Slow Mo CCI Quiet .22 VS Remington CBee VS CCI Quiet Segmented .22lr

Duration: 7:56

This video conducts a comparative ballistics test of three low-powered .22LR ammunition types: CCI Quiet, CCI Quiet Segmented, and Remington CBee. The test uses apples as a medium to observe penetration, expansion, and fragmentation. The CCI Quiet Segmented demonstrated significant fragmentation, while the Remington CBee showed good expansion. The CCI Quiet, a solid lead round nose, provided the most penetration.

Quick Summary

Comparing CCI Quiet, CCI Quiet Segmented, and Remington CBee .22LR ammunition, the segmented round excels at fragmentation, the CBee at expansion, and the standard CCI Quiet at penetration. Low-powered rounds often require manual cycling in semi-automatic firearms.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key differences between CCI Quiet, CCI Quiet Segmented, and Remington CBee .22LR ammunition?

CCI Quiet is a 40-grain lead round nose for penetration. CCI Quiet Segmented is a 40-grain hollow point designed to fragment into three pieces. Remington CBee is a 33-grain hollow point designed for expansion, featuring notches to aid this process.

How does low-powered .22LR ammunition affect semi-automatic firearm operation?

Low-powered .22LR ammunition, like the CCI Quiet and Remington CBee tested, often lacks sufficient energy to reliably cycle the action of semi-automatic firearms such as the Ruger 10/22. This necessitates manual bolt manipulation after each shot.

Which .22LR ammunition type performed best for fragmentation in the apple test?

The CCI Quiet Segmented .22LR demonstrated the most significant fragmentation when impacting the apple. Visible pieces were observed impacting the backstop, indicating its designed fragmentation capability was met.

Does Remington CBee .22LR ammunition expand effectively?

Yes, the Remington CBee .22LR, a 33-grain hollow point, showed significant expansion after passing through an apple. The expansion was described as 'pretty nice,' though not as dramatic as the fragmentation seen with the CCI Quiet Segmented.
