Question for CCI rimfire fans
This evening I took a walk with the 9422 and shot three young cotton tails, I used CCI segmented sub sonic 40GR HP on two and an Eley sub sonic HP on the other.
Now the two hit with the segmented bullets were a grizzly sight, eyes popped out and brains blown out of the back of their skulls. The one hit by the Eley was DRT but nowhere near the damage as the other two. ( I didn't take photos as I thought Barry wouldn't like me posting them)
I have had the same results on squirrels, the CCI leave nothing for the pot.
QUESTION: Has anyone used the CCI segmented 32GR HP
It has the same ballistics as the Stinger so I'm thinking it may be a devastating round (for a .22 LR) on Foxes.

Re: Question for CCI rimfire fans
g k,
I haven't used them at all. Actually I didn't even know they existed.
That segmented bullet sounds just the ticket for small varmint and pest control. Definitely not for hunting though.
Now I'll have to find some and see how they work from my 9422.

Re: Question for CCI rimfire fans
Joe, they are just the job for nailing varmints you don't want for the pot!
I'm going to see if I can find any of the HV ones over here.

I use CCI solids for everything .22 I plan to keep, just for the reason that the HPs leave such a mess.
Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.
History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

The CCI segmented bullets virtually explode into three pieces, blood and guts everywhere!FWiedner wrote:I use CCI solids for everything .22 I plan to keep, just for the reason that the HPs leave such a mess.

Re: Question for CCI rimfire fans
Right out of the CCI catalog:
SEGMENTED HOLLOW-POINT
The segmented hollow-point and its unique design gives varmint hunters excellent performance.
As you see here (picture of three pieces) this bullet breaks up into three parts on impact. Each
one acts like its own projectile and creates a distinct wound channel to bring your target down
hard. This bullet is ideal when you want maximum damage on impact.

Could you post a picture of the box of the segmented rounds? Like Joe, I didn't know they existed.
Thanks!

I have not seen them on the shelves in Australia- now I will have to look- I think they will work better than Winchester subsonic

I'm really interested to know how good the HV ones are? The sub sonics are devastating on small critters.

Very interesting GK, how do they group out your gun?

Re: Question for CCI rimfire fans
Nath, I haven't tried them on paper, I only bought 100 rds to try out and just shot a few pieces of chalk about 2" diameter at about 55yds, the chalk turned to dust so I kept the rest for squirrels and rabbits.
The squirrels were completely gutted and the rabbits looked like I'd used a .22 Hornet. all one shot kills. I'm impressed with the stopping power but not much good if you want to eat what you shoot.
Of course head shots only should be taken but my 62 year old eyes and open sights don't work like they used too..

Re: Question for CCI rimfire fans
They look like an effective round for the otherwise marginal .22 LR cartridge - I'm surprised the Alpha-Goon agencies in the U.S. haven't banned them on some pretext or other...

Re: Question for CCI rimfire fans
I did wonder if they would be of value to anyone who only has a .22 for self defence, they may not penetrate heavy clothing without breaking into three pieces perhaps?AJMD429 wrote:They look like an effective round for the otherwise marginal .22 LR cartridge - I'm surprised the Alpha-Goon agencies in the U.S. haven't banned them on some pretext or other...

Re: Question for CCI rimfire fans
Never used the 32gr segmented, but have taken crow, armadillo, squirrel, rabbit, raccoon, and gopher with CCI Stingers.
Most shots were 25-50yds (with the exception of a few crows) head shots from a scoped 10-22. The destruction wasn't too bad, but still more than when using solids.
Never saw a need for much else. For comparison, shot a few with Mini Mag HPs and have to say vermin react a bit more with the Stingers and at further range when hit. All were DRT, but the Stingers generally leave no doubt as to a hit.

Re: Question for CCI rimfire fans
I carry a few Stingers in case I see a Fox when I'm hunting Rabbits,(not that I would have time to reload my 9422) but I would like to compare them to the HV segmented CCI, for both accuracy and knock down.meanc wrote:Never used the 32gr segmented, but have taken crow, armadillo, squirrel, rabbit, raccoon, and gopher with CCI Stingers.
