The complex also included modern laboratories to allow the company to research and innovate in the world of ammunition. This lead to the hiring of Dr. Victor Jasaitis, a refugee from Lithuania, which was illegally occupied by the Soviet Union at the time.
As a result of the secret treaty between the USSR and Nazi Germany , Lithuania was forcibly incorporated into the Soviet Union twice — once during the war and once after. This was never recognized by any country outside of the Warsaw Pact nations. The Western world continued to consider the Baltic States to be illegally occupied. And while the numbers are a bit opaque, tens if not hundreds of thousands of Lithuanians fled the Red Army, both during and after the war, among them Dr.
His work developed new and innovative chemicals, as well as revolutionary primer manufacturing processes. He remained with the company for 26 years, helping them to stand at the forefront of ammunition innovation in the United States. Perhaps this is how CCI was able to turn out such a superior quality primer. He averaged. One group came in at. This was groundbreaking and revolutionary at the time, but by no means the last championship won with CCI primers.
All told, the CCI complex includes its own metal fabrication shop, tool and die shop, a chemical and physical research facility, among other specialized, dedicated areas — all encompassing seven buildings sitting on six acres. This is where Doc worked. By the late 60s, Omark Industries purchased CCI and turned its focus onto sporting ammo and components, making it their in-house source of loads for the powder-actuated tools they manufactured. Speer retired with his wife to Chesapeake Bay, but never lost the enterprising spirit that allowed CCI to compete with much larger ammunition manufacturers.
He invented a tennis ball serving machine, the Apollo Wizard , which quickly became the gold standard in its field. Two years later, he became the first person to figure out how to get a serving machine to give a ball some spin and went ahead and patented that while he was at it.
He sold this company as well before he passed away in In the years since, CCI revolutionized and dominated the reloading market, with comprehensive primer improvements like smooth feeding through automated equipment, reduced residue in non-magnum primers, improved primer seating, and better sensitivity.
They have also perfected the first hypervelocity. CCI has not stopped growing as a technological leader and innovator in the world of ammunition. In August , crowds turned out in Lewiston for the ribbon-cutting ceremony for a 37,square-foot addition to the old chicken farm. The new high-tech addition to the facility will crank out. The goal is not only a superior product, but also a reduction in overall production time, allowing the organization to better meet market needs.
Beyond providing superior ammo, CCI is a member of the National Shooting Sports Foundation and remains engaged in legislative and regulatory challenges to the Second Amendment.
Have tried other brands and they fail, might as well throw rocks. Live in a semi populated area and need to use 22 shorts to thin the squirrel population in my yard.
This product gets the job done. No complaints at all ". I had very good luck. When I got in my early 20's I brought a Browning Buck Mark to take with me when I was deer hurting, because squirrels would to always come under your deer stand so at the end of the day I would use it for them.
After a while I would hunt squirrels with the buck mark and stinger's, and at 61 I still use stinger's but I have upgraded to a Ruger Mark IV I got it because it is easier to clean.
I also still have the Mossberg. This is a grain 2. It is designed for use on varmints including up to large varmints like coyotes. Another highly popular varmint load is the Stinger. This hypervelocity is achieved by increasing the cartridge length to allow more powder, yet it still remains within SAAMI 22 Long Rifle pressure standards and is loaded with a lighter grain 2.
The Stinger can be easily identified by its longer nickel-plated casing. Quik-Shok, now known as Segmented hollow point , loads are copper-plated segmented hollow-points that fragment into 3 sections on impact. These are intended to cause quick disruption on varmint type game.
CCI offers Quik-Shok in a grain 2. Dick decided to make cases to service this small but active market. He left Seattle and joined Vernon in Lewiston, Idaho. In a small room at the Speer plant, he began production of these special cases using an impact extrusion process. Although Speer's case-making process was sound, the quality of the raw material was not.
In the years after WWII, most stocks of cartridge brass had been depleted for the war effort. Faced with an untenable situation, Speer turned to a different path. Component primers for reloaders were in short supply.
