I tried those "Quick Shok" hyper velocity segmented hp .22's when they first came out. They were very destructive on small critters at close range. Couldn't say how they'd be farther out because they were too inaccurate to hit anything beyond spitting distance. Not what I'm talking about at all. I knew that. I don't think they are discontinued, just not currently being made. They are not listed on the Remington ammunition website since Vista took over. That is incorrect https://www.remington.com/rimfire/

I haven't been able to get Velocitors to shoot in any of my .22s. Granted they are old lots I probably bought before 2010, but as a result I haven't tried newer ones. The early Velocitors sometimes shot well, but then a new manufacturing batch might not. They've pretty well solved that problem these days.

Weighed out.
Minimag 40,s
Blazer 40,s
Small game bullet 40,
Velocitors
All are accurate.
51.2 to 52.3grs are the weight range out of a box of 50 of the above.
You will get about 30 to 35 in the 51.7 to 51.9 range
Those others are you WTF flyers that destroy 10 shot groups at 50 yds.
Blazer weighed out is 7/ 16th to 5/8ths" ammo surprisingly.
And lot #,s of all of the above do come into factor.
I was pretty OCD about .22 shooting 5 to 8 yrs ago.
Posted on here many times about it all back then.
I shoot velocitors
Consistent 1/2" groups and they fugg up grey and fox squirrels.

Kandpand: Thanks for the heads up - the Murdochs hardware and feed store here in SW Montana is OUT of these now.
The price they sold for was either $8.49 or $8.99 (no sales tax in Montana) a box - I forget - I may have to resort to "mail order" if I can not find them locally.
Thanks again

Theres nothing special about cci velocitor and it doesnt achieve anywhere near the velocity claimed on the box. A catchy name sure does make for quite the placebo effect it seems.
Any top velocity 40 grain 22 lr hollowpoint from any of the ammunition manufacturers will perform just as well.
40 grain winchester powerpoint has a hollowpoint that is twice as deep as the hollowpoint on velocitors. They expand better on longer shots. It chronographs slightly higher velocities than velocitor, and is cheaper too.

It chronographs slightly higher velocities than velocitor, and is cheaper too. I've shot many of the Win's above in various guns. I'd rate them with bulk ammo for plinking. No contest. Could be some bad lots. But statically I doubt it. Note: My chronograph agrees with me

Velocitors work well in a Beretta Bobcat......
