First let me say my hunting rifle does not shoot any of the high velocity ammo accurately, so that eliminates me from the market. But what I'm referring to is admiration for CCI Mini Mags. It's sold in 2 variations... 40 gr RN at 1235 ft/sec and 36 gr HP at 1260 ft/sec. Both are copper coated. I understand that in the past it has been one of the more readily available rimfire ammo. Now, at least where I live, Aquila is the most readily available.
Federal makes 38 gr HP copper coated rimfire ammo that goes 1260 ft/sec. and a copper coated 40 gr RN at 1240 ft/sec. In my nylon 66 and pistols it is more reliable than the mini mags. I'm not going to say it never misfires or misfeeds, but almost never. The mini mags are a pain to shoot. Besides, heavier bullet at the same velocity means more energy.
I dont have a dog in this fight one way or the other.... just wondering why everyone likes mini mags?
