Much like other rifle pairings, the Ruger 10/22 and CCI’s high velocity Mini-Mag ammunition is one that almost everyone out there has experience with. While the 10/22 can often be picky with ammo, CCI’s Mini-Mags are often offered up as a flat-out cure for almost any stubborn .22LR autoloader. While this isn’t true in a lot of specific cases, in my decades of shooting rimfire, I’ve found that Mini-Mags do indeed help get a lot of stubborn, dirty, or finicky guns up and running. Similar to
