CCI Mini Mags

Can't tell without trying.
One gun will be a tack driver with one type of ammo, another will spray them.
Part of working with .22's is trying different ammo.
CCI makes good ammo.
 
CCI MiniMag is great ammo in my opinion. It is definitely on the expensive side compared to 500rd bulk packs though. Great reliability and clean.
 
They're not the greatest. "Hot" loads don't necessarily mean "accurate" loads, and that pretty much sums up mini mags. Check out your gun store and ask them for high velocity target 22lr and there should be a few choices even cheaper than the mini mags that will perform much better.
That being said I bought a case of them for my Kimber 22lr conversion kit. The slide needed the extra kick to cycle properly, in such a case the mini mags kicked ass...
 
Work great for me.

They work great for me. They're not as expensive as the hyper velocity. They have reliable priming, which is my major beef with the cheapo stuff. Sure, you can save ten bucks a brick, if you feel it's worth clearing duds out every tenth shot. Not me. Mini mags have consistant charges too. Not crack, pop, pow, like Winchester Wildcats for example. Overall, they are a great choice for mid range ammo, just the kind of thing semi-auto 22s are made to shoot. :)
 
my 10/22 doesn't digest any cci ammo well.....

What you have to do with .22 ammo, is to test as many different loads as possible and find the one (or 2, or 3) that your rifles likes best....

If you are looking for target ammo, try to stay below 1080fps (speed of sound), rumor has it that when it passes that speed (up or down), it causes shock waves that upset the harmony, or frequency of the flight. Some say the crack you hear is the sound barrier crossing.
 
My CZ 452 loves these. Well, I think consistent 1/2" at 50 yards is pretty good anyway...

The few groups I've shot at 100 yards were around 1" or so (it was a little windy that day) but I can hit spent shotshells at 100 consistently.

I ordered 2 bricks because the AA kit for the Glock recommends them.
