The .22 CCI Segmented Subsonic ammunition is designed for shooters seeking quiet yet effective performance, primarily for varmint control or small-game hunting. This round is popular due to its unique segmented bullet design, which breaks into three pieces upon impact for maximum trauma.
Key Features:
Segmented Hollow Point (SHP) Design: The 40-grain lead hollow-point bullet is engineered to break into three equal pieces upon impact. This creates multiple wound channels, delivering more internal damage to the target while ensuring minimal over-penetration.
Subsonic Velocity: With a velocity of around 1050 fps, this round remains below the speed of sound, resulting in significantly reduced noise. This makes it ideal for use with suppressed firearms or for situations where noise reduction is important.
Reliable Cycling: Though subsonic, CCI's precision engineering ensures this round cycles reliably in both bolt-action and semi-automatic firearms.
Why It’s Special:
Humane Varmint Control: The segmented bullet ensures that small game and pests are taken down quickly and humanely, reducing the likelihood of the animal running off wounded.
Quiet Performance: The subsonic velocity combined with the segmenting effect provides both the desired stealth and terminal performance, making it a great round for pest control in noise-sensitive environments.
Performance:
Muzzle Velocity: ~1050 fps
Bullet Weight: 40 grains
Bullet Type: Segmented Hollow Point (SHP)
Applications:
Varmint Hunting: The fragmentation upon impact makes it highly effective for hunting small pests like squirrels, rabbits, and other small game.
Pest Control: This round’s quiet and effective performance makes it great for pest control around properties where minimal noise is a priority.
 
The .22 CCI Segmented Subsonic round offers excellent terminal performance for small game hunting and pest control, with the added benefit of reduced noise for quiet shooting. Its innovative bullet design ensures a quick and humane takedown of pests, making it a top choice for hunters and backyard pest controllers.
