Frequently Asked Questions
Will this 22 Short ammunition cycle reliably in semi-automatic firearms?
CCI's 22 Short high-velocity load at 1,080 fps is designed to function reliably in semi-automatic pistols and rifles chambered specifically for 22 Short. However, not all semi-auto platforms cycle 22 Short reliably — firearms designed for 22 LR will not chamber this cartridge. Always verify your firearm's manual to confirm 22 Short compatibility before use.
How does the copper-plated bullet benefit performance compared to a lead round nose?
The copper plating on the bullet jacket helps reduce lead fouling inside the barrel, meaning less frequent cleaning and more consistent accuracy over a long shooting session. The harder outer surface also helps the bullet maintain its shape through the action of semi-automatic firearms, contributing to more reliable feeding and extraction compared to bare lead projectiles.
Is this CCI 22 Short load suitable for small-game hunting?
Yes, the 29-grain CPRN at 1,080 fps produces adequate energy and accuracy for small-game hunting at close to moderate ranges — typically squirrel, rabbit, and similar-sized animals. The round nose profile delivers solid terminal performance for clean, ethical kills on small game. Always check your local hunting regulations to confirm rimfire use is permitted in your area.
