Hi,
CCI Maxi-Mag is just one brand of .22WMR ammo. Original bullet weight for the .22WMR was 40gr, but now a lot of the rounds use a lighter bullet and higher velocity. I don't think you can get anything other than jacketed rounds in .22WMR. The velocity is high enough that you would lead the barrel. Only lead rounds I've found are the Winchester .22WRF loads which seem to work OK in my 9422M. Not sure if they will cycle in all other .22WMR guns, but they should work fine in a wheelgun. I haven't chrony'd them, but I think they run down around the same velocity as .22LR.
