How much more expensive is this than the standard HP CCI 36 gr. Mini-Mag, please?

I bought about 600 rounds of that stuff for my EDC NAA Mini-Revolver. I won’t be changing over to the segmented stuff for that one, I want that slug to stay in one piece for the pesky two-legged varmints. For the four-legged variety, I may give the segmented stuff a try…

I think he gets that impression from the way you write about and present the ammo in the article, which is acceptable and informative and ‘review like’ but the way its worded and presented makes it seem sort of ‘advertisement’ like.

Its titled ‘This Great 22LR Load Puts Pests Down Fast’ then uses wording a graphics that ‘showcases’ the ammo and use then at the end you go “…Pick up some CCI Mini-Mag Segmented Hollow Points at Brownells HERE …” (with ‘HERE’ being a link to Brownells).

So it does sort of read like an ‘advertisement’ with the way its worded and presented even if you didn’t intend it to be.

Bud I purchased this ammo and CCI has no idea this article exists. It’s obviously a very positive review, but it’s an honest review based on my personal experience with ammo I bought from a store. We built our entire reputation on honest reviews and burned — in some cases very seriously — bridges with major manufacturers because of it. Your sarcastic cynicism can eat a satchel of richards.

Lots of 6 and 7 year olds had .22’s where I lived back then, I wasn’t the only one. We never wanted for .22 ammo, there was always someone who would supply us, for example parents, the local grocery store (for doing chores for them), even the sheriffs department patrols would just stop when they saw us kids out with our .22’s and give us some ammo as they carried .22’s in their trunks for the occasional ‘varmint’ calls and always had .22 ammo for those.

Of all the guns I have in many different calibers and as much as I enjoy them, for me the .22’s are still the most fun to shoot.

But no e CCI advertisement.

That is a well fed rat!
