Anyone use them? Two of my .22’s don’t like stingers and looking for something with more pop than a mini mag.


For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

My two bone-stock 10/22s and my Marlin 60 really like 40gr round nose Standard Velocity and Mini Mags. With Velocitors, the accuracy isn't nearly as good. May just be my lousy shooting!

A Democracy is when two wolves and a lamb vote on the dinner menu. That is why this country was specifically not designed as a Democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic.

My Remington hates Stingers as well but loves both the CCI 40-grain Velocitor and 36-grain "Varmint" version of the Mini-Mag. CCI also offers a 40-grain "Target" version of their Mini-Mag. In terms of rated velocity, Stingers tip the scale at over 1600 fps, as compared to the 36-grain Varmint (1260) and 40-grain Target (1235) Mini-Mag loads. The 40-grain Velocitor comes in at 1435 fps, putting it squarely between the Mini-Mag and Stinger.

When you compare them by appearance alone, 32-grain Stingers look somewhat like a 27-grain 22 Short bullet atop a 22 Long Rife casing, which no doubt accounts for their higher velocity rating. Still, some folks say Stingers shoot great in their rifles.

Without doing all the math while taking into consideration a load needed for taking small game, the heavier and somewhat faster Velocitor seems hard to beat if your rifle likes them.

CCI also offers a 40-grain "Target" version of their Mini-Mag. They stick "target" on something just to grab gullible people like you that thinks it must be "better" minimags. They aint!, it is just marketing!

Why don't you just stop trying to act like you know WTF you are talking about when all you are doing is cutting and pasting BS!

Nothing I have or have ever owned preferred ammo faster than mini-mags. My Marlins shoot best with standard velocity and the rest shoot best around 1100-1200 FPS.


Pass the gravy.
