CCI Velocitors in Bentz Chamber

[Peakbagger46]

Are they safe in my bolt gun with a match chamber? I heard the stingers aren't but understand the velocitors don't have a long case like the stingers.

Velocitors are made with a standard 22 lr case. Should work fine in any chamber. If the bullet engages the rifling far enough 0you could have extraction problems. My kimber of oregon has a fairly tight chamber and everything has worked so far.

Cool! Have a couple boxes on the way.

Supposedly a gold dot type bullet too. Controlled expansion.

It's just a cup tip regular.22lr with a bit more powder.. Bullet is very similar to the Winchester Dyna point.
I like the new Winchester hyper velocity equivalent better. It has a true hollow point.

It won't hurt anything. Just make sure your bolt is fully closed. I have a match chamber rifle that is so tight that some shells will not chamber. That is tighter than a Bentz chamber.
