.22 tactical ammo question

[Santeeshooter9733]

So I've seen a few different places that have .22 tactical ammo and I'm just curious as to what is or if there is any difference between tactical and standard .22 ammo. If anyone knows please fill me in.

Mall ninja sort of stuff. Slap Tactical on it, beer cans wither and rodents go all Jamestown.

"Tactical" .22lr is just a slightly hotter load and maybe different bullet shape for more reliability in AR conversions or dedicated AR .22lr uppers. Those guys like it when their ammo is labeled "tactical."

Operators are impervious to regular ammunition. They only go down when hit with tactical ammunition.

Before there was tactical .22 rimfire ammo, there was CCI Mini Mags. If I were to keep a .22 lr for defensive purposes that is what I would load it with.

CCI AR Tactical .22lr was designed for Evil Black .22s like the M&P 15-22.
It has slightly less velocity than a mini-mag.

Hahaha ok thanks for that. I had a feeling that it was just a sale tactic more than anything.

Funny stuff: ".22lr" and "tactical". Perhaps I need to get some tactical pellets for my air rifle.

You don't think you could keep some heads down with a .22 and a couple bricks of ammo?

I have cci tactical ammo it is the worst stuff I have used.. for my steel challenge gun for plinking federal bulk match. For practice I use cci mini mag for competition I use eley force.

Tactical, cost more for tactical printing on the box. Buy a 22 mag and be done with it.

Folks keep mixing up the CCI AR Tactical and Mini Mags.

Both are your best bets in a "AR style" semi.
However, the AR Tactical ammo groups better than the Mini-Mags.
The Mini-Mags have more flyers than the AR Tacticals
A number of side-by-side comparisons, prove this.
They are not the same product just relabeled.

If you are thinking an AR style .22, stock up on the CCI AR Tactical ... like NOW.

The CCI AR tactical also has a different nose profile compared to the minimags. They are shaped more like a traditional target style bullet, but copper washed. They are the only load that consistenty loads, ejects, and groups well in ALL of my .22lr rifles. Some rifles shoot other loads better, more dependbly, and more accuratley, but the AR "tacticals" are a load I can throw in any gun I own and be sure it wil go pop, and hit what I'm aiming at with no jams or misfires. That covers bolt actions, semi autos, and lever actions in detachable or tube magazines. the minimags velocity is advertised at 1240 fps on the box, and the AR tacticals have 1200 fps printed on the box.
