opinion. In my experience, it's best in bolt actions. My semiautos have struggled in feeding it, probably because of the longer case length.

    The performance of this ammo is nothing short of AMAZING! I have my rifle sighted in at 30 yards with standard velocity ammo for squirrel hunting, I was shooting with one of my friends and he told me to take a shot at a starling ranged at 96 yards I aimed at the top of the birds head and hit it in the middle of the neck, I turned and looked to see him shaking his head in amazement and simply said that’s Stingers for ya! I took my first turkey with them, the exit hole in its neck was huge, they make a mess of ground hogs head's, and tear squirrels apart (I only take head shots now). I’ll never hunt with anything but them from now on.

    I've been shooting Stingers out of various rimfire weapons for about 30 years now. My cousin turned me onto them back in 1977; and I've been using them ever since. I've never had a hang-up, miss-fire, or a jam with a Stinger!! And I mostly shot Stingers out of either an old, old Monkey Wards Western Field bolt-action .22 rifle {family heirloom}; or a Ruger 10/22 and a Ruger Mark Two pistol. I recently purchased a GSG-5; which is a .22LR version of the Heckler & Koch MP-5/HK-94. I fired 3 boxes {150 rounds} of Stingers through this new gun; and both the ammo & weapon performed flawlessly!! Rapid-fire groups at 75 yards were quite impressive!! And this ammo has been sitting in a safe for about the past 10 years, also!! My opinion would be to buy as much of this ammo as you can afford; and put it away. If I was going to use a .22 for self-defense/bedroom gun; I would prefer a Ruger Mark Two loaded with Stingers!! What would be really cool is if Hornady could make a .22 LR into a TAP round!!

    Excellent ammo, fast and accurate out to 100 yards out of my marlin 25n. Great hunting ammo, huge wound channels and I’m going to try it for coyotes and I expect it will perform well. Wear hearing protection when shooting these loads as they are louder than my .223

    Moderately-good hyper-velocity ammunition. Packs a bit more of a wallop than regular high-velocity bulk ammo, but is somewhat less accurate. I was getting 1-inch groups at 50 yards with CCI Blazer bulk ammo, but 3-inch groups with the Stingers. Make sure to re-zero your sights before shooting Stingers, as they "rise" a bit more than other rounds. The casing of the Stingers is also slightly longer than the casing of other .22LR's (though the smaller bullet keeps the overall cartridge the same length). This may cause problems with match-grade chambers, so stick with Velocitors in those chambers. Never used it for hunting, but it seemed to pack enough of a punch to deal with small game.

    Great ammo for hunting at long range. Its got great knock down power for groundhogs and it's really fast, almost like a 22 Mag. CCI Stingers and Remington Yellow Jackets are the two best hunting rounds you can buy. It completely destroys the inside of a groundhog when it hits. I've cleaned them and there isn't anything left on the inside of the groundhog. The very best you can get.

    I have a Colt .22 Target pistol with a holo-sight, which I use for target practice both in and outdoors. I have to say that the STINGERS are really great fun... I really love the "blitz" (muzzle flash) they give when fired from my pistol. And the sound and recoil is also great... :-) Good for outdoors use with a long distance to the target. One evening when I was shooting at the local gun club, I used stingers at the 15 and 25 meters indoor range, and I found that they hit the targets a bit higher than the ammo I usually use. And some of the other shooters who were shooting their .22 weapons came over and asked me what kind of ammo I used, and they all got ahold of Stingers since that day... I’ve also tried the .22 SHOTSHELLS. Great fun... :-) And pretty effective at close range. Great for rats... I only wish my local ammo shop had some for my .357 MAG, but since I live in DENMARK (in Europe), a lot of the funny and exciting things is very hard to get, and the price is often pretty high... :-(

    This is, by far, one of the most effective 22LR rounds ever created for hunting. It's perfect on game the size of jackrabbits, fox, woodchuck, etc. BUT...in my experience it underperforms in accuracy. I have four 22 rifles: Rem 541T, Mossberg 144 (heavy barreled target rifle), a 10/22 and a Marlin single shot youth gun. In all four of them its groups are 2-3 times larger than most standard velocity rounds. My point is to try this out in your rifle first before going out to the field with it. It shoots to a very different point of impact than standard 22 ammo so you must re-sight your scope. In my 10/22 it really smacks the bolt back, which may be an issue in the long run so I confine its use to the bolt guns.

Even if hunting, I'd like first shot to be humane and accurate - which these are not. But they are VERY fast!

    Terminal performance is nothing short of spectacular. However, these will not eject from my Rem. 597 due to the longer than normal cases. Accuracy is poor, they group about twice as large as most high velocity ammo. Out of a snubbie with a 2-5/8" barrel they made a big white muzzle flash and a fierce bang but chronographed only about 800fps, about 100fps slower than federal high velocity 40gr solids. They are good however at killing gophers and other burrowing varmints at close range. Due to the massive tissue damage they cause (at rifle velocity) varmints don't get a chance to flee into their burrows even if not hit perfectly.

    This is the only ammo I've ever used where I experienced a kB! Haven’t used it since the receiver explosion. Up until that point it fired somewhat consistently, not very good accuracy. I believe Green Mountain makes barrels specifically for this round and that may be your best chance to get some use from these.
