Details
If squirrels were capable of comprehending 22 LR ammunition, then they would be terrified of CCI Mini-Mag. This Idaho-made rimfire ammo serves up great performance whether you’re shooting critters or regular old range targets!
This round features the copper-plated hollow point. The bullet’s thin, hard copper exterior assists smooth feeding, and also prevents lead from making direct contact with a firearm’s bore. The bullet’s lighter 36 grain weight translates to the high muzzle velocity that assures steady cycling in a semi-automatic. The 0.125 G1 ballistic coefficient CPHP ought to remain supersonic beyond 40 yards, at which range it still retains about 100 ft lbs of kinetic energy. And if that nose cavity fills up with soft tissue, it will trigger drop-dead terminal expansion.
CCI’s powder burns extra clean to help preserve functionality, and their primers spark up right on command. Straight, cylindrical and strong brass cases complete the whole package!

Q: Has anyone had good luck using this ammo in a Smith & Wesson 41 series or a Ruger Mark IV Tactical Lite?
Both of my pistols run flawlessly with CCI Standard Velocity 40-grain, but I’ve had poor results with other brands. Unfortunately, CCI has been difficult to find lately, both online and in local stores.
If you’ve tried this ammo in either of these pistols, I’d appreciate hearing about your experience, especially regarding reliability and accuracy. Thanks!

A: Hello Cheryl! I cannot promise any kind of performance out of your pistols, which I've neither inspected nor fired. That being said, I have a Ruger Standard – the "Mk I," as it were. I have found this ammo to be perfectly reliable in my much older pistol, for what it's worth. CCI Mini-Mag is widely considered to be pretty darn dependable in the Mk IV, from what I've gathered. I've also read that CCI Mini-Mag works well in a Model 41. Again, I can't guarantee anything having not tested your pistols myself, but I'm confident recommending this ammo for your guns. Even if the Model 41 doesn't like it, then at least the Mk IV will want it!
