Cci Mini Mag Hp

[shropshire dan 467]

Hi anyone used the above round for rabbits?

On the cci website the figures for this round are impressive for the price. My local charges £8.50 for 100 so a preety cheap round. Anyone had any experiance bad or good with these. I'm using a 1977 brno mod 2

Thanks In advance

I shoot mag techs through my mod 2. Really good groupings. Not personally tried the cci, but I know my rounds cost me £6.90 per 100. Remember though, the same make rifle will shoot rounds differently. Each rifle is unique, so grab a few boxes of everything, go paper punching, and work out which shoots the best for you then stick to them. A round that hits but costs slightly more, is better than a cheap round that takes several shots to shoot a rabbit.

I do recommend trying the mag techs. I compared a load of rounds on some clay blocks (more by curiousity of different rounds to be honest) and the mag techs have just as much penetration, but have a huge amount of pressure compared to the others. I regularly pop eye balls on my rabbits, which I don't see with eleys or Winchesters. Of course, if you head shot every shot, it makes no difference, but for those accidental gut shots, I find it still stops them out right.

Remington are similar in the fact there slightly harder than the rest

Forgot all about the remmy's to be honest. I here alot of people saying about shooting with a .17 at 100+ yards, but imo the .22 is the perfect tool for rabbits. It can shoot in tighter spots than the .17, despite the ricochets, and the rounds are way cheaper, doesnt destroy the meat and I maintain that while the .17 can shoot at 130 yards, I can shoot comfortably all day long at yards and still head shot, which is plenty, especially if walking land.

i have owned 2 hmr`s a 1517 thumb-hole and a cz sold them both but still own a 22lr and probably always will

[shropshire dan 467]

I am cleared for both hmr and .22lr and after using the .22lr I'm not bothering with a .17 I am putting in for a .223 or .243 for fox and the odd deer with the .243. The .22 for me is perfect quiet, cheap and more than capable

Try Lapua X-Zones or X-Targets if you can get 'em. They're sold in France under the "AKAH" brand, but it says "manufactured by Lapua" on the bottom of the box.

 

They both shoot nice, tight groups at 65 yards out of my Zastava. They're only available in Lead Round Nose, but they drop coypus dead in their tracks and don't come out the other side of the skull. Excellent vermin round, and they're more accurate with my set-up than Winchesters, Remingtons or CCIs (which are very tight in the chamber).

 

Tried RWS HPs, which are twice the price of anything else in France, and they grouped the same as Winchester Super X (worse than the Lapuas).

Thanks coypu hunter will try them
