CCI Mini-Mag .22 LR High Velocity 40 Grain Segmented Hollow Point – 100 Rounds (Box)

CCI Mini-Mag .22 LR High Velocity in the 40 grain segmented hollow point is one of the more interesting boxes in the rimfire case, and for good reason. It combines the reliability the Mini-Mag line is known for with a bullet engineered to break into three pieces on impact. Each box holds 100 rounds.

CCI loads this rimfire round to the same spec box after box, and it shows on the target. That consistency is the whole reason the Mini-Mag name carries weight with people who shoot .22 seriously.

What CCI Mini-Mag .22 LR Segmented Hollow Point Does Differently

The segmented hollow point is scored so the nose separates into three segments on impact while the base continues forward. Instead of one wound path you get several, which is why it has become a popular choice for pest control and small game.

At 40 grain and loaded to high velocity, this round has the speed to make that segmentation work. Velocity drives the separation, so this is not a bullet design that would function properly in a subsonic loading.

It suits varmint shooters, farm and property owners, and anyone who wants a rimfire round that does more than punch a caliber sized hole. Range shooters buy it too, simply because it groups well and runs clean.

Key Features

• 100 rounds per box for a full session without restocking
• 40 grain segmented hollow point that breaks into three parts on impact
• High velocity loading that drives reliable segmentation
• Brass cases you can collect and reload if that is part of your routine
• Consistent ignition that keeps semi automatic actions cycling
• Clean enough burning to keep long sessions comfortable

Specifications and Their Practical Effect

Forty grain is the standard .22 LR bullet weight, so CCI Mini-Mag .22 LR in this loading shares a point of impact with most of the other ammunition your rifle sees. That makes it easy to zero on cheap practice rounds and switch over for actual field work.

High velocity in rimfire terms means the bullet travels above the speed of sound. Expect the accompanying crack, and understand that a suppressed .22 will be noticeably louder with this ammunition than with a subsonic load.

Brass cases handle high velocity pressures cleanly and eject reliably. They also make brass collection simple if you sort and save your fired cases for salvage or reloading.

One hundred rounds per box is the useful count for this kind of ammunition. Pest control tends to consume rounds in ones and twos over weeks, so a large box that stays sealed between outings makes good sense.

Use, Care and Compatibility

Any .22 Long Rifle chamber will accept this round, and the high velocity loading tends to cycle stubborn semi automatics that choke on standard velocity ammunition. Tube fed lever guns and bolt actions handle it without complaint.

Check your zero when you switch to it. Different loads print differently even at the same bullet weight, and a five shot group at your working distance takes two minutes and removes all doubt.

Clean the bore at the end of a heavy session. Rimfire fouling accumulates faster than centerfire fouling, and a rimfire that has gone a thousand rounds without a brush will tell you so on the target.

Store boxes cool, dry and off bare concrete, and keep more on hand than you plan to use. Rimfire supply is unpredictable, and a load this specialized is the first thing to disappear when shelves get thin.

For farm work, varmints and anyone who wants their rimfire to punch above its weight, CCI Mini-Mag .22 LR in the segmented hollow point is hard to beat. Keep a box in the truck and a box on the shelf. This ammunition ships straight to your door wherever state and local law allows.
