CCI Uppercut .22LR 32 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point (designed for Pistols) – 50 Rounds (Box) 960CC

CCI Uppercut 22LR ammunition was engineered specifically for pistols, which is a far less common design goal than it should be. This box of 50 rounds carries a 32 grain jacketed hollow point at 950 fps producing 64 ft/lbs of energy. Those numbers come from a short barrel rather than a rifle.

Most rimfire ammunition is developed around a rifle length barrel, and the results in a four inch pistol are often disappointing. Velocity drops, hollow points stop expanding, and reliability suffers. Designing for the shorter barrel from the start fixes all three problems.

Why CCI Uppercut 22LR is built differently

The 32 grain bullet is lighter than the 40 grain standard, and that is intentional. A lighter projectile reaches useful velocity sooner in a short barrel, which is exactly what a jacketed hollow point needs to open reliably. Expansion at pistol velocity is the whole design target.

Shooters running a rimfire handgun for small game, pest control or trail carry are the natural buyers for CCI Uppercut 22LR. It is equally at home in a rimfire revolver as in a semi automatic, and the jacketed construction helps feeding in autoloaders. Fifty rounds is a practical box for a day in the field.

Specifications and what they mean from a handgun

Caliber is .22 Long Rifle, bullet weight is 32 grains, bullet type is jacketed hollow point, muzzle velocity is 950 fps and muzzle energy is 64 ft/lbs. The box holds 50 rounds. Every one of those figures is quoted from a pistol rather than a rifle.

Honest pistol numbers are the reason to buy CCI Uppercut 22LR rather than a general purpose rimfire load. A standard high velocity round advertised at 1250 fps from a rifle may only manage 950 fps from a handgun, at which point its hollow point often will not open at all. Designing for the platform removes that guesswork.

Field use, accuracy testing and storage

Shoot groups with your own pistol before you carry it for anything serious. Rimfire handguns vary enormously in how they like a given load, and 50 rounds is more than enough to learn whether yours agrees with this one. Most shooters are pleasantly surprised by what a good rimfire handgun will do with the right load at twenty five yards.

Feeding is the other thing to confirm, particularly in semi automatic rimfire pistols that can be picky about bullet profile. Cycle a couple of full magazines of CCI Uppercut 22LR and watch for any hesitation on the feed ramp. Jacketed bullets usually solve the problem rather than causing it.

Store the box cool and dry, since rimfire priming lives in the case rim and is best protected from humidity. Keep the rounds in their plastic tray rather than loose in a pocket where the rims can get dented. A dented rim is a misfire waiting to happen.

Buy a few boxes at once and look through the rest of our ammunition inventory while you order. Purpose built rimfire loads are not always on the shelf when you want them.

A rimfire pistol is one of the most useful guns on a property, and CCI Uppercut 22LR is ammunition actually designed for it. Feed it properly and it will handle far more than people expect. This ammunition ships straight to your door wherever state and local law allows.
