I just stopped by Cabela's and picked up some Federal 525rd bulk packs for $16.49/ea and used my $25 off a $200 purchase coupon. Not a great deal compared to what they used to be but probably a better deal than we'll see anytime soon!!
Thank's for the heads up. My favorite plinking round, heck no real need for CCI mini-mags when it comes down to it.
Wish it were true ... my Kimber 22lr 1911 conversion does require the Mini-Mags ... the Federals don't have quite enough umph.
Fortunately, they aren't much more expensive.
