22lr Hyper Velocity Ammo Comparison 

Simple answer: 1) Stingers are a 32 grain bullet, not really a fair comparison for the 40 grain projectiles in this presentation. 2) Someone sent me some hyper .22 ammo with light bullets. I'll use stingers as a basis of comparison for those in the near future.

I'd also like to send you some federal punch 22lr ammo.

One reason might be taking the distance your intended targets might be into consideration. When the projectile slows down to become transonic it can greatly affect accuracy. So much so, I've seen tests that prove subsonic .22LR is more accurate than the supersonic stuff when you move targets out. So if a person really wants to shoot 40 gr, then getting above 1300 (if you can) would let you shoot targets out to perhaps ~50-60 yards before dipping below the speed-of-sound and affecting accuracy.

@@PaulHarrell I have no idea where they get the 1640fps claimed on the box of the cci stinger. People seem to get more in the 1400s range

@@PaulHarrell There's a new Norma .22LR ammo out there, too, with a pretty impressive "claimed" velocity, Norma Eco-Speed, with a 24 grain projectile and a claimed velocity of 1706 fps on the box.

Your English is very impressive for a non-native speaker.

Hi Facundo! I totally agree with your comments!! I'm also one of Paul's followers from Argentina... Thanks Paul for you videos!!

Hi from Francarctica 😅

​@@Mister_Belvidere Hi Mister Belvidere! Many of us down here in Argentina have very good levels in foreign languages... Also, for many people here (as for myself) it was a must as we work or worked for multinational companies (HP in my case)

Well said.

It's nice to have a .22 to go back to , after you break a shoulder with the .725 T-rex super magnum round. Eventually you might need something that's still legal in NY state.

Dudes be spending $1/round to shoot .300 blk.

The .22 is the round that is in the most homes and can be put to good use

@@joemama69448 you are correct, unless I'm mistaken in Virginia 223 isn't legal for deer

.22 has put more meat on the table yada yada ya

I thought I was seeing things. Lol

Good catch, that was awesome!

@@ryanlong4021 same!

Saw that too. Pretty cool when it happens.

That was pretty cool. At 3:16, the fourth shot seems to not hit. I'm assuming it went right through another hole, but I have watched it a few times and don't see any deflection of the target for the fourth shot. If the pattern had been wider, or closer to the edge, I'd say it missed. But where they are hitting, I'd have to assume it went through a previous hole. Anyone see it?

May I ask what rifle was used? Curious if it was a Ruger 10/22

@@the_weed_in_your_garden9319 S&W M&P 15-22 rifle. It was equipped with a shake awake red dot I zeroed for her and a weapon light.

@@cameronnorton5898 interesting. Thank you for the information. Good work. You saved a life

I have always maintained that a good .22lr rifle or pistol is ok for self defense if the right ammo is used. I myself have had the same thing happen. I gave a young woman some CCI STINGERS to keep in her 4" Taurus 9 shot .22lr pistol and she did wind up using it for self defense and it let her aslant laying right where she put 6 rounds in him. Truth be told, he was gone after 3 rounds center mass but she did as instructed and put the rounds on him till she thought the threat was over.

I was thinking the exact same thing

Don't forget that some 22s like some ammo more than others. I have a PWS summit that only loves Eley FML lol

Aguila is good ammo, usually at an economical price and shoots the best groups through my Marlin and Ruger bolt action rifles. Very consistent in my tests.

i noticed the consistency. I was hoping he'd give us some deviation analysis too

Sounds like a topic for Paul - does velocity consistency correlate with accuracy? I think velocity consistency is necessary for accuracy, but certainly does not guarantee it. All barrels are different.

@King Of Crunk face it, we're nerds. i embraced it long ago.

Have been impressed by CCI's consistency before (can't think of the right word). Have seen many velocity tests and gel tests that show how consistent they really are. They're definitely a high quality round. (edit: and a very reliable round).

The biden regime aint having it.

For me I have never had on not go bang. With the Winchester I have about 82-85% chance of it going bang.

The pistol sounds nice, just got a Heritage convertable.

I typically use the Mini Mags too, mostly because they are reliable and I can get them almost anywhere.

@george2113 The Heritage is a popular choice, and you can’t beat the price. Paul did a video on the Heritage several months back. Mine is a 1972 3 screw in really good condition, and I couldn't pass it up.

Paul can even tell you what kind of gun powder just by the burnt smell

1050 is the barrier of sub/supersonic

That one slow one sounded like a CO2 cartridge running low.

@@Hammerback0 Depends on environmental factors and altitude/atmospheric pressure. Higher in high temperature, high humidity, low altitude/high atmospheric pressure.

Yeah, just like advertised MPG!

Thanks for the tip, I'll keep the ammo in an inside pocket.

@@george2113 Don’t kill the messenger of facts. You may not like them, but it’s the truth & you should do your own testing of the ammunition you buy to know how it reacts in certain conditions to fully understand what it’s capable of compared to the optimal conditions being advertised.

Usually 24" or 26" barrels.

Dont try this at home im what you call a professional

that's a good idea. espicially with small game cartridges. I'd like to see a .223 using those hollowpoint predator rounds

Is there an affordable quality 22mag rifle?

@@george2113 Depends on what kind of rifle you want. 22 magnum semi-automatic is not impossible but it's kinda difficult to get right due to the nature of 22 magnum cartridges. Ruger used to make a 10-22 Magnum but I think it's long gone. Savage makes the A22 Magnum with some kind of delayed blowback semi-auto action, but I couldn't tell you how reliable it is. There are also some oddballs such as the CMR-30. Most people already have some kind of opinion about Keltec's quality, and that might include you. No judgement, like what you like. 22 magnum lever actions range from what some would call cheap junk Rossi up to what some would call overpriced Henry. Some would also call Henry "you get what you pay for, so buy once cry once" and some would call the Rossi "good enough for most needs and affordable for most people" so obviously your mileage and judgement may vary. If you aren't looking for any kind of yeehaw rapid fire action, just a good plinker or varmint gun, the world of bolt actions is probably where you want to be. You can get a no-frills basic 22mag bolt gun for a few hundred bucks like the Ruger American Rimfire that is as accurate and reliable as you'd ever need, or you can spend a few hundred more and get a fancy tacticool version like the Ruger Precision Rimfire. Again no judgement here, get whatever fits your needs and makes you smile. Some other companies that make good affordable 22mag rifles are Savage and CZ, and I'm sure there are others. Either way, boltguns are probably the best place to get good quality 22 Magnum shooting without turning your wallet inside out. EDIT: seems like Rossi isn't making lever action 22WMR anymore according to their website, but they might still be floating around on the market. They do have semi-autos now. I guess I'm a little behind the times. Again I can't tell you how good they are personally, so look up some reviews. RU-vid is a great resource for finding out which guns are worth the money.

@@george2113 If you mean a semi-auto: CZ 512 is available both in .22 lr and .22 WMR.

It’s been discontinued. Good luck finding one. If you do, the a-hole dealer wants $800 and up for one. Ugh….used car dealers are less swarmy than gun dealers.

False. Paul is indeed correct

Game show buzzer sound. False. Strawberry shakes are, indeed, the worst of all the shakes. We would have taken: Chocolate, Vanilla, Peanut Butter, Banana.

​@@harperhellems3648 you are drinking trash if you think vanilla shakes are better than strawberry shakes 🍓

@@timd729 Depends if its real or flavoring. I love some with real strawberries but the artifical ones taste like chemicals.

@@joehill4094 I agree, good thing is most strawberry shakes in fast food places use real strawberries. Blended smooth without being chunky, that hits the spot in the summer heat.

I like their 22 ammo, so far it's reliable and has been great in my firearms.

You know why the funky smell, right? It's the white stuff, gives the bullet a little extra

My only issue with Aguila was in a bulk pack I ordered online the ammo had a weird waxy coating on it. No issue with the 50round boxes or any other Aguila I've ever shot.

The funky smell is from its priming, known as "Eley priming".

Have to agree on the weird-smelling primers. Picked up some for my pistol, which didn't like it. Semi-auto and it's finicky. Going to try the remainder in my rifle. The price is right. Just need to find a firearm that will eat it reliably.

All of our .22s are happy to munch on Minimags. I prefer Stingers, but they're a bit pricey. They do, however, really give my pistol's slide the hard smack it needs to cycle well.

Aguila is top notch pills

Freedom Seeds baby!

Welcome to the world of advertising. Our only honest numbers come from Paul

Check out our three part presentation on accurate handgun shooting.

@@PaulHarrell After watching the videos you suggested multiple times and practicing the modified weaver seems to work pretty good. With that being said I have a lot of practice ahead of me, however my shot placement improved quite a bit once I setup properly. Thank you again once again, Todd P.S. As a relatively new firearm owner I appreciate “your dawn of time explanations”.

The Yellowjackets are still around and still fun to shoot.

Name was cool and it was cool ammo. Highly effective on ground squirrels/Jack rabbits. It's hard to find these days, but still cool ammo. We have presentations on it.

Put a binary trigger in it. Trust me.

I like Norma, seems good in every caliber we have...the tac22 ammo easily equal to the cci standard velocity...

I had the same thought myself.

CCI Copper-22 is faster than anything I've tested - 1825fps in a 25" barrel - 1625fps in 18.5".

​@@ausgixxerpilot That is pretty fast.

He was testing the ammo that was sent to him.

Lack of sensationalizing and goofy cold opens. He's the best kept secret in GunTube. 🤫

It’s my go to for 300-400 yard shots.

​@@stevennewman4778 sure.

@@stevennewman4778 I usually use it for 800 meter shots too, so I see what you're saying. Perfect for long range squirrel hunting.

Excellent ammo been using it for 20 years

@@mattmarzula There are plenty of people that shoot to 500yds with 22LR with magnified optics. The channel Guns&Cars has several videos doing that. 300-400yds with *magnified optics* is not hard to do with .22LR

I had a toaster strudel hangover myself.

Yeah, I don't know why the ammo companies don't pay $15.00hr for hundreds of people to inspect every single round along the line...oh wait, I personally would last about one day on that job...

Bad guys may or may not know they were hit if shot with a .22, but they will know they've been shot if they were hit by bullets fired from a 1911.

After watching various target shooting vids, the targets always look farther away than described. The camera affect always screws up distance perception.

@@empireoflizards Yeah, I know. But Paul's chrono seems waay farther away. It actually freaks me out a little. I wouldn't be surprised if it was 30 yards away, as much of a stud as Paul is. One of his videos (I don't recall which) his point of aim was so consistent while firing that he actually took down a pine tree in the background.

@@g54b95 Yeah, the pine tree falling was hilarious and pretty cool too.

If only something existed where you could just type in something you want to see, select a video, and watch it... He's got about a half dozen of them.

oh heck yeah.

@@mattmarzula using a rifle?

Send him the ammo, and he may do it.

Strawberry all day!

Mixup98 has a video showing the crap reliability he had with at least two different batches of Federal Automatch. Edit: He didn't shoot it for exacting accuracy.

@@Salieri47 Good to know. I didnt test for reliability.

My 10/22 groups well with winchester white box. Haven't tried Federal.

​@@donaldmack2307 I'm thinking a bolt or lever rifle (does anyone still shoot pump/slide action rifles?) with a solid firing pin strike would be less finicky with the Automatch. IIRC Mixup98 shot only semi-autos. But every gun can perform differently.

Color me surprised. I’ve heard more complaints about Federal Automatch than probably anything else.

Fuck the constitution, I'ma carry anyway

His channel growth seemed to slow down noticeably after about 700,000.

@@Salieri47 I agree, but I'm sure itll continue. Especially with as much gun safety he preaches. If everyone in the USA learn from Paul, things would be much better

Different barrels will produce different velocities (we have a presentation on that). Your difference in velocity is more likely from the barrel design than the factor of bolt vs. semi auto. there are videos in this format demonstrating this.

Better yet get an AR with an adjustable gas block. Close the block off to make it a bolt action so the barrel is removed as an independent variable.
