I remember my dad b*tching that Minimags had gone up to a penny apiece.

As a kid I ran CCI minimag and Federal. Didn't matter...both did well.
Hated Remington's waxy crap.

Other guns came along, showed preference for Super X, so just went with that for all.
Did fine for a couple decades.

Minimag in decent supply, my current .22 rifles (two) don't like it.
One does OK with Blazer, so will pick up a couple more bricks.

Dunno if Minimag sucks now, or just have guns that prefer something else. I got some WW Max 42gr (Australian mfg) and my bolt rig liked it.
Ordered 2 bricks. See if this lot # is as well liked.
