CCI Uppercut 22 LR

The latest advancement in rimfire ammunition comes in the form of a defensive loading from CCI and its new Uppercut line for .22 Long Rifle-chambered pistols.

Weighing in at 32 grains and optimized for short barrels, Uppercut’s new projectile is a jacketed-hollow-point design with nose skiving, or expansion-promoting slits, that ensure uniform and reliable terminal operation at reduced velocities while encouraging penetration.

Muzzle velocity is expected to top out at around 950 f.p.s. MSRP is $13 (50 rounds).
