CCI Stinger 22 Plinkster Special Edition 32 Grain Plated Lead Hollow Point Ammo - Box of 100

The CCI Stinger 22 Plinkster Special Edition is a high-velocity rimfire round built for shooters who want real performance in a .22 Long Rifle cartridge. Named after the popular YouTube shooting personality, this special edition combines CCI's proven Stinger formula with distinctive packaging that celebrates the plinking and varmint-hunting community. Whether you're ringing steel at the range, controlling pests around the property, or hunting small game, these 32-grain hollow points deliver the speed and terminal performance you'd expect from CCI's hyper-velocity line—without the premium price tag of premium match ammo.

What sets Stinger apart is velocity. At 1640 feet per second, these rounds are significantly faster than standard .22 LR loads, which translates to flatter trajectories, quicker knockdown, and more reliable bullet expansion from the hollow point design. The plated lead construction keeps things economical while maintaining consistency shot to shot. Each box contains 100 rounds loaded to industry standard pressures, so they'll cycle reliably in semi-auto .22 rifles and handguns without causing excessive wear.

Stinger has earned its reputation in the rimfire world through dependable performance across thousands of range sessions and hunting trips. These aren't match-grade precision rounds—they're practical, no-nonsense ammo for serious trigger time. The 22plinkster branding reflects CCI's connection to the real-world shooters and content creators who have tested and validated these loads in actual use, not just on paper specs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will CCI Stinger work in my .22 rifle or handgun?

CCI Stinger is loaded in .22 Long Rifle, which is the standard cartridge for virtually all .22 rifles and handguns. However, always verify your firearm's chambering before loading. Some older or specialty .22s may be chambered in .22 Short or .22 WMR instead, which are not compatible.

What's the difference between Stinger and standard .22 LR ammo?

The primary difference is velocity. Stinger rounds travel at 1640 fps, which is significantly faster than standard .22 LR loads. This higher velocity produces a flatter trajectory, greater accuracy at distance, and more reliable bullet expansion from the hollow point design—making Stinger better suited for varmint control and small game hunting rather than casual plinking alone.

Is this ammo suitable for hunting small game and varmints?

Yes. The 32-grain hollow point design and high velocity make CCI Stinger effective for controlling pests and hunting small game like rabbits, squirrels, and prairie dogs. The hollow point bullet is designed to expand reliably at these velocities, improving terminal performance on small targets.

What does the 22plinkster Special Edition packaging mean?

This is a limited-edition box design created in partnership with the YouTube shooter known as 22plinkster. The ammunition itself uses the same proven CCI Stinger formula; the special packaging is the distinguishing feature. Performance and specs are identical to standard Stinger loads.
