Something the bench shooters stay away from is cleaning rods.It's been speculated that a cleaning rod causes more wear than shooting it,many opinions on that.I've been using a pull thru made out of heavy weedeater line,mushroomed on one end and sharp on the other,and slide a patch on.
Yes ,I think highly of cci mini-mags,and less of stingers if you want any penetration at all.Stingers blow up even in handguns to include pocket autos.
Some folks just don't give the lowly rimfire the credit due.It's highly accurate with ammo it likes,and within it's range is quite deadly.
My Nephew killed his first buck with my .218 BEE,He was afraid of recoil and liked this gun[like his bb gun],neck shot at 117 yds from a prone rest.As a teen on my first ranch job I used a rem 511 with deadly precision out to 150 yds with a weaver duplex 2-7 scope.Ground Squirrls got to running at the sound of an engine.
I just bought a brick of blazers to try again after years,have to be better than rem bulk.
