This video compares the power of two distinct .22 LR ammunition types: the very low-power Aguila Super Colibri and the high-velocity CCI Stinger. Using a suppressed Beretta 21A Bobcat, the demonstration highlights the significant difference in terminal ballistics by observing the impact on a pumpkin. The Super Colibri produces minimal damage, while the Stinger creates a much larger, more destructive wound channel, illustrating the vast spectrum of performance within the .22 LR caliber.
This video from Line45 explores the most potent .22 LR ammunition available in 2025, challenging the notion that rimfire is only for plinking. Instructor Ted highlights specific loads like the CCI Stinger for its speed and flat trajectory, the CCI Velocitor for balanced expansion and penetration, and the Aguila Super Maximum as the fastest commercial .22 LR. It also covers Eley Force for match-grade precision, Remington Golden Bullet for affordability and reliability, Federal Punch for defensive utility, and Winchester Super X Power-Point as a classic hunting round. The content emphasizes that not all .22 LR is created equal, with significant differences in velocity, energy, and terminal performance.
This video reviews several .22LR and .22 Magnum ammunition options for self-defense and hunting, highlighting their terminal ballistics, velocity, and intended applications. It emphasizes that while .22LR is often underestimated, specific loads can offer effective performance, particularly with proper shot placement.

This video provides an expert-level analysis of the lethality of .22LR ammunition at point-blank range, specifically focusing on contact shots. The host, demonstrating high authority and practical knowledge, uses a Ruger Mark IV Lite and various CCI .22LR rounds, including the Stinger hollow point and Mini-Mag round nose, to test their effects on ballistic dummies and simulated skulls. The experiments highlight how gas pressure and bullet type influence wound characteristics and stealth at contact distances.
This video provides an expert-level breakdown of the best .22 LR and .22 Magnum ammunition for concealed carry, focusing on performance metrics like penetration, expansion, and consistency. The instructor, a firearms enthusiast and tester, details specific loads from brands like CCI, Federal, Hornady, and Spear, explaining their suitability for self-defense in compact firearms. Key considerations include velocity, bullet weight, and how different designs perform against barriers and in short barrels.
This video compares the ballistics of CCI Stingers and .22 Magnum ammunition, tested in various Heritage Rough Rider revolvers. The experiment reveals that while manufacturer claims for both are often based on rifle performance, actual velocities and energy in short-barreled revolvers can differ significantly. The Hornady 30-grain V-Max .22 Magnum proved to deliver the highest energy output from a 16-inch barrel, surpassing standard .22 Magnum and CCI Stingers.
This video focuses on the ballistics of .22 caliber ammunition when fired from a pistol. It specifically tests the performance of CCI Stinger, CCI Mini Mag, and CCI Suppressor loads. The analysis likely involves measuring aspects like velocity and potentially terminal ballistics to understand the capabilities of these popular .22 LR rounds in a handgun platform.
This video focuses on the ballistics of various .22 caliber ammunition types, specifically CCI Stingers, Mini Mags, and Suppressor rounds, tested in a semi-automatic rifle. The content aims to provide informative data regarding the performance of these popular rimfire loads.
