The CCI 960CC Uppercut Defense 22LR ammunition delivers reliable terminal performance with 32-grain jacketed hollow point bullets engineered for personal protection applications. This premium defensive load maximizes the .22 Long Rifle cartridge's potential through advanced bullet design and consistent powder charges.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard .22LR target ammunition, the Uppercut Defense features a specialized hollow point cavity that promotes controlled expansion upon impact. The 32-grain bullet weight provides optimal velocity retention while maintaining manageable recoil characteristics. CCI's Clean-Fire priming system reduces fouling and ensures consistent ignition across temperature extremes.
Key Features
- 32-grain jacketed hollow point bullets for enhanced terminal performance
- Clean-Fire priming technology eliminates heavy metal residue
- Optimized powder charge for consistent velocities around 1,070 fps
- Reliable feeding in semi-automatic firearms and revolvers
- 50 rounds per box packaging for convenient storage
- Brass cases suitable for reloading applications
- Quality control testing ensures consistent performance
Field testing demonstrates reliable cycling in popular .22LR pistols including the Ruger Mark series, Smith & Wesson M&P 22, and Walther P22. The hollow point design expands predictably in ballistic gelatin while maintaining adequate penetration depths. Temperature stability makes this ammunition suitable for year-round carry in concealed carry applications where .22LR firearms are preferred.
