This is the legendary CCI Mini-Mag of your childhood days. Newly manufactured by CCI, this bulk product is sure to provide many hours of fun.

Each lead round nose bullet is gilded (coated) with a thin copper plating to reduce muzzle build-up and to help the bullet retain its shape during feeding (into the chamber), flight, and to some degree, impact.

Transcript

The famous Mini-Mag brand of 22 long rifle was first introduced in 1963 by CCI. Today CCI is part of the larger ATK parent company, along with Speer, Federal, and lots of other ammo makers. Backed by the state of the art manufacturing clout of ATK, CCI continues to produce Mini-Mags, which is now one of the most popular brands of 22 ammo on the market.

Unlike most of the other common brands of 22 ammo, Mini-Mags are not sold in big bulk packs of 400 or 500 rounds. Instead, they come in these trademark hard plastic 100 round cases. Mini-Mag isn't the only brand that's packaged this way, but it's the most recognizable. Because of the unique name and packaging, there's a little myth and mystery surrounding Mini-Mags.

First of all, despite the name, Mini-Mags are not magnum ammo. They don't have more power or velocity than most other 22 loads. They feature a copper plated, 40 grain, lead round nosed bullet that exits the muzzle of a rifle at about 1,235 feet per second. That rates Mini-Mags as high velocity, but not hyper velocity. Accuracy is better than average, but not as good as a high dollar specialty target load. This 10 shot group was fired from 50 yards using a stock Marlin 795 on a bench rest. With a modest four power optic, we got a group that measured well under an inch, minus the one flyer.

This is more than adequate for any plinking or informal range use, but not quite what you'd want for long range competition. Where the Mini-Mag really shines is its reliability. It's no secret that most 22 ammo, especially in the big value packs, can have hit or miss dependability. In addition, certain firearms just don't play nice with specific brands of ammo.

Mini-Mags, however, seem to be the go-to round if your gun won't feed anything else. Using Mini-Mags seem to automatically increase your chances of consistent feeding and ignition, especially in semiautomatics. Out of the three rifles and three handguns that we used for this video, we did have one feeding failure in our Glock conversion kit, but no other issues.

There were no ignition failures or light strikes, which seems to be the most common problem with 22s. If you want the best chance of your 22 going bang every time, and you still want to shoot on a budget, CCI Mini-Mag represents one of the best balances of performance and price. This load is an excellent choice for the range, but to get the same quality in a hunting load, be sure to check out the hollow point version of the Mini-Mag.

Q: I have purchased a Ruger Mark iv Competition and would like to know if the CCI Mini Mag CPRN is okay to use. or does the copper plating increase the bullet diameter which will cause interference in the bore. Thanks

Posted On: 4/27/2018 By: George

A: It will work very well. The copper layer is very thin, and the bullet diameter after the copper is applied is well within specs. CCI has some of the tightest quality control standards in the industry. This coupled with their amazing quality is what sets them at the top of the rimfire ammo game.
