Velocitor is more accurate than Stinger past 50 yards. At 100 yards, my group sizes are: Velocitor 3.4 inches, and Stinger 4.5 inches. BTW, MV for Velocitor 40 gr bullet is 1435 FPS with 183 Ft/Lbs; MV for Stinger 32 gr bullet is 1640 FPS with 191 Ft/Lbs. At 15 yards the energy becomes equal and after that Velocitor is higher.
1400’ish fps 40 grain is not to be underestimated. Basic physics. Heavier carries more smack down range. Carries more smack at any range, period. What sounds better in performance of .22lr ammo sting or smack? Stingers and other lightweight ammo are perfect for rodents and the like, if you can hit em. They don’t group that well on paper. None of the hyper velocity stuff does really. .22lr is just not a stable enough bullet.
Those Velocitors seem to have found the sweet spot between bullet weight ,construction and powder charge. They must be expanding perfectly without breaking up. Those are some big holes in and through!
All solid performers but I say you are right. I do have some Velocitors but only one box. If I can find some more, they will replace my Stingers for all of my .22 rifles and pistols.
We have 3 boxes, they stay in the stash...I can find a box on very rare occasion, whereas the stingers show up pretty regularly at the local shops...of course, we don't shoot too many of our stingers, but I could shoot a box and not feel terrible about it...
Are the stingers and velocitors accurate on the same zero? I’m about to stock up on both and it would be awesome if I could only zero one and both shoot accurately.
I have found the Velocitor to be more accurate than the Stingers, however the Stingers will function when the rifle is very dirty (maybe due to the nickel plated brass(?)).
My brother, thank you for the mention again- I'm planning a special video for you on my channel where I will return the favor. In regards to the results from this video- I think the block was a little compromised from that low shot on it. However, seeing the results being vastly superior compared to the others two tested, I concede and conclude that the velocitor does infact seem to be the better performer at 100 yards. Now I'm interested if this remains the case at 50 yards! When it cools down some here, I'm going to do the gel tests at 50 & 100 yards and see how these rounds perform in gel compared to one another at those distances, and hopefully retrieve the bullets as well. Thanks for the video and can't wait to see what you come up with next!
Thanks for watching! 50 yard tests are a good idea, just didn't have time for that this go around. Interested to see what you have in store for the ole Goober...🧐
I’ll have to agree with @GunsCars….I just watched a couple other videos that were testing different 22LR rounds and the Velocitor definitely under-performed in those tests. Now, that being said, I’m no clay/gel chemist, but there’s gotta be a difference in solids composition between the two….which is possibly why there’s such a drastic difference in the tests. Did anyone else notice the grooves that resembled rifling in the clay from the Velocitor? I thought that was pretty interesting. That projectile was spinning some fierce going through that clay. Did anyone see the same with the Stingers? Great channel….I’m subbed and will also go check out @GunsCars as well. Keep up the good work, guys! Thanks for doing these for our entertainment.
Very good video and glad to see a RU-vid that isn’t afraid to do follow ups. Been subbed for along time and I think your channel is very underrated. Also, do you think the velocitor can hold its own agasint some of the .22mag options? I’ve seen several video that they don’t expand at 100 very reliably
I still haven't find any dinosaur ammo. Be great to find even one pk before the summers over. You still have them Silver Tips & Copper 22? Also see if you can find them Winchester Varmint HE rds online. That be a video I'd like to see with the clay, cans, paper & velocity tests @50yds. Should shoot the Velocitors through all three blocks next time. (50yds)
Always happy to get on RU-vid and see you’ve posted something new! We’ve been doing a LOT of AR shooting at the “farm,” but I think this next trip is going to have at least a bit more focus on the .22’s. With my zeros, and the ballistics charts I’ve seen, I want to try a 200 yard shot….I think it will require a 3-foot high hold! I’ll also save more of the gel block for the .22’s. Don’t know when….it’s still super hot in Texas! Chris
once again great job. I don't question your results as I have seen them with my own eyes, but i will ask you to explain something to me. seems that most of the times when a high velocity hollow point bullet is fired into a test medium, no matter the caliber, the entry hole is smaller and the exit is much larger because the projectile has had a chance to expand. appears to be the opposite with these hyper 22lr rounds. how does this compute? now onto check out guns&cars
That's because the majority of the energy was dumped before the exit and the bullet is exiting at a much lower velocity and energy level... Depends on the round sometimes though. Also .22lr expands much quicker do to the lack of an actual (hard) bullet jacket.
thank you I have always had issues with stingers shooting all over the place and do understand why the Velocitor is better a heavier bullet travelling over 1400 fps. Great job Old Fat Dad!
Thanks for watching! That's a great question. Here's a comparison I did on that subject: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sTZO4xDiYVQ.html
You know as well as I do that the results in your previous test were the same as the one in this test and the one who called you out on it doesn't know his butt from a corn muffin! Good job putting this individual in their place.
