what is the best CCI AMMO? -accuracy test 50 meters- target RUGER 10/22 

CCI Standard Velocity “Target” is all I shoot.. I have 4 22 lr firearms.. 1 rifle (Tippman Arms M4 Elite), and 3 handguns (Smith and Wesson Model 41 Performance Center) (Sig Sauer P322) Ruger Mark II Target 6” Stainless Bull Barrel)… All love this ammo and thankfully it’s also the least expensive CCI!!

Just subbed, bro... Keep up the good work. I like seeing regular guys, like me, doing tests on RU-vid.

Thanks for your video, informative and helpful.

I just sighted in my old single shot, heavy barrel Schultz & Larsen rifle with the 710fps... It shoots consistently two inch groups at 80 meters... 15 shots within 3 minutes, all within the two inch circle... Bolt action is the way to go 😉😉😉

Always dope your scope/rifle to the ammo being used. Dope one for stingers, other for mini mags, etc.

It really goes to show how you need to test several different kinds of ammunition in your specific rifle. Of all the ammunition that you tried in your Ruger 10/22, my heavy barreled Remington 597 does the best with the Standard velocity (with similar results to yours), followed by the Mini Mags at a very close second place. My 16” barrel HATED Stingers; I could barely get 10 rounds to stay on an 8.5x11” sheet of loose leaf paper at 50 yards. I was disappointed and happy at the same time: disappointed because I like the idea of the speed that the stingers offer, but happy that the mini mags did better because they are cheaper to buy than the stingers are. Haha. If I’m doing a competition or plinking, I use the standard velocity, but when I hunt small game, I swap over to the mini mags. I keep both anyways because my Sig 1911.22 lr cycles mini mags better than the SV 😉👍🏼

Sweet shooting. I'm actually looking for a good accurate cci bullet. The more I look into them the more I see the Standard Velocity is the best.

Dude I shoot my 10/22 standard Takedown barrel this good with Winchester 555 bulk ammo, Backwards, through a mirror. Just wanted to swing it with some of the other guys in this video thread. My range is only 25 yards, they're very strict on gun handling and I go through a whole bunch of shooting when I get there so honest results with tired fingers aren't realiable. I do know three things for sure. 1. You are showing what CCI ammo works well in your barrel and hopefully, a tried and trued barrel with plenty of rounds through it to ensure its all worn in well. 2. Even with bulk ammo, the majority of the center of my targets are worn out. Jeest ignore that one up by the carriage clamp, nobody was supposed to be looking then anyways, and all them other "flyers". 3. My STNKIN range is closing on October 16th, 2020. Died of friggin effects of Covid economy. At my local gunstore, they have the bulk ammo out on a skid for us plinkers. That good good CCI stuff, well everything but minimags, are behind the shelf with the other rifle rounds. I'm cheap, I admit it. But it's more accurate, fun and less work then my 22 caliber break barrel springer pellet gun. Keep on shooting. Oh, and that mirror shot, I was doing it between my legs too.

I’m about to test a load of CCI’s too. Let’s see if I get the same results. Great review.

CCI Green tag gives me the best overall average groupings, compared to any other CCI ammo. This is from 5 very nice .22’s and weeks of testing.

I find the best grouping with my CZ 452 comes from subsonic rounds regardless of the manufacturer. It is true that different guns prefer different types of ammo; mine likes Winchester 40 grain subsonics the best. The problem with accuracy of high velocity rounds is caused by the transition of the bullet from supersonic to subsonic speed. I also find that cleaning the barrel infrequently is best to maintain a "lead lining" which seems to help.

Sort of off topic but I use CCI Green Tag with very pleasing results in my Ruger MK II slab side competition target pistol, (Volquartsen hammer and sear). From a rest it will shoot less than 1 inch all day at 20 metres. I consider that to be very good.

Look forward to next video witg a clean rifle

thanks!

Results@15:49.

you should try them at 100 meters and you should get the savage mark 2 with bull barrle grate vid man keep it up

I carry a Ruger 10/22 charger with a 10 inch barrel and my groups at that range with the mini mag are way tighter so odd.

Velocitors are my favorite. It actually gives you a little bit of recoil which is nice.

CCI standard for accuracy on all bolt action (great forcz455). Mini mags for all semiautos. Go on high speed only if you wanna use them for pest control. High speed will push your rifle away from accuracy, always.

I found that I have to re-zero my sights for each different type of ammo. My favorite for all around accuracy and consistency is the CCI Mini Mag Copper Plated 40 gr round nose at 1235 fps. The faster rounds always shoot higher and faster doesn't always mean better. For example, like those crazy CCI Quik-Shok Ammunition 22 Long Rifle 32 Grain Plated Lead Hollow Points seem sexy but they you have to zero the gun just for them and they don't group that well. Just too hot.

For cci quiet you should've try "cci quiet 835 feet per second, 45 grain " , they work perfectly out of my ruger 10/22 ,22inch barrel

Lots of people swear by the standard velocity CCI's. I've never bought them. Sounds like I need to try them!

I found the best accuracy with those CCI Standard velocity rounds out of both a Marlin M60 and High Standard Supermatic Citation pistols. Marlin M60 was made by new Remington group but was still accurate as my older JM Marlin. I have a Ruger 10-22 but haven't tried them in it. Maybe that would be a good idea. That CCI standard velocity has beat everything else I've put thru my guns. Some other brands of "Match" ammo really was disappointing.

Those groups are well within Ruger's accuracy standard. They wouldn't accept my Ruger American Rimfire back for service because my group size was within their standards. They weren't within mine. I am used to my Marlins and Savage.

I know this is 4 years old but 10/22s are known for not having great accuracy :D

I get a tight group with the standard barrel using the cci 36 grain

Have you did any trigger work on your 10/22? If not, mine was over 5lbs pull. I filed on the sear and hammer, and got it down to 1.5lbs, just like my Marlin... It's an easy mod. Just make sure you do it a little at a time, then check it. I bet I put my trigger group back together 25 times, but it was worth it. Good trigger makes a big difference.

Yeah I found out the "Quiet" don't run in semi auto's very well, at all...

I really not after tact accuracy and prefer reliability more, so I stick to cci mini mag. Good tests.

After a lot of research and videos and my own tests you might want to put a pressure pad under your barrel, free floated Ruger barrels are not consistent. I’ve sold my target model and bought the Ruger Performance Competition Model, it is free floated but it has two contact connections between stock and receiver. It also has a better chamber which makes better groups. By adding the pressure pad and torquing the one contact screw to 30 inch pounds your target model will do much better. Thanks for your testing.

Get the 17" Green Mountain or 17" FJ Fedderson barrels. A guy with a 77/22 shot Mini Mags and all hit on one hole.

I've had great results from the CCI Standard Velocity 40 grain. Tight groups at 50 yards and I've pushed them out to 200 yards, hitting a 6" steel plate, nine times, using a Savage Mk.2 21" heavy barrel.

This week I had similar results from my Ruger 10/22 with standard factory barrell, mini mags were all over the place in a random 10 inch group, then I switched to Stingers and was able to put all 10 rounds through a hole the size of a 2 euro coin. Multiple times over. I guess some rifles just like certain types of ammo. It's a shame though because over here in Ireland a box of 100 mini mags cost 15-17 Euro but stingers are roughly €15 for box of 50 rounds.

Sub sonic out! It's not reliable. Standard is the best. It is quiet. Reliable. and Accurate. But less power comparing with high velocity.

Have you done any ammo comparisons at 100 meters ?

Velocitor is my favorite cci for semi auto pistols

You are aware there's another type of CCI mini mag round, right? The 40 grain LRN version? The 36 grain HP mini mags have given me similar results as yours; not all that precise. While you're at it, you should also test out some other ammunition makes, such as Browning (the stuff I swear by), the Remington thunderbolt you mentioned, and possibly some federal (both the regukar federal brand high velocity and the American eagle hollow points). Would make for interesting comparison.

though i dont find minimags to be nearly as accurate as SV, ive never seen anything even remotely close to as bad as that group. That thing really hates those MMs

Ruger 10/22 "International" Sight - in, CCI 40g RN next is the HP 36g, SV 40g rn, Aguila 40g RN. Finally Norma 40g RN. F A M but you got to weigh them, 100 rounds a 1.1 grain difference from lightest to heaviest. Middle is 51.6 gn, these will land one on top of the other. Light ones hit low and to the right, the heavy ones hit hit and left.

Buy yourself a stock Marlin, bro. Your groups will shrink by a mile. My Marlin 881 bolt action is a bad ass!!! It's stock, except for I got my trigger down to 1.5lbs.

Take out the flyers? Do you also stack the deck when playing poker? Instead, shoot 4 shots at the dirt before addressing the target. That seasons the barrel for the round.

The CCI Green Tag is supposed to be their most accurate target ammo. Funny, it has the exact same specs as the Std Velocity but at 3X the price. I've tested them both and have seen zero difference. Ammo's under 1125 fps always seem to be much more accurate in my 10/22 with a 16.5" Kidd barrel. You can check out my comparisons on my channel.

My 20 year old TC R55 Benchmark groups half that MOA @100 yards using Geco semi auto ammo...I hope my wife's target 10/22 is ok with Standards! Good video though, thanks

What do you have for a barrel on your 1022? If that is a match barrel I don't think you are suppose to shoot stingers through it. the casings on the stingers are longer.

Is that big bull barrel heating up? It looks like your flyers start after firing several rounds.

Just bought a Ruger Precision Rimfire in 22LR and it shoots about the same at 100 yards but still not what I expect out of a rifle touted as a “precision” with bull barrel . I get 3 to 5” groups at 100 yards with different ammo.

What about the cci blazer ? I've seen that they shoot pretty good.

My old Mossberg bolt action always shot best with CCI Blazer ammo. At 50 yds. I always ended up with one ragged hole for a 5 shot group. The next best ammo, some expensive target ammo, would barely get a quarter sized group.

You may have said so in the video, but which Mini Mags are you shooting? The 40g round nose, or the 36g HP?

@12:05 you drew a face with bullet holes haha

Its funny that people call shots they pull as a "flyer" lol. A flyer is a round that's off from the group due to an ammo problem, light charge, a bullet wight thats off or something like that.

CCI Suppressor 45 grain ammo gives the best accuracy results for me. I'm not a 22lr fan in general. I prefer the 22 wmr. It's tremendously more useful. It can run 30 grain @ 2300, 40 @ 2000 & 45 grain WRF ammo for reduced loads when needed.

I have never seen a 22 shoot mini mags that bad if that is a Ruger bull barrel there's seriously something wrong with that thing shoot a group that big. next time probably need to take a brush and run it through there between each loads, may have been getting some lead buildup.

if my pellet rifle shot like this at 75yards i would burn it

I have the same problem with minimag cphp the 40 gr cprn shoot much better, My favorite CCI is the AR 40gr cprn 1200 fps all of my semi auto guns love them

Segmented is fast and dumps all energy in your target, does not pass through as often as other bullets.

What scope and magnification? You should be able to get better groups at 5o yards.

I got a bunch of mini mags after hearing they work great in a henry 22 but they suck compared to some sub sonics I got. Since 22 is hard to find right now I'm thinking of selling the unshot remainder of them secondhand because the accuracy is so bad I may as well just throw pebbles at the target.

It's really not about which ammo groups the best, it's about which ammo groups the best out of "your" rifle. I've shot dime size groups out of my .22 and then a shit group with the same ammo out of a different rifle.

The scope is moving. The thread of the scope is loosened out. Apply some blue Locktite on the thread.

Those standard velocity are subsonic, also. According to Wikipedia, the speed of sound is 1,126fps...

nice video but your not doing cci any favors with what appears to be a RARE 10/22 lemon.

You should try out the Tcr22 from Thompson Center.

You should have zeroed your scope for the CCI Stinger or Velocitor at 50 yards.

Not impressive results; I have a half dozen 22s, all shoo groups 1/2 the size of these or better, none are expensive guns. Must be the rifle or the shooter.

try some CCI, green tag

I have ruger.22 long range and it doesn’t like any CCi ammunition

Love 1022 , have 3 .. not for precision shooting . Cz 453 will do that for me.....

My Marlin 881 makes those groups look silly. My 10/22 is a joke too. Don't feel bad. I never shoot it. Unless I just wanna do some rapid fire drills. I put a cheap red dot on it. No need to waste a scope on it. lol

You need to update your CCI .22 ammo list. They have a 40gr. 1470 fps at the top of the list.

Lead 40 grain only.

All subs and even Fiocchi subs at 933 Festival cycle flawlessly on my takedown10 22

I’ve got an ammo comparison coming out at 100 yards.... 50 rounds at each 6” target. About 12 different ammo types. I also have a 50 year old Marlin with a $40 scope that out shoots my new Ruger Precision Rimfire in 22LR ..... really disappointed in Ruger.

On a good day my 10-22T will give my Anschutz a run for its money.

First Ruger I’ve seen that didnt like MINIMAGs! Blazers were a surprise. My MKII does better with MINIMAGs, sub 1/2” groups of 10 at 50 yards.

Did you install any parts to it or is it all Ruger ?

In general compared to other video's same set-up same ammo's, groups are no where near as good,. I'm questioning the barrel, is it clean enough, is the rifling getting fowled with build up , 1/16 twist, could be not getting enough spin on the bullet that would account lost of accuracy. Something is going on here .

Supersonic 22lr is not good for groups past 50 yards, once their velocity dips below the speed of sound they destabilise

Around 5:53 of video the scope was deffinatly loose you can see it move

velociters???

Every different amo will hits different spot. Best use only the same all the time.

The very best CCI bullet is the AR Tactical.

It's not the ammo, it's the shooter.

I shot a .001" group the other day, after taking out all of the "flyers". Damn, I'm good!!!! LOL

Get some CCI Green Tag Competition ammo and you will be surprised, not cheap but definitely the best CCI sells.

Thanks for this video bro. Im sighting my 10/22 in today and was wondering what the most accurate cci ammo is. Im getting ready to hunt some tree rats aka squrill. And i want to get head shots to save the meat.

I get far better groups with CCI 36 grain cphp out of my Henry H001 lever gun at 100 yrs. Approximately 2.5 inch and I have tremors in both hands.

My brand new carbine 10/22 is junk, too. Not very accurate, and won't cycle anything except CCI. My Marlins blow it away...

I shoot a marlin 60,, just your average stock Marlin & by comparison,, I'd throw the rifle you're using away, I've done enough of the same type testing & either it's your rifle,, or I have a jewel of a 22 ✌️

..you don't want to shoot stingers through the target barrel, the tolerance is too tight and could damage the chamber.

If accuracy is what you're looking for, don't shoot copper plated or washed ammo from a 22 Lr.

Avoid dry firing a rimfire

Read your book that came with your factory target stingers not recommended for your gun

I think buying a shotgun is a good idea for that groups

I have never owned a 22 that shot that bad

How is target shooting with a 22 fun?

anything should stack at fifty

Man, Go out and buy a MARLIN Model-925. That damn Ruger don’t like any ammo.

I hope you sold that that !

if you wanted to use a 22lr semi auto for accuracy the 10-22 is not the rifle the Marlin Model 60 will flat out shot a 10-22 !
