Special Features
- The nose skiving on the Uppercut hollow point is a series of pre-cut notches machined into the bullet jacket at the tip, mechanically initiating petal separation and uniform expansion at the moment of impact rather than relying solely on hydraulic pressure from soft tissue to open the bullet, a design that significantly improves consistency across varying barriers and impact velocities
- Unlike standard copper-washed or lead hollow points common in most .22 WMR hunting and plinking loads, the Uppercut uses a true jacketed construction that controls expansion rate, retains bullet weight through penetration, and prevents the over-fragmentation that reduces effective penetration depth in defensive situations
- CCI's proprietary rimfire priming compound is specifically formulated for consistent, reliable ignition in compact carry pistols and short-barreled revolvers where striker energy is lower and ignition conditions are less forgiving than in full-size firearms
- The load is optimized for performance through all .22 WMR platform types including revolvers, semi-automatic pistols, and rifles, ensuring the bullet reaches its designed expansion velocity whether fired from a 2 inch pocket revolver or a longer rifle barrel
Practical Benefits
- The CCI Uppercut 22 WMR (22WMRUP) is the standout defensive choice for shooters who carry .22 WMR revolvers or semi-automatic pistols as primary or backup carry guns, finally providing a factory load built with the same terminal performance standards applied to centerfire defensive ammunition
- The nose skiving design delivers consistent expansion through clothing and common soft barriers, addressing the single biggest weakness of standard .22 WMR hollow points in real-world defensive use
- The 50-round box gives carry shooters enough rounds to verify function in their specific firearm, rotate carry ammunition on schedule, and maintain a reserve without overcommitting on quantity
- The 40-box case is a strong value option for instructors, range operators, and serious rimfire shooters who want to stock a purpose-built defensive load in meaningful quantity
The CCI Uppercut 22 WMR (22WMRUP) is a confidence-building choice for any shooter who relies on a .22 WMR firearm for personal defense and wants a load that was designed from the ground up to expand reliably, penetrate effectively, and perform when it counts.
