The CCI Stinger is the high performance 22 round. Clocking in at 1640 FPS, this round does make sacrifices for speed. It uses a lower weight bullet (32 grain), as well as a slightly long case that doesn’t work in tight match 22LR chambers. But, you get the fastest 22LR and some pretty amazing accuracy

The CCI Mini-Mag is a standard size bullet (40 grain) at a higher-than-standard velocity of 1235 FPS. It uses an easy handling, copper-plated, round-nosed bullet.

Yesteryear’s High Performer I remember buying this stuff as a kid; has it always been around or did Remington ramp production back up once 22LR got hard to find?
