What type of game do you hunt with the CCI stingers. ANd do you use hollow or solid tip.

I have only one gun that shoots them well.I shoot the hollow points.I use them [and this gun ] mainly for ground squirels.They dig under my driveway and chew my phone lines. After about the third time we had the phone co repair guy out, the wife sugested that I shoot them.[first time shes ever approved of my shooting.] The last box of ammo I started keeping track of misses.At this time theres 16 left in the box and 5 misses marked on the lid.that makes 29 dead .Not bad for just my front drive. I have a solid porch rail to shoot from and only can safley shoot 40 yds[into a dirt bank.]I havent been shooting much lately, because the grass is too long. But thats about to change. its time to mow down the weeds before fire season.

hoghunter2,

I use the hollow(penta) point Stingers in all my .22lr rifles when hunting. I use them for tree squirrels, rabbits(brush bunnies where safe) and other critter I would use a rimfire on. They are one of the more accurate cartridges in my rifles. Lawdog

I have had just the opposite experiance with Stingers as Lawdog. I have never had a rifle that shoots them well enough to hunt rabbits with. We are currently hunting with Velocitors. I get sub 1" groups at 25 yards in my daughter's 10/22, and they are devastating on rabbits. Head shots only.

You guys could always go with the Green Moutain "stinger chambered barrel" for that 10/22 I might see about buying one soon as I get all my other gun projects complete :wink:

I use stingers in my Ruger MK II Standard for coyotes, and fox here in the hardwoods of Kentucky. A lot of people have trouble with the hyper velocities spreading out of pattern but not me in in the above stated pistol, I do have a govt. model Ruger and it shoots em like crap...I have also taken my share of rabbits and tree rats also...not too long ago I shot a yote right at 64 yards with my Ruger MKII 4 3/4" Standard with a CCI Stinger and other than turning a few quick circles he dropped like a fly. I have only used hollow points myself but I have been using them for YEARS.

The only other 22 I hunt with is the Remington 22 Target and I use these when I am strictly hunting small game only...these have very minimum, if any, shock/meat damage

I don't know why CCI even came out with Velocitors when they already had a good high velocity round available for cheaper(CCI Mini-Mags)my :money:
