Although the hyper-velocity ammunition gives dramatic effects at short ranges, the light bullets lose velocity more rapidly than do the heavier bullets used in conventional 22 LR ammunition. The result is that the remaining energy of the hyper-velocity ammunition is approximately equal to that of the slower rounds at a range of 100 yards or so. It is also generally true that hyper-velocity ammunition does not deliver the best accuracy in most rifles. There have been many reports published to verify that conclusion, and based on the results of tests conducted during this work it certainly true. Moreover, the longer cases of the Stinger and Quik-Shok pose a problem when used in rifles with so-called matchtype chambers because the case engages the rifling just in front of the chamber. With match chambers, the rifling extends back to the front end of the chamber so the bullet engages the rifling as a round is chambered. The makers of some rifles having match chambers warn against using the Stinger ammunition in those rifles. Bullet diameter for the 22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle is 0.223 inch.
