CCI or Non-CCI???

What's CCI mean, please educate me the pros and cons. I tried to look it up but didn't come up with anything.

Don't shoot much CCI ammo (22LR only)....... but have used a crap load of their primers.

CCI is just a brand.

Ya know,I have no idea what CCI stands for? I have shot a bunch of that brand of ammo and it is accurate.I like the Stingers,32gr fragmented varmint load in subsonic & Green Tag Competition(big buck$ but super accurate).

Off the top of my head, I think that CCI stands for Cascade Cartridge Industries. I've used a lot of their .22 ammo over the years, mostly their Standard Velocity brand. It was always consistently accurate, and reliable (always goes bang). Their primers are very good also, but mostly I've used Winchester, because over the years the Winchester seem to feed through the Dillon better. I've heard that CCI has changed their primer size and now they feed through the Dillons very well.

Well as referring to CCI ammo. I went to Walmart to get some 22LR, and the CCI with the price of $7 for 100 rds, but with the Federal i can get 550 rds for $13. So i don't know if the CCI has any better side to it for that much of the price?

The ammo you were looking at is CCI Mini-Mag. It is more consistent than Federal or Remington bulk packs. It depends on what you are doing with it. Shooting when you need it to go bang and be consistent, the CCI is worth the extra money. Otherwise, I shoot Remington or Federal Bulk Pack.

So the Federal non-CCI would still be good for shooting right? It's not gonna make the gun dirty or anything compared to the CCI?

Note again that CCI is a brand, not a type. Your firearm may perform better with Federal over CCI or vice-versa.
