Found some at Cabela's, a little high at $16.95 but three boxes didn't break the bank. I guess the normal crowd at Cabela's didn't know what they were so there were (was?) probably 50 100-rd boxes there when I arrived. Stingers have been 100% reliable for me, in any pistol or revolver, for way more than 20 years.

Lately I have bought CCI 22 ammo in Milk cartons and plastic bottles.
Ain't seen no Stangers but I'll buy at the first Tally Ho!

I've been happy with Stingers.
We have a Javelina Highway on our property, day and night, and when I take my dog out at night, it's with a flashlight and a LCR .22 loaded with Stingers. We've encountered a few and had been charged. Happened one night with a 50 lb male who came at us. One shot with a Stinger, he turned quickly away and wandered off. Next morning I found the body about 15 yards away.
I'm OK with them.

My Rugers ( MKII and MKIII ) are garbage eaters, and will consume everything and anything I can buy. But have to admit, as soon as I can find "Stangers", I'll give them a whirl.

I'll take a pass on the You-Tube Cowboy Special " Stanger" Ammo .
Just keep "Stingers" coming down the pipe line and onto my dealer's shelves at a reasonable cost .
Stangers ... we don't need no stinking stangers !

"Stangers" are just relabeled Stingers with Dave's picture on the label. Cool if you want to display and save a box for a collection but I doubt will ever be worth much more. The Nickel cases are cool if you want to keep them in a belt loop rig for extended periods - they won't collect Verdigris.
My preference when going for the hardest hitting .22 LR are the 40 grain Velocitors. While their velocity is lower, their weight is 25% greater - that's a lot when we are talking 32 grains of the Stanger/Stingers.

Well for one, CCI's ammo is surely more reliable than Remington's is. As far as effectiveness goes, it probably depends on what camp you're in. Personally, I'd rather have a bullet that weighs 40 grains going at 1435 fps than a 32 grain going 200 ft/sec faster. Some may feel better about a lighter and faster bullet.
In my Marlin semi-auto rifle with a 4x scope w/sand bag ;
Yellow Jacket 33gr at 1498fps ...... 50 yds gave 4 @ 1.23"
Stinger 32gr at 1640fps............. 100 yds did 5 @ .98" .91 ft/lbs
Velositer 40gr at 1435fps............ 100 yds did 5 @ .98" 1.04 ft/lbs
the 1200fps stuff will work for killing paper and wabbits.

Tomato, to-mah-to.
There are some numbers wrong here. .91 ft/lbs?? 1.04 ft/lbs??
32 grains @1640 is 191 ft/lbs
40 grains @1435 is 183 ft/lbs
Or do those numbers have some other meaning??

I have only dispatched one critter with a CCI Stinger. Was probably around 1992 or 1993. I shot a rabbit in the back yard with the stinger, he jumped straight up about 5' then fell over dead. Picked him up and looked good on the entrance side. On the exit side, his entire chest cavity was blown out. Quite effective me thinks.

Stangers, that is what a kid with a speech problem would say. My nephew couldn't say thing when he was maybe 3 or 4, so he said where is that "stang", meaning thing. He also said he wanted to go to the "huh, huh how" meaning Huddle House. He grew out of it though...and now pronounces words properly like other adults.

Still confused. .91ft/lbs maybe at 500 yards, but at 100, it isn't going to be that low. Did you mean 91 ft/lbs?

I've got a few hundred rounds of strangers stashed away from the last 22 shortage. The last time I remember shooting some was rabbit hunting in the late 70s. Shot a cottontail at 20 yards and purtneer blew his head to smithereens! Haven't used them since lol
