CCI Uppercut Defense .22 LR Rimfire Ammunition

Answering the call for defensive .22 LR ammunition with power and performance, CCI Uppercut Defense .22 LR Ammunition is the company’s first product that falls in the personal protection ammo category. The difference lies in its exclusive 32-grain projectile. Unlike simple lead round-nose bullets or copper-plated hollow points typical of most rimfire ammunition, Uppercut’s jacketed hollow point bullet features nose skiving that initiates full and reliable expansion through semi-automatic handguns with 2.5- to 4-inch barrels, while retaining the weight needed to hit critical penetration depths.
