From the manufacturer:

Protection should always be personal. Built for how you carry. Crafted for how you defend. Sized to match any shooter. CCI® Uppercut™ answers that call with power and performance traditional 22 Long Rifle ammunition has never been able to deliver. The difference lies in its exclusive 32-grain projectile. Unlike the simple lead round nose or copper-plated hollow points typical of most rimfire ammunition, Uppercut's jacketed hollow point bullet features nose skiving that initiates full and reliable expansion through semi-automatic handguns with 2.5- to 4-inch barrels,

I'd like to see this compared to CCI Velocitors.

Velocitors seem to be the hardest hitting 22LR round to date.

If this just explodes like Stingers then it's not even comparable... Stingers are great for tiny animal hunting but if you actually had to defend yourself.. and 22LR was all you had, the Velocitor's penetration wins every time.

Banana Balistics shot a couple in an unrelated test but the results are excellent. The bullet expands like a bonded centerfire bullet.

Looks like the opposite end of the spectrum to velocitors (1435 fps) or stingers (1640 fps).

Lower velocity should mean less fragmentation/explosion.

Not sure if any 22lr qualifies as a ‘Defense’ round though, unless the squirrels are getting particularly aggressive…

I think in that video comparison of all 3 out of a rifle the vellocity was around 1330 fps for the uppercuts with the longer barrel. The box stamped velocity is with a 4 inch barrel as the target market is for people carrying .22lr pistols for defence. The copper jacketed(not plated) bullets expand nicely at around 900 fps and in the test with the rifle the expansion petals were separating at the speed and distance he was shooting at.
