22 LR CCI SELECT 40 GRAIN LRN (100 ROUNDS)

Even for its relative lack of power and somewhat limited hunting use, we would venture that few calibers bring about a sense of nostalgia like the 22 LR does. It’s because of its lack of power, in all likelihood, that so many consider the 22 LR fondly -- it’s the first round we were ever allowed to shoot, often so early on in life that the experience predates memory. Learning how to draw a bead with an old bolt action rifle, tromping around through the woods as proud as could be while in search of Bambi’s friends, perforating old tobacco tins set up on a saw horse in the backyard -- the 22 LR is an inseparable artifact from many childhoods, so there’s little wonder why we sell so many of them.

This 22 LR cartridge from CCI’s Select line of ammunition will keep that feeling kindled. Its supersonic muzzle velocity means a nice and flat trajectory, its 40 grain lead round nose projectile is common and feels familiar to fire, and its non-corrosive rimfire primed brass casing suits it as well for storage as it does drizzly tromps. This round is engineered for semi-automatic competition, so it’s excellent whether you’re keeping score or not.
