I’m considering picking up some CCI Copper .22 LR ammunition for my next small game hunting trip, and I wanted to see if anyone here has had real-life experience with it. I’m particularly interested in the following aspects:

Performance

  • How does it hold up in terms of accuracy and reliability compared to standard .22 LR ammo?
  • Any noticeable difference in performance against small game?
  • How does it handle in varying weather conditions?

Effectiveness

  • Has anyone noticed an improvement in penetration or expansion when using CCI Copper?
  • How does it compare to other copper-plated or hollow-point ammunition?

User Experiences

  • Would love to hear about any specific situations where CCI Copper excelled or fell short.
  • Any detailed reviews on your experience? Was it worth the price?

Comparisons

  • For those who have also tried other brands/types of .22 LR ammo, how does CCI Copper stack up?

I’m hoping to get some insightful feedback before making a purchase, as I want to ensure I have the best ammo for my hunt. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Thanks in advance!

I have used CCI Copper before. It’s definitely cleaner than other brands. Less fouling, which is a huge plus for me.

That’s a solid advantage! But how does it hold up in terms of grouping?

For me, the grouping was fantastic. I managed to get some tight clusters at 50 yards, especially compared to others like Remington.

That’s impressive! How did you find the recoil and noise? I’ve heard copper can sometimes be a bit snappier.

It felt pretty standard to me. Noise levels were comparable to lead rounds, so not much to complain about! What about velocity?

I’ve shot CCI Copper in various conditions, and it performed well in wet weather, unlike some other ammo that I struggle with.

That’s good information! I had issues with other brands in rain, so this might be worth trying.

I’ve had some great results hunting small game with CCI Copper. My accuracy took a noticeable leap.

That’s fantastic to hear! Would you say it’s worth the price premium over lead?

I think it is, especially if you care about the environment. Copper is a more eco-friendly option!

True, but I’ve heard some mixed reviews about its performance in colder weather. Anyone else noticed that?

I shot it in cold conditions too, and had no issues. It performed as expected—maybe I just got lucky?

Lucky or not, I like that! Keeps me optimistic. I think I’ll try it out soon.

I’ve used the CCI Copper .22 in my Ruger 10/22, and it functioned flawlessly. Zero jams over 200 rounds, even in colder weather. Highly recommend it!

That’s great to hear! What about in a semi-automatic? Any issues with cycling?

In my experience, the CCI Copper rounds cycled well in my Glock 44. I didn’t face any jams. I’d say the performance is pretty consistent!
