Never shot any Mini Mags. The 10/22 shows a preference here, all 5 shot groups: From a 513T, groups #3 and #5 are 10 shot groups: Back to the 10/22, in discussion about HV ammo it always preferred W-W Power Points:
I am..........disturbed.

I've killed a bunch of tree rats and ground hogs with them. They have never been anywhere near "very" accurate, except one rifle, but they will usually hang around 1" ,give or take, at 50 yards. Don't remember ever having a misfire or any other problem with them either.
Those who are always shooting off at the mouth usually aren't shooting straight. What do you get when you cross a polar bear with a seal? A polar bear. Did you hear they arrested the devil? Yeah, they got him on possession. www.wvcdl.org

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.

No..Mini Mags don't "suck now" ..They never did.
Its always been good clean, reliable ammo which is more than I can say for Remington ,Winchester and Federal during the last 10 years.
Your particular rifle does not like them in terms of accuracy...In terms of accuracy ,every gun is a law unto itself..It happens.

Mini mags have shot fine in my rifles. This every rifle has ammo it likes has not been my experience, higher grade match ammo always groups better then hv stuff .

I can get slightly better accuracy with low velocity target loads that cost twice as much. But the difference isn't that great. Anything cheaper and accuracy really suffers. Best balance between acceptable accuracy and price for me.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

I shoot mini-mags and Stingers in my Berettas, a Model 21-A and a Model 87, and both give very reliable performance with this ammo.
I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....
