For varmint hunters and precision rimfire shooters, ammunition choice is as critical as optics and trigger control. Consistent velocity, reliable ignition, and terminal performance determine whether a shot is effective at extended ranges or merely a wasted opportunity.

CCI VARMINT STINGER HP

Designed specifically for aggressive terminal effect, the CCI VARMINT STINGER HP is part of Cci’s focused Varmint Ammunition line. One look at the design intent is enough to see that Cci understands what varmint hunters want: a selection of bullet technologies engineered for total devastation on impact. The Stinger load balances high velocity with industry-standard pressures so it delivers a flat trajectory without exceeding safe limits for rimfire platforms.

Performance and construction

The Stinger load’s standout traits are its speed and consistent ignition. Loaded within industry standard pressures, it maintains a flat shot path that reduces holdover at extended yardages — ideal for open-field varmint work. Reliable ignition and uniform brass behavior are supported by Cci priming and brass, which translates to consistent group sizes and predictable point-of-impact for follow-up shots.

Why terminal performance matters

The hollow-point design in the Varmint Stinger is optimized to expand rapidly on small targets, transferring energy quickly for humane and effective results on varmints. Shooters who prioritize clean hits and minimal tracking will appreciate how the bullet technology is tuned to this role.

Brand and model context: Cci’s reputation for rimfire reliability is well established, and the Stinger variant — listed under model Various — fits squarely into the Rimfire Ammo category. At a price of $8.99, the CCI VARMINT STINGER HP offers specialized performance without a premium that prices many dedicated varmint loads out of reach. View product details and pricing
