CCI 22 LR 21 Grain Lead-Free

1
This was my first time with this ammo at the range and the first test of lead free. It was fun to shoot, clean, accurate, an overall pleasure and a great improvement over the dirty Federal stuff I was using. A little more costly, but worth it for the peace of mind.

The only thing that was troublesome that a few times the slide of my M&P 22 wouldn't lock when I shot all my rounds. One of my troubles with this little gun is that I accidentally squeeze the magazine catch I'll have to go back to tease out the problem, I'll wager.

I shot this again today, and am very happy with the cleanliness of it. The Federal I was shooting and even the CCI mini mags seem like mud in comparison. My slide locked after I went through my magazines but there were two or three times I got a failure to load. I am thinking this is just a light ammo thing or maybe a 22lr thing?

Yeah. Equal and opposite reaction and all that.

All kinds of companies are coming out will all kids of options on .22. I've even seen CB Shorts. Subsonics. All kinds of weights from 32 gr up to 40 gr in LR. Plated, round nose, hollow point, all kinds of stuff. Neat.

Aguila makes a 60 gr. subsonic load.
