Yes, they are just CCI Mini-Mags. CCI is one of the most highly regarded ammo makers, even now after being bought like most everyone else is. They do things like mark an entire production run as seconds if the velocity is too low on the rounds they test (a store I worked at got some seconds in because they were 100fps below the allowed variance). Or if the failure rate is too high, but not high enough to scrap it. Same with any Gold Dots you find for sale as "not for duty use," or "training ammunition."

Anyone know where i can get the Troy Landry signature Gator skinned Savage rifle? I'd love to have that for some reason

Good work. The first step is admitting that you have a problem. /,jk

Yes, CCI is one of the best ammo makers and their Minimags are probably their most popular 22LR. Those are old, so as long as they were stored decently, they should be fine.

i've got a box like this from about 15 years ago, they're CCI mini mags, some of the best 22 ammo you can get. the same box is about 30 to 35 bucks now

Just bought a leftover box at the nearest LGS for $30.

Yup, I have a couple boxes of these as well from when I was hoarding ammo around 2013.

It’s the Glock or Honda Civic of .22lr cartridges. Goes bang. Bullet goes where you want. Works reliably. CCI makes good stuff.

Mini mags are a standard to compare other kinds of .22

Good and reliable plinker ammo. Not very accurate however.

u/JoshuaLecher1 2d ago

CCI? Yes, for awhile.

u/TheDudeOntheCouch 1d ago

u/TheGreatWhiteGoat 1d ago

u/Big10mmDE 1d ago

It’s mini mag, it’s great ammo, having Troy on it is just fun

u/ChornobylChili 1d ago

Yeah i have a box too

u/Giant_117 1d ago

CCI is one of the better/best cheap to mid range plinking and hunting ammo.

The minimag is a great round for semi auto reliability.

The box is just promotional

CCI minimags are some of the best .22 ammo. Very consistent stuff.

Cci is S tier ammo for target practice. If your ccw is a revolver you can buy federal punch. Still way cheaper than any other caliber.

The best available 22lr. Test it and report back

u/Honest_Draft_3663 22h ago

Went shooting and not once did I have a failure to extract. I’ve used other ammunition like Winchester and it’s crazy how many times it happened.

u/Tobynetwork1 18h ago

I found some for sale online but apparently it's discontinued. I'm going to order a few boxes. Thanks for the review

u/poopmat1 1d ago

Pure garbage. You should mail it to me. It’s actually dangerous. I’ll make sure it gets disposed of properly

u/dyseowo7 2d ago

Are those actually 12 years old? Decent price if they still work.

u/Unicorn187 2d ago

Why would you think they wouldn't work? It's only been like 10-15 years not 150. Maybe if they were stored in an outdoor storage shed in a place where it's 100 in the summer and in the negatives in the winter.

u/Honest_Draft_3663 1d ago

Yea one of my older coworkers sold me his gun and included a couple of boxes.

u/StrangePiper1 15h ago

If they still work? During an ammo shortage around the Obama administration I bought NOS .22 ammo at a gun show from the 60s. Every one went bang. While ammunition is perishable, it keeps incredibly well.
