CCI (Cascade Cartridge Inc.), based in Lewiston, Idaho, manufactures rimfire ammunition, centerfire handgun ammunition, and primers for reloaders and industrial power loads. CCI produced the first Mini-Mag rimfire ammunition in 1963, and in 1975 developed the Stinger, a hypervelocity .22 Long Rifle product. ==History== Founded by Dick Speer (brother of Vernon Speer, who founded Speer Bullets) in the early 1950s, CCI is as of Feb. 2015, a subsidiary of Vista Outdoor, a spinoff of Alliant Techsystems, and currently employs approximately 1100 people.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ATK Company Overview )〕 CCI was once known as the Speer Ammunition Company - the Speer name was associated with bullet manufacturing. It was once a subsidiary of Omark Industries with Speer Bullets, RCBS (formerly the Rock Chuck Bullet Swage company), and Outers. While originally sold only for handloading as an inexpensive substitute for jacketed bullets, this plated bullet has come far. CCI/Speer offers the Gold Dot line, component bullets and commercially loaded premium handgun ammunition using a bonded copper plated hollow point bullet.〔(Speer Gold Dot description ) and patent number 〕〔(Patent 5,079,814 ), for a bonded plated hollow point bullet (the Speer Gold Dot)〕 The Gold Dot line is now in use by many police departments.〔(Comparison of various 9 x 19 mm expanding bullet loads, including the Speer Gold Dot bonded plated bullet )〕 On June 14, 2009 the Minneapolis St. Paul Star Tribune reported that Alliant Techsystems, Edina, and Humbert CTTS SAS were awarded an approximately US$14-million contract to provide Speer GoldDot 9mm ammunition to the French Gendarmerie, French Customs, French Corrections and all 250,000 police officers in France.〔Minneapolis-St.Paul StarTribune. 2009-06-16.
