CCI 22 Short 27gr CPHP – Reliable Small Game Rimfire Ammo, 1105 fps, 100 Rounds

Description

The CCI 22 Short 27gr CPHP load gives .22 Short shooters a hollow point that actually performs in the field. CCI drives a 27 grain copper-plated hollow point at a rated 1105 feet per second, fast enough for reliable expansion on squirrels, rabbits and small pests, while the short case keeps noise and recoil lower than a typical .22 LR. It is a smart choice for vintage .22 Short rifles and revolvers, as well as for quieter pest control around the property.

Why Choose the CCI 22 Short 27gr CPHP

• 27 grain copper-plated hollow point
• Rated 1105 fps muzzle velocity
• Reliable expansion on small game
• Lower noise and recoil than .22 LR
• 100 rounds per box, CCI 0028

Built for Small Game and Pests

• Copper plating reduces lead fouling
• Hollow point for effective energy transfer
• Reliable CCI priming and brass
• Great for vintage .22 Short rifles and revolvers

If you shoot .22 Short in a .22 LR chamber, clean the chamber afterward. The shorter case can leave a ring of fouling that makes it harder to chamber standard .22 LR rounds later. A quick pass with a chamber brush solves the problem.

Keep shots on small game close and precise, typically inside 50 yards, and aim for the head or just behind the shoulder. Rimfire bullets can travel well over a mile, so always confirm a safe backstop. CCI has built rimfire ammunition in Lewiston, Idaho for decades and is known for reliable priming.

The .22 Short is the oldest self-contained metallic cartridge still in production, dating back to the 1850s. It was once the standard for shooting galleries and small pocket revolvers, and many of those guns are still in use today. Feeding them quality ammunition keeps them working and helps preserve a piece of shooting history.

Because the bullet is lighter and the powder charge smaller than a .22 LR, recoil is very mild and the report is noticeably softer. That makes this load a pleasant choice for teaching new shooters, especially in rifles designed for .22 Short. Clean your firearm after each session to keep older actions running smoothly.

Getting the Most From 22 Short Hollow Point Ammo

Most 22 short ammo on the market uses solid lead bullets meant for plinking. This 22 short hollow point takes a different approach, adding a copper-plated hollow point and enough velocity to expand reliably. That makes it one of the few .22 Short loads suited for small game hunting.

Many classic single-shot rifles, pump-action gallery guns and older revolvers were built for .22 Short, and quality ammunition for them can be hard to find. This box keeps those guns working as intended, whether you are punching paper or using them as 22 short small game rifles.

The short case also fires in many .22 LR bolt-action and single-shot rifles when loaded one round at a time, which gives you a quieter option for pests around barns and outbuildings.

Owners of vintage .22 Short firearms, small game hunters and anyone who wants a quieter rimfire option will get dependable performance from this 100-round box. Always confirm your firearm can safely fire .22 Short, know what is beyond your target, and follow all federal, state and local hunting laws.
