Dunno - but at that price, I just ordered 4 bricks!
Internet scuttlebutt indicates its decent enough plinking ammo from Mexico.

 

Tried it...

WOW...

My 12 Gauge sawed off can do that! That's for being the Guinea Pig.. darn shame.

 

Yeah, well, somebody had to do it, right?

Needless to say, I wasn't impressed.

 

Ive got some of the 40gr HV. Shot pretty decent out of my 10/22. 1/2" groups out of my 10/22 at 25y. Not horrible for the price. functioned fined in all my stuff.

 

That was 200 yards though...The case of Armscor 36 grain I stocked up on during the drought probably wouldn't do much better.

Frank

 

I think it'll be just FINE at 25 yards!

 

O.K. - now I get it... someone need to post up a 50 yd. target shot with the stuff... 200 yd...??? WTH... get a .223 rifle.

 

I have some of the green box still. I will shoot some at 50y. I am planning on going friday.

 

CI stands for Crap Inside, let us know how it works

 

WTH... get a .223 rifle.

Have two, not enough of a challenge.
200 yards with rimfire is highly entertaining.
Give it a try. End that close range boredom.

Apply the half third rule of rimfire accuracy.
Half the distance produces a third of the spread.

200 yards 12 inches of spread
100 yards 4 inches
50 yards 1.3 inches
25 yards 0.4 inches

Apply the rule to the results at 200 yards you can see just how poor the quality is.

18 inches...6 inches...2 inches...0.7 inch at 25 yards? Not good.

 

I ordered a case

 

Has anyone tried it in a pistol yet?

 

functions fine in my ruger MKIIs. 4", 5.5", 6" and 6.87" barrel lengths. about as accurate as all the other bulk junk.

 

Hopefully the ghost of Dick & Vernon Speer will come back and beat these asshats to the curb for stealing their name. Cascade Cartridge Inc as everyone knows correctly stands for CCI, Lewiston Idaho! Hencho en Estados Unidos!

 

I don't think their ghosts will come back and beat them to the curb for stealing their name.

THEY opened a CCI Lewiston, Idaho-type plant in Mexico back in 1959. It was eventually taken over by Mexico when THEY closed it. It's Mexican-made ammo.

IHMSA80x80, do you have a source for THEY closed it?

 

Of course you are correct I fondly remember the 'good 'ole boys from Lewiston" ad's I think it ended in the 1950's But I'm old and I forget stuff.

Hey! check out this bargain! (not cheap) ammo https://www.ebay.com/itm/Crow-Shoot...mfire-Ammunition-Cartridges/303098073870?hash=item46920d930e:g:xOsAAOSwxmNc7H1Z

 

I wonder how long THAT'S gonna last on eBay! I'm surprised they haven't been shut down.

 

It's so funny that this is for sale at what $12.99 a brick. Last weekend at an auction at least ten bricks of this sold and some of the buyers were bidding it up to $30-35.00 a brick. It's amazing that some people think we are still in an ammo crunch, if they would just look online.

 

Ladies & gents,

CI is, indeed, related to CCI:

http://22box-id.com/world/Mexico.pdf

CASCADE INTERNATIONAL S.A. Established in 1959, this company is a joint venture with the Cascade Cartridge Co. of the U.S.A. They have produced .22s under the CCI and CI brands. Their offices and factory is located San Luis Potosi, S.L.P. They seem to have only sold their production in Mexico and have not exported private label boxes.

I tried a couple of different CI high velocity types and found they shoot OK. Not great, just OK for plinking.
The CI std velocity “target” ammo was very inconsistent. Quite a few rounds (at least one round per 5 rd magazine) sounded like they were high velocity and the point of impact was 2” different at 50 yd.
I might buy more HV if it was dirt cheap and use it in my pistols but I won’t waste any more money on the SV.

 

didnt get to the 50y bench, just didnt want to spend all day in the heat, but did put some CI HV, and some CCI mini mags, as well as some CCI std vel, through my feddersen barrel 10/22 at 25y. this lot of CI HV has shot really well for me. I am down to my last few hundred rounds of it. I am sure the next case I get will be garbage with my luck, but it was only $12 a brick so I really dont care. so 10 shot groups, 25y, 9x nikon. this lot shoots pretty close to cci.

 

For reference what was the deal price? It's out of stock now but it would be nice to know the deal price for future reference. Thanks!

 

$12.99/brick. I bought 4.

 

i will pass

and stick with my "tried and true" Aguilla, I have had excellent results.

 

I figured it was cheap. There is a guy on ar15.com who's been trying to sell 3 bricks of CI since last September. His "reduced" price is now $20 per brick....

 

He must have bought them during the shortage?

 

I have shot a couple of bricks of the 40 gr. HV ammo. Bought it near the end of the .22LR shortage. Ordered online and I'm sure I paid at least $40 a brick. Cost wasn't really an issue at the time. It was more about being able to find it and order before they sold out.

Anyway...Worked great in all my .22 handguns. A M&P22C, M&P22 Fullsize and a Sig Mosquito. I don't recall any problems at all with it.
Worked well in our Savage 64 FXP and Mossberg 715T also.

Accurate enough for range plinking. Actually, ammo is probably more accurate than I am capable of.

 

out of curiosity did you order from them?
