The Rimfire Report: The Classic Pair - Ruger 10/22 + CCI Mini-Mags

Summary

This article reviews the classic pairing of the Ruger 10/22 Sporter rifle with CCI Mini-Mag 40gr ammunition, specifically Part #30. While it confirms the ammunition's high reliability and consistent higher-than-standard velocity (advertised at 1,235 fps, testing above 1,100 fps) for cycling semi-auto firearms, accuracy testing revealed approximately 2-inch groups at 50 yards, a trade-off for its consistent cycling and affordability around $0.13 per round.
