History of CCI Ammo

Founded in 1951 by Richard “Dick” Speer in Lewiston, Idaho, CCI (Cascade Cartridge, Inc.) emerged as a pioneer in ammunition manufacturing. Inspired by his brother Vernon Speer’s success with Speer Bullets, Richard applied his mechanical expertise to produce high-quality cases and primers, starting in a small space within his brother’s plant. Initially focused on serving reloaders and competitive shooters, CCI quickly became known for its innovative approach to ammunition production.

Growth and Innovation

In the early years, CCI faced material shortages stemming from World War II but excelled by producing non-corrosive, non-mercuric primers. The addition of Dr. Victor Jasaitis, a Lithuanian chemist and explosives expert, marked a turning point. Under his guidance, CCI developed superior primers and manufacturing processes, solidifying its position as an industry leader.

The farm-turned-factory in Lewiston became a hub for innovation, featuring modern laboratories and specialized manufacturing facilities. CCI’s commitment to quality was evident when their primers set a handloader accuracy record in 1955 and earned government contracts specifying their unique standards.

Key Products and Innovations

CCI introduced the world’s first hypervelocity .22 Long Rifle ammunition with its Stinger line, cementing its reputation for cutting-edge rimfire products. Additional innovations include:

  • Mini-Mag™: A popular rimfire cartridge known for reliability.
  • Velocitor™: The fastest 40-grain .22 LR load available.
  • Segmented Hollow Point and Silhouette: Advanced rimfire offerings.
  • Hypervelocity .22 Magnum Rimfire: Another first for CCI.

These products, alongside improvements in primers, have made CCI a favorite among sport shooters, hunters, and reloaders.

Commitment to Excellence

Today, CCI remains a cornerstone of the Lewiston community, employing over 1,000 people and operating cutting-edge facilities, including a 37,000-square-foot addition completed in 2017. This high-tech expansion focuses on .22-caliber rimfire ammunition production, designed by CCI’s in-house engineers for superior efficiency and quality.

In addition to providing top-notch ammunition, CCI actively supports the National Shooting Sports Foundation and engages in advocacy for the Second Amendment.
