CCI Mini Mag 22LR, 40 gr, Copper Plated Round Nose?

Ordered! Academy touts "Free Ship to Store", so this seemed great. $10.95 S&H showed up on my Order Summary.
Started online Chat. "No free ship to store on Firearms, sorry. I can give you a 10% Off Code, though."
Sold!

If you got a SGC for $399 and then got 10% off that price, you did very well, ESquared - congrats.

Just a note to add about the Speed-D-Loader. They make five sizes, I got the 11 round one years ago. Works great for my mare’s leg. I can drop 15 shorts in it and shoot all month.

This link is to Midway where all but the short tube are out of stock but give you the details of the different sizes.

Better than I ever expected! In my hands, taxes, shipping, FFL for under $395. Christmas in July!

I think Seabee is the first forum member I've come across with a Mare's Leg. How do you like it and what do you do with it? Truck gun?

[BigAl52]

Esquared if you google up ammoseek.com you can find all kinds of 22 ammo. I really like CCI mini mags but I also use some federal high velocity. Ammo Seek gives you a directory of online sellers of 22 ammo and there current price or sale price. Just be sure you compare freight costs. Some places list cheap prices and over charge for freight to make up the cheap advertised price.

I only have the one little 22 lr. Sir Henry has a couple more at least. One that he built with a .22 magnum barrel. Henry doesn’t make them that way yet. Sure wish they would.
I just use it for plinking at the range. But have no doubt that if I needed to put small game on the table it would get it done. It is a ton of fun to shoot and takes up very little space at the range.

I've found my .22's (Ruger 10-22, Sig P229 and Marlin 783) work really well with Federal 40gr plated. I think the Federal # is 710:

I've never had a leading problem in a .22. The outside lube seems to prevent that.

I do find copper spits less in my revolvers.

CCI is my go to for acceptable accuracy without trial and error. I usually use the mini-mags. Sometimes, I will find an ammo that shoots more accurately in a given rifle, but can't say I recall any that should CCI poorly.
