    Default CCI Stingers?

    I was running all kinds of ammo through my 15-22 on Sat to see what worked and what did not. I got my hands on some S&B HV and some Winchester Hyper Velocity. The Hypers grouped fantastically, the SB grouped well but way off POA.

    Then I hauled out my half box of Stingers left over from YEARS ago. Damn these thing cooked out of the 15-22. Over the chrony they were in excess of 1500fps. (I though I recalled 1600 but the guy who was with me said 1570 ish.)

    They grouped well, fed well and were nice and reliable. Now I want some more.

    Does anyone stock them?

    if you're going to shoot HOT ammo through the 15-22, you might want to invest in some spare ejectors and ejector springs.
    the S&W 15-22 forum is full of incidents where extremely hot ammo plucked the ejector out.

    ejector/extractor.... the little black hook in the bolt. meh.

    Get your local dealer to order some from Formalito. It is still on their pricelist along with the Velocitors.

    True. Some guys say they shoot lots of Stingers without issue, I just want some for gits and shiggles. They won't be my go to round. Probably too expensive :-) and my gun likes bulk HVHP and sub sonic anyway.

    Brendank, thanks, will do.

    I think you will find some, they arrived in SA about 3-4 months back.
    I bought mine from a dealer in Mosselbay at about R170/50 and he said they don't have any mini-mags available, only the stingers.
