Thread: CCI segmented low velocity ammo

Hi,

Wondering if anyone has used this and is it really low risk of ricochets? Apparently so. Am thinking it might be good for stony country small game shooting. Thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

Be good to know how accurate it is too.

gee I wish we could get it at $7 a packet here......
I remember stinger being advertised as having lower risk of ricochet......going so quick and so soft it breaks up rather than bounces.
funny how things go full circle.

705 fps, that would still be subsonic on top of Mt Cook. Friend in Twizel complained to me that most brands of subsonic .22LR still make a crack up in the high country, he found one that didn't. Now there are two.

These are made for the US market where suppressor ownership is relatively rare, so instead they've done their utmost to reduce the bare muzzle report. Also great if your suppressor is a poor performer, like my factory stock JW15's.

interesting because the manders one that came on my JW15 is really good.....is yours a manders??? skinny black with rounded end...can push muzzle end washer inwards.....

Been using the quiets on my little badger. Accuracy is good to 25m, at 50m they start to spread out. I've found them quite brutal on hares. All you hear is a click of the trigger, and the thump when they hit.

Mine is steel, no name on it, no rounded end but you can push the muzzle end washer in.

Innwr construction: Has a stack of simple, flat washers spaced out with springs, the central hole in the washers must be 8mm or 9mm. (Need to visit mitre 10 to get some with a smaller hole.) I assumed the holes were deliberately made that big for tolerances because JW15 bores were not always concentric with the barrels.

Adding a rubber wipe near the exit did help suppression but I recall accuracy suffered a bit, but it helped me confirm the bullets travel along thecentre of it.

unscrew the base end and make sure there isnt a "spare" thread protector cap in there...mine had one so I ended up with two...they left factory with it stored in there.
pretty sure the manders are alloy all the same. the thread recently with 3 .22lr and 2 centrefires has a no name suppresser that looks just like one.
you could try giving internals a good clean out with hot water etc to get rid of built up powder etc...it does make a difference.
funny that now I just use subsonic power point in my JW without suppressor as its very quiet as it is....

It shot fine for out to 50m out of my rifle. I shoots well out of my 10/22 but it wont cyslce a semi so bolt is best. Seriously quiet. What I am wondering most about is whether the segmented projectile significantly reduces risk of ricochets and if anyone knows?

Thanks

I would think the segmented projectile may result in more pieces ricocheting, but they wouldn't travel as far.

A 40 grainer at that slow speed, I suspect it will readily tumble on impact.

I have a nickel coated CZ as a dedicated set up to shooting CCI quiets, both segmented and Waltz tool hollow pointed solids. Barrel is shortened and suppressed, and it has a Vortex Viper 2.5-10 FFP on top which I have sighted in at 5m increments and have stickers on the turret for easy dial up out to 55m.

As others have said, accuracy is pretty good out to 50m. Beyond that grouping would struggle to head shoot rabbits, so I only have it doped out to 55m and have set that as my practical limit.
The are super quiet. Suppressed, they are noticeably quieter than a suppressed PCP air rifle.
In terms of ricochets, I would treat it as if it was any other 22LR round as you never know when one will hold together and go further than expected.

Hey I am trying to get hold of some segmented 710fps CCI..... I have a job to do in a built-up area and have run out. Have been all over the south island in the last couple of weeks and haven't found any..

Any one know where I could lay hands on some? Need a hundred rounds if poss?

Sounds like a nice little setup and preferable to PCP in my opinion.

Can you report on the amount of ricochets with them? Sounds like you have used them a bit and maybe on stony ground? Thanks in advance
