cci stinger = 1640 fps baby! 32 grain copper plated hollow point.

I can't wait to try these out. What can I expect from them, and how will they compare to the bulk 40 grain winchester wildcat stuff that I've been using?

By the way I also got some 36 grain copper plated hollow point federals for my bulk stuff. Package says 1280 FPS... Any comments on these rounds?

Can't wait to try em out :rockOn:
 
I've been using Stingers for a long time for gopher shooting. They are very destructive, but usually not the most accurate round you'll find for your rifle. I like the little extra "zip" they have when pest shooting though, even if they are a little more expensive than "regular" ammo.
 
As for cycling wise there's a huge difference when using stingers. My 10/22 is like butter when I use em compared to anything else.
 
I like shooting the Stingers & Quik Shocks thru my 64b, I find they make it cycle better, accuracy is the only drawback, but aslong as you can achieve minute of gopher @50yds your laughing.
They're definately worth the extra cost.
 
Stingers shoot 4.5" groups out of my Toz78 at 25 meters and the chamber is a wee bit tight for them (makes for a very sticky bolt). For comparison the Toz78 shoots the bulk federal packs into .5" 5 shot groups at 50 meters using a bulk pack of ammo as a rifle rest... their destructive power is useless when you can not hit a gopher with them.
 
stingers are good but feds are better

Do not have the numbers in front of me, but I ran a series of tests with all the quick ones through a martini. Stingers are quick, but had better results with the federal hyper velocity and they grouped like a hot damm. My two bits.

Ps they cycle just fine through the 10/22 but there not so keen in the butler creek mags:canadaFlag:
 
stingers??

tried a box of them out with a couple of my .22's , didn't find them that accurate ,but very expensive , other choices I've tried are Remington " yellowjackets" with 33 gr., bullet ( truncated hollowpoint ) very fast (1500 f.p.s. ) and accurate , and I've tried some Federal " champion" 36 gr., bought these at canadian tire and won't hesiate to use them on groundhogs out to 100 yards, they also shot better than the stingers . good luck Joe.
 
With rifles, I've found Stingers to shoot about an inch above the point of aim, if the rifles in question were previously sighted with other hyper-velocity ammunition. I've always assumed this was due to the lighter bullet weight.
