Default CCI Veloctor

I love the hit of these, but they are extremely dirty for CCI.

It seems that they could put a 50g round in and be gtg.

That would bring. 22 into a defensive round.

I don't find them to be particularly dirty in my rifles.

I don't think they were made for the handgun shooter.
Like most 22 ammo they shoot ok in a handgun, but they shine in a 24" T-Bolt. I would like to run them over a chronograph out of a pistol to see if they have much more velocity than a high speed 22 long rifle.

I've got data here for Velocitors from one particular M&P Compact .22 with normal 40-grain ammo as well as a couple other types (Federal and Aguila) of "fast premium" 40-grain ammo. I've seen the CCI Velocitors produce better results than these from different guns, but you can see here that they were only slightly better than regular 40-gr high speed ammo from this pistol - and that the Aguilas and Federals outpaced the Velocitors by a notable bit:

Those numbers probably go up a bit in a 6" compared to his 3.5" barrel.

Can't fool you, Slick! Yes, they almost certainly do.

I've shot a bunch of boxes of 40 grain Velocitors over the years and have not noticed any "dirty issues". What I have noticed is that while their velocities are pretty impressive in rifles, they are not nearly as accurate as standard velocity or even High Velocity ammo is in my rifles. The groups spread out at least an inch at 50 yards however that is still useable for small game hunting on all but the smallest varmints. I can not remember ever having a FTF with them.

I did chronograph them out of rifles and I did get much higher velocities than regular high velocity fodder, but I do not know where I put the results at this point - I tested them many years ago.

I ran some over the screens from my FN SA-22 yesterday (Albuquerque City Range, 5950'>sea level, c. 60°F, c. 20% humidity), along with some other "fast" ammo and some regular stuff. Velocitors gave good velocities and just-fine-but-not-outstanding accuracy from this rifle.
CCI Velocitor 40-gr PHP: Mean 1400/Extreme Spread 40.79/Standard Deviation 22.53
Federal AutoMatch 40-gr RNL: M 1161/S 51.15/D 25.51
CCI Mini-Mag 40-gr PRN "Target": M 1207/S 30.75/D13.89
CCI Stingers 32-gr PHP: M 1518/S 9.92/D 5.00 (one hole at a short ten yards, and I wasn't killing myself to be accurate - I was trying to get rounds through the gun in the relay period without hitting my screens)
CCI Copper 21-gr truncated cone solids: M 1632/S 8.37/D 6.40 (not one hole)

To clarify my post on it being dirty;
When shooting in a sw22 sparks are still flying when the shell is being ejected.
I have not experienced that with any other rounds. It seemed to me to be slow burning or something.

From my chrono testing of Velocitors from handguns:

S&W 63 w/3” barrel avg speed is 1,042 fps
S&W 617 w/4” barrel avg speed is 1,089 fps

Cheers.

I shot Velocitors out of my Ruger 8305 surpressed today. I had it zeroed at fifty yards but had to re zero for this round.
It took about 10 shots to re zero. (I'm slow I know)

I put out 5 exploding targets taped to sticks @ 50yds.

I got all 5 the first five shots. They are accurate enough for me.

Talk about hitting power. Try Aguila 60 grain sniper SS.
They are slower but with devastating hitting power.

They will probably keyhole some if your shooting a 1:16 twist barrel over 25 yards. A 1:9 twist would be a better choice if your shooting longer distances.

They shot well in my two different brand .22 rifles with scopes at 25 yards
but they are a little more money for the accuracy that I can get with other ammo that does not cost as much.
I did not find them dirty in my pump or the semi-auto, although, I did not shoot the whole box of ammo, saving some for later.

The CCI Velocitor 22lr was advertised as having a Gold Dot bullet.

Velocitor would be my choice of round for a defensive 22 revolver. Probably won’t get expansion out of a snub but I believe gel tests showed tumbling and good penetration range. It is good stuff.

I see The CCI Velocitor load strictly as a small game hunting round or as a last resort SD round. I would not use them for general purpose plinking or target shooting. While usually more than accurate enough for hunting and SD, I have found that they are not exactly tack drivers. For their intended purpose the CCI Velocitor is excellent and most will not fire a whole lot of rounds - hence how clean or dirty they are is basically a non issue IMO.

I agree, that's not a round to be shooting paper with but what about exploding targets at 50 yards ?

I set up 5 exploding targets at 50 yards
It took a few shots to zero the scope in for that round.
I was lucky enough to take all 5 with 5 shots.
I was using a Ruger bolt action 8305, surpressed.

I bought 5 bricks of them last year that are marked for pressure testing in Savage rifles . They are the most accurate thing I have ever shot in my kit gun and run my 63 Winchester without a hiccup . I like the ones I have but have not seen any others marked the way these are .

I like the 40gr Veloctor ammo better than the 32gr Stinger ammo all day long. It's my favorite small game 22lr ammo. It even shoots well in my Ruger Single-Six.

There are others like the Remington Viper and one by Winchester that I forget the name of but it has a black and red label. I'm not sure it's still in production. I have some in my basement but it's buried and I don't want to look now lol.

I have a few boxes of Velocitors, but I’ve not tried them yet. I will say my “go-to” round for small varmint control for the past few years has been the 40gr CCI Subsonic hollow point. For some reason these have consistently produced quick, one-shot kills on raccoons for me.
