Some of my viewers have asked if CCI AR-Tactical rimfire ammo, which is designed for the AR platform, will cycle in standard .22 pistols. Today we find out when I fire this ammo through a rifle and several handguns.
I have got to say I really like your videos. I love the way you and your son get along. Thank you so much. I will continue watching as long as you put them out.
CCi has always been good to me so this doesn't surprise me but that Sig is a nice rifle. That last shot was the icing on the cowboy hat? haha. Great video. Love you guys
You may want to start bringing razors to the range with your other gear, lol. You know, an old barber chair somewhere near the truck might look good out there, lol.
@@mixup98 Sure would, and I'm sure you'd come up with some creative "competitions" for you and your son, lol. Great content as always. Stay safe and stay cool, we're in that heat advisory too. 🥵 🤠
Problem with 22lr is that you shoot far more with it than other calibers. But amount of fun it brings for price is still on one best ratio you can spend for good time.
The point of these things is, the powder charge is designed to be strong enough to cycle semi autos reliably. I’ve never had that issue with 10/22, it’s even ran subsonic no issue. But apparently some semi auto blowbacks are picky about how much velocity the bolt has, on recoil.
Some years ago I remember participating in a forum thread where people compared the regular Mini-mags with the Tactical rounds. My recollection was that the Tactical rounds seemed to be virtually identical to Mini-mags, but that the Tactical rounds seemed to have more wax on the projectiles and the projectiles may have had a slightly different shaped nose.
I have the same sig 522 classic. I saw your original video years ago. Been a viewer ever since. They are bullet delivery devices of the highest quality 👌
Your accuracy test is valid. You truly know how to make that gun rest and get trophy style results. Some other RU-vidrs accuracy test is nothing but a wobbling joke.
Don't tell anyone but we usually check the direction of the wind before we shoot shaving cream. It wouldn't be any fun if the wind was blowing away from us 😁
The 10/22 is reliable, relatively inexpensive, easy to maintain, and is one of the best selling rifles of all time. You can't go ever go wrong with a 10/22 carbine. A rimfire AR is an excellent training firearm, especially if you own a centerfire AR-15 rifle. It really comes down to personal preference, but both platforms are popular with American shooters.
Great video ... liked the presentation and the shooting range, we shoot outdoors too. I've shot a lot of this same ammo, a Mom & Pop hardware store up the street sells it in those 300 round bricks. yes! Good ammo!
It's always a good time with some decent 22lr's. After your last video, I was gonna go to my sportsman's club after work last Monday, but when I got there someone took all the plywood back stops for the range. Always good to see you and your son out together.
OMG, mini-mag has gone TACTlCOOL". Gotta put on my tacti-cool running shoes and dash off- in a tactical manner, of course - and buy these. A guy can't have too much tacticality at his disposal. Maybe I'll pick up a tactical Big Mac on my way home. Remember the motto: "Wherever you go, go tactical".
We have about 400 rounds of this ammo, after shooting some I've been sitting on the rest of it...the accuracy and consistency impressed me, the slightly higher price a small turn off...not sure the best application of this ammo, seems too good to be plain range fodder...
Thank you, guys! Gotta love those PCCs. Opinions on a .22 PCC for home defense? I'm thinking about a .22 for my spouse. She's not a fan of the 5.56... or the 12 gauge.
@@gregv123 Thanks Greg! She had spinal surgery around her neck this year, so you can understand why I want to limit recoil for her... yet provide something she can use. Much obliged!
I seem to remember reading an article a good while ago that talked about how S.W. got with CCI to come up with a round that would run reliably in the S.W. 15-22. It appears that when the 15-22 first came out it didn’t run well with the common, standard velocity, lead bullet. Apparently bumping up the velocity to 1200 and using a copper washed bullet solved the cycling/reliability issues that plagued the 15-22 when it first came out. I think CCI named it “AR TACTICAL” as a nod to S.W. for the joint project to fix their “AR 22”..Anyway, I’m pretty old but that’s what I seem to remember……😎 I know they had the MINI MAG but they wanted something specific for the 15-22 and it’s also just a bit less “zippy”…..
Light 'em up! Good example of how a .22 LR sounds when it's supersonic vs. subsonic. Pretty easy to pick up the "crack" of the rifles when the projectiles are moving >1150 fps, vs. no "crack" when they fall below the speed of sound. I bet that smelled good around there - the sweet smell of smokeless propellant. Fun and informative video!
It's good see you & Ed having some gun fun outdoors; I miss .22 plinking out in the woods with my dad, uncles, & cousins. The inconsistent velocities surprised me, esp coming from CCI.
22LR...... tactical, had to laugh 🤣, those two just don't go together. And just like you don't piss into the wind, you don't shoot shaving cream cans when you are downwind hahaha Thanks for another fun video.
@8:11 had me almost spit out my cereal. Hilarious. Thanks for this vid. Glad you reviewed this ammo because some people say it not as reliable as CCI Mini Mag. How many Failures did you end up with out of the box?
Hello nicktrue. Not one single failure and that is the honest truth. When I was editing my video I was hoping that the sound effect on the Bobcat pistol would cause someone to spit out their cereal. 😁
I don't do that anymore because a youtube algorithm determines that I am shooting an automatic weapon, which apparently isn't allowed anymore, and my video would be subjected to restrictions.
CCI comes out with new products but it never makes it too the stores. I haven't seen uppercut yet and my local gun stores can't get it, so I guess we wont be among the elete that gets the ammo and we lowley shooters cant get shit.
I only ever see this one online. Same with Uppercut. But judging from the reviews of the Uppercut on RU-vid, you're not missing out on anything special there.
Hello Steve. We usually try to get to the range about 7am so we don't have to set up a canopy, but they might have to change in the near future. I have a CMMG .22 conversion kit for my AR-15 and I have done several videos on it, but I haven't shot the CCI Tactical ammo through it.
What a video mixup 🎉 you're entertaining us in that excessive heat . Really appreciate your contribution for the global RU-vid community. Keep shooting 🎉
Hey Mixup98! If you could only have a 22lr rifle and a 22lr handgun to take with you, what would it be and why? How about a video on that! As always good to see you and your son out there having fun. I took it for granted all the times i didnt go out with my pops as he isnt as physical now. on a side note, would be cool if you did a video of how you got into guns when and how it all started! Hopefully that will challenge other youtubers to do the same, i think its a great awareness as we need it more than ever! Take care sir!
Good question regarding the rimfire firearms. I have shot lots of .22 rifles over the last fifty+ years but my first choice for a rimfire rifle would be a Ruger 10/22 simply because they work, parts are easy to find, and Ruger BX-25 magazines are extremely reliable. My eyes aren't what they used to be so my rifle would have a good quality red dot on it. Choice of pistol takes a little more thought. My choices would be either a Ruger Mark 4 pistol or a Browning Buckmark. Both are accurate and extremely reliable. I really like my Taurus TX22 but if I had to choose only one pistol I don't think it would be a polymer pistol.
just repackaged mini mags at a higher price!! let me ask ya a question when it's cloudy out or in a shady area do you have trouble with your chronograph? we seem to get nothing but bad readings on cloudy days!
I always take a few test shots before I turn on the camera and yes, I sometimes I get bad readings. I usually shoot early in the morning and I try to keep the sun to either side of my chronograph, even on cloudy days, which seems to work the best.
@@mixup98 just wondering if it was our chrony or something to some of what's been written on here we normally don't even bother trying to get readings when we've got heavy clouds anymore!
Digging that Sig. Not to hijack, but this vid reminded me of the time my friend and I went shooting out on our favorite fire road. He had his 10-22 and I had my old Marlin 60. I had the Marlin so dialed in that I got bored and started unscrewing gallon water bottle tops at 20 or so yards. He still owes me $20.
Mixup, that's not a fair using that Sig 522....you could load that rimfire ammo backwards, upside-down or even laying it on the barrel, and that 522 will fire it every trigger pull. Sig made one fine 22 rifle back then.
@nicktrue7915 The pistol brace fight continues in the courts. There was an injunction 11/08/2023 preventing the enforcement of the unconstitutional brace ban. So as of now the brown shirts can’t enforce the ban, legally.
All I mainly shoot now is 22lr! This hobby is getting too extensive, but I'll still find a why to enjoy it. Started collecting rocks here in California cause man you never know what theyll ban next here.
@@mixup98 lol! Yes but they all have fin grips lol! Man no offense taken sir! When my brother was in Arizona I visited once and was blown away!!! Almost like I was in another country, well... I guess I am lol!
@@Bill-up9xw Here in Nevada we have no waiting period, no roster, no firearms permit or license, and no background check on ammo. We also have millions of acres of public land that is open to shooting, hunting, hiking and exploring. I'm sure Arizona is pretty much the same. California almost seems like a foreign country to us.
Thanks. I feel better now that you got to shoot some 22's. Yeah,I was thinking about getting an Sig 522 when they came out but at the time I couldn’t justify paying $500 new for one. Instead,I purchased a Tanfoglio Appeal 22lr bull pup for $400 new. I like my bull pup though.
You make the best videos. Thank you Sir. You and your son inspire me to grab some guns that I had almost forgotten about, and step out into the backyard, and start plinking. HOTDOG!😅
@@mixup98 you sir, are quite welcome. Love the relationship you have with your son as my son is no longer with us, I guess I live vicariously through the two of you. God bless both of you
Hey you guys are great shots.I like the original sights on thee 45 they are small so you can try for tiny targets far away. Anyhow good job both are great shots
Another good one. What's next 22 WMR? That'd be interesting, its one of those calibers that doesn't seem to get much coverage. I don't rely much on 22lr personally, but I shoot it more than I do anything else at the range and its so finnicky its good to find ones that you can rely on. Bad 22lr ammo can totally ruin your range.
