CCI Standard Velocity is widely regarded as reliable and affordable, though not a precision-grade match ammo. Here’s what shooters are saying:

“CCI Standard… is very good ammo… reliability and accuracy compared to other bulk ammos”

“CCI Standard Velocity… very reliable and cycles all of my 22’s”

It’s a preferred choice for general-purpose use such as plinking, training, and youth shooting—especially when using suppressors:

“Out of an 18.5” barrel, CCI Standard Velocity is usually subsonic… it’s the only suppressed plinking ammo I use…”

Some caution that it’s not ideal for precision shooting, with potential for occasional duds or flyers:

“You don’t use CCI standard for precision work… one or two flyers… every group of five rounds”

“Not match grade ammo. … great for reliability… but not precision.4

• CCI Standard Velocity 40 gr LRN (50) is a solid all-around ammo—affordable, dependable, and great for general shooting sessions.

• It’s not designed for match-precision, so if you’re aiming for tight groups or competition-level performance, consider upgraded options like CCI Green Tag, Pistol Match, or premium match brands like Lapua or Eley.

• Excellent choice if you plan plinking, training, or suppressed shooting—especially given its consistent subsonic velocity and clean-burning characteristics.
