CCI Blaser Bulk or Federal Bulk

I use lead bullets.

I used to be able to get my daily lead from auto exhaust emissions but they went lead free.

The plumbing in our city pipes was full of lead, of course the city said it was a safe level of lead, but I moved to the country and have all new copper pipes with lead free solder. Lost my lead there....

Even the ducks I shoot now must be shot with lead free shot. I still hunt pheasants with lead shot though!!!

We have lived for thousands of years ingesting lead! Roman faucets were made of lead, rum stills were made with lead, paint was made with lead.

Now we are nearly lead free.... And for the first time in recorded history the expected lifespan has decreased. Cancer is becoming more prevalent. Children are being diagnosed with ADHD in epidemic proportions.

Coincidence?? Time will tell. Doctors used to tell us Heroin was a wonder drug and should be taken regularly.
 
I like the Federals-the bulk boxes of HP's and the bulk

Auto Match. I have been using them for about 10 years, and have no problems with them.
No bench rest shooter, but a sqirrel hunter and onetime paper puncher.

Sorry guys, not to hijack or anything but I was hoping someone could give me a rundown on the CCI Mini Mags.

I have seen Mini Mag HV, HS, and HP. I'm assuming HV = high velocity, and HP = hollow point? I also notice the grain is different on each....

So for now I've ordered a box of HP and HV....

Sorry again yall, ran the search and came up dry.

CCI mini mags are very good ammo both the RN & HP, I have quite a few on hand. I use this ammo for hunting. I would like to use in my 15-22 but they cost almost double of my plinking ammo. Some people will only shoot the mini-mags. I mainly plink with my 15-22 so I run blazers mainly or I like the fed 510's also.:D
 
Some have had better groups with the Hollow Points vs the round nose when it comes to Mini Mags. Probably a weight issue as the hollow points are 36grain to the round nose 40 grain.

Personally, I don't like blazers, my fingers are just covered in lead and I'm exposed to enough cancer causing agents being in the Aerospace industry, and the fact that they're bulk leaves imperfections that standard mini mags don't have. For some, it's a waste to use anything but bulk when it comes to plinkin, but for me, I wanna eek out every bit of performance when I'm plinkin/target practice (it's the only shooting I do unless coons or coyotes are after my chickens, then I'm head shottin them varmits). It's probably just part of my OCD as far as only shootin Mini Mags, haha. It's just funny when people tell me I'm crazy for spendin under seven bucks for a hundred of them, when I'm used to payin eight bucks for cheap 223's....and that's only for 20 rounds.

....and it's pretty cool seein over seven thousand Mini Mags on the shelf.

Yea I bought the box of blazers just to try, I am a bit ocd when it comes to my firearms as well and dirty ammunition bothers me... Lead and carbon... I'll pass

Anyways I just bought 750rds (two 375 boxes) of the Tactical, as well as two boxes of the Mini Mags. Not too much I can find about the tactical though. However, my gun dealer did talk to a S&W rep who said they are a great round, and from what I can find online he is probably right.

Ahhhh I see, Hollow point and Round nose.... I could have sworn I saw a Mini Mag HS too.... I'm gonna have to look that up again.
