Wow! I am having a hard time even finding stingers in my area. The ones I did find were expensive. I have shot them out of my heavy barreled NEF 22lr revolver with about the same accuracy anything else has in it FAIR. The stingers always felt they shot with more punch than other higher velocity ammo like yellow jackets etc. I have never chronograghed any of them to compare. It probably is the physcological factor of the plastic storage case the nickel cases and the copper bullet with the words stinger attached. Funny; the word "yellow jackets" seems pretty mean as well but I don't get the same satisfaction.
