For the discerning shooter who values precision, economy, and historical cartridge performance, this 500-round bulk pack of CCI 22 Short ammunition represents an exceptional offering. The .22 Short, one of the oldest commercially successful cartridges still in production, finds renewed purpose in modern shooting sports, small-game hunting, and specialized training, thanks to CCI’s consistent high-quality manufacturing. This specific load—featuring a 29-grain Plated Lead Round Nose (PLRN) bullet—is engineered for reliable cycling, minimal report, and flat trajectory over short to medium ranges.

As your trusted source for premium ammunition, Black Rambo Ammo is proud to supply this bulk pack, ensuring you have a ready supply of one of the most versatile rimfire rounds available. Whether you’re stocking up for a season of pest control, honing your skills at the range, or operating a historic firearm, this CCI offering delivers unwavering performance shot after shot.

Technical Breakdown & How It Works
This cartridge is a testament to simple, effective design. The case is made of high-quality brass, providing reliable elasticity for consistent chamber sealing (obturation) in various firearms. It is primed with CCI’s proprietary non-corrosive, non-mercuric priming compound, housed in a rugged rimfire casing, ensuring a dependable strike every time. The propellant is a clean-burning, fast-burning powder optimized for the short case length, generating sufficient pressure to propel the 29-grain projectile effectively without excessive noise or fouling.

The bullet itself is a key feature. The 29-grain weight is ideal for the Short’s powder capacity, balancing velocity and stability. The Plated Lead Round Nose design offers the best of both worlds: the soft, malleable lead core ensures excellent engagement with rifling for accuracy and easy deformation on impact for humane small-game takedowns, while the thin, uniform electroplating (typically copper) reduces barrel leading compared to plain lead, increases shelf life by protecting the lead from oxidation, and provides a smoother feed cycle. The round nose profile promotes reliable feeding in tube magazines and revolvers.

Performance Benefits & Real-World Application
From the bench, expect consistent velocities averaging approximately 830 feet per second (fps) from a rifle barrel, with minimal deviation. This translates to a flat trajectory inside 50 yards, making it highly capable for pest control (squirrels, rats) and short-range target practice. The low report and virtually nonexistent recoil make it an outstanding choice for introducing new shooters to firearms, high-volume training to maintain fundamentals, and discreet use where noise is a concern.

For hunters, the 22 Short is a humane choice for small game and birds when head shots are employed. The plated lead round nose provides adequate penetration and energy transfer for quick kills on appropriate species. It is also the cartridge of necessity for many historic firearms chambered exclusively for .22 Short, such as early Colt revolvers and target pistols, preserving the authenticity and function of these collectibles.

Safety, Storage & Longevity
Always treat every cartridge as if it is live. Store this ammunition, like all rimfire, in a cool, dry place away from solvents and extreme temperature fluctuations. The sealed plastic tray within the 500-round bulk box provides excellent initial protection. For long-term storage (decades), consider a climate-controlled ammo can with desiccant. CCI’s non-corrosive primers and sealed construction ensure a long shelf life when stored properly. Before use, visually inspect each round for defects—though with CCI’s legendary quality control, this is more a ritual of safe handling than a frequent necessity.
