Quote from CCI Website:

CCI AR Tactical 22 Long Rifle Ammo 40 Grain Copper Plated Lead Round Nose Ammo review offers the following information; CCI Ammunition is known for among hunters and target shooters alike for delivering an explosive and accurate performance over and over again with incredibly reliable ammunition! For over 50 years shooters have counted on CCI for all of their ammunition needs, and CCI has always delivered. This 22 LR ammunition is a tactical Rim fire, designed specifically for use in AR-style firearms and was explicitly tested for the Smith & Wesson M&P 15/22. This guarantees flawless function and precision in AR-style rifles. With clean-burning propellant, the components of this ammo support keeping semi-automatic actions clean for longer shooting sessions. An amazing pick, this ammunition is a perfect pick for plinking or competition training. Like much of CCI's AR Tactical ammunition, this 22 LR features a 40 Grain Copper plated round nose bullet that offers exceptional accuracy.


Has anyone shot this in their 15-22?

Tactical 22 ammo?

For those tactical squirrel SWAT operations?

 

[Just another 22 shooter]

Yes, I have shot quite a bit of it in my 1522 and had no problems.

 

[cjt50]

Yes, it works fine. It's a little slower than Mini mags solids but cycles fine.

I'm finding Mini mags at the moment a little less expensive then AR tactical so I using that currently.

 

[bamashooter]

My go to for most circumstances. Very reliable, consistent, and clean. Hard to beat.

Recently I bought a box.
Haven’t shot any, will shot it in various non AR guns.
Why did I buy it?
It was almost the only CCI that Cabelas had in stock.
And the closest one to MiniMags.

I really thought it was reboxed MiniMags.
To answer the question, I have not used any in the past few years. I shot it in my 15-22 when it was new. Since the break-in period, I have used CCI SV.

I bought 600 rounds of it yesterday. I'll give it a trial at the range soon.

Yes, it works fine. It's a little slower than Mini mags solids but cycles fine.

I'm finding Mini mags at the moment a little less expensive then AR tactical so I using that currently.

Online reviews say it is a penny or two more expensive than CCI Mini Mags. Bought 600 rounds (Two boxes yesterday).

It should work fine. I'm guessing each round has a little "Punisher" skull logo engraved on the bullet tip.

I thought I had seen everything "Tactical" after buying some Tactical Chop Sticks ... I swear , Kabar Tactical Chopsticks , get real !

Then my wife buys me a "Tactical" Walking Cane , can a Cane be tactical ...
I was at a loss for words ... Yes , it's a beast and will get you put in jail in most places just on dangerous looks alone . (M-48 sold by Cold Steel )

But Tactical 22 LR ... Come on Man , that's a bit much ...what can you do to make 22 LR ammo "Tactical" ... FMJ , Tracer , Armor Piercing ???
I gues if you can have Tactical Chopsticks you can have Tactical 22 LR Ammo ...sell it in a metal G.I. Ammo Can and don't look back !

I bought a couple of bricks back in 2017, simply because they were on the shelf and WalMart had no other inventory at that time.

They worked fine in any of my .22's, including my 15-22.

Their specs say its 1200 fps. Mini Mags are 1280.

 

[Drm50]

I’ve got a couple 300pks of CC1 Tactical, but don’t have any Tactical 22s.
Found it good accurate ammo in several untactical rifles. A buddy of mine picked it up on sale at big outdoor store in Columbus. I think it was $17.

Lately CCI has produced some confusing Packaging.
Like Stingers and Stangers.

 

[gwpercle]

I would like to have a box of " Stangers" ... will keep an eye out for them !

[BE Mike]

Well, Aguila has "Sniper" .22 ammo. It was just a matter of time before some company came out with "Tactical"!

Yes, this was marketing related to the History Channel show with the family that hunted gators (the show’s name is obviously escaping me at the moment). “Choot ‘em” was the other famous quote. Guess how the guys pronounced “Stingers”.

Range Report Today

I bought 600 rounds of it yesterday. I'll give it a trial at the range soon.

Went to my indoor range today. Shot 75 rounds of this ammo in my S&W 15-22. Started at 50 yds. First 9 rounds, 4 within 1 inch group dead center. Other 5 were flyers. Shot 20 more rounds..Some again dead center but 4 inch flyers again! Brought the target back to 25 yds and fired 20 more rounds. 6 rounds dead center . The remainder flyers. Compared to CCI Mini Mag and CCI Standard Velocity, this ammo today was inconsistent. I'll shoot the remainder of it. Will I buy it again...NO!

Dang, I just ordered 2—300 rd. boxes of CCI Mini-Mags a couple of hours ago. Just missed out on the Tactile stuff I guess. What the heck.
