"When I go out to try a new rifle, I keep finding that mini-mags always function, always shoot well, and don't break the bank. I know each rifle has its preferred ammo, but I've never seen one that flat out hated MMs."

I'm in complete agreement with you. I buy some cheaper stuff (Winchester Wildcats and Remington Thunderbolts) for plinking at tin cans, but CCI MiniMags are still my favorites. Rifle, revolver, or semi-auto. I've had great luck with all CCI ammo, Stingers and Velocitors included. They're not cheap, and as you can guess, I only like high-velocity rounds. Some might like sub-sonic rounds, but I have no interest in them.

I like a few subs, but the problem is they don't function as well in semis. If we were to remove semi-autos out of the equation, I think MMs might be less appealing as an all around er... round.

When all I shot was a bolt action, my ammo choices were much less constrained.

CCI Stingers for me

Its been Mini Mags for me for the past 30 years. Theres no HV ammo more consistant and clean burning, than the Mini Mags. They are also extremely accurate for HV ammo.

I use Fiocchi HV copper plated lead round nose. 20 a brick. They shoot consistently well in all my 22s. 3/8 groups or sometimes better at 50yds.

Minimags, CCI standards, and the cheapo Fed 510s have been acquainted with all my .22s

While this subject is up for discussion......hope this doesn't stretch it too far...

I was wondering about the Eley HV 37,40 gn versions

and how about the Lapua Hunter or maybe its Sport, the new HV round that covered Laupa HP - speed ace - standard club?

I tested the Lapua HP and Speed Ace. The HP was better for accuracy, and easily the best HP I tested for accuracy. It produced group sizes half that of the MiniMag. However, the cost is an issue at $78 a brick as I recall. I would rather use Lapua Super Club which is a bit more accurate at $40, and give up a little speed and the HP.

I was not aware Lapua was going to offer anything to replace the HP, Speed Ace, Club, and Super Club. Thought the lowest quality in the new lineup was Center-X, which I believe replaces Master M, but an increased price -- over $80?
