I would like to say I had never had a misfire out of a cci, but last week I was shooting at a critter in my chicken pen and my very first shot out of my ruger goes "Rhink" no kapow nothing. I work the action catch it to be sure it still has a projectile on the case then shoot the next one which goes off perfect and hits its mark. Later I put that cci velocitor back in the 22 in a different position and dropped the hammer again. Again no kapow. I dropped the round (Now with two difference firing pin notches in it) down a gopher hole.

Once upon a time (ten years ago) the federal 550 bulk packs all shot VERY well for me. They were my hunting round of choice for my old marlin followed closely by cci stingers. The last few years I have noticed that even the bulk 550 round golden bullet remingtons DO seem to group up a bit better for me than the federals or the ccis. Winchesters are so hard to find around here I don't even bother for the most part. Their hyperveolcity stuff (the only thing of theirs I can get easily) shoots ok but much like the cci velocitors the groups open up on me.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
