Issues with CCI Mini-Mag ammo

28 February 2010

It’s important that the gun goes “bang” every time; shooting a box of fresh CCI Mini-Mag HP High-Velocity 22LR 36 grain ammo (lot K29Q18), Joe had 2 out of three rounds fail to leave the pipe. I touched off 8 with no failures. I’ll write CCI to see how they want to proceed.

This is the base of the recovered bullet. The powder on the base is clay-like in consistency.
