What is the difference between CCI Long Rifle and CCI Mini Mag?

The primary differences between CCI Long Rifle Standard Velocity and CCI Mini-Mag ammunition lie in their velocity, bullet design, applications, and price. Here’s a detailed comparison:

Key Differences:

Velocity and Power

• The CCI Mini-Mag is a high-velocity round (1,260 fps), offering greater energy and penetration, making it suitable for hunting and reliable cycling in semi-automatic firearms.

• The CCI Standard Velocity has a lower speed (1,070 fps), optimized for quieter shooting and precision, often preferred for suppressed firearms or casual target practice.

Bullet Design

• Mini-Mags feature copper-plated bullets (CPHP or CPRN), which reduce fouling and improve feeding reliability in finicky semi-automatic guns
• Standard Velocity rounds use unplated lead bullets (LRN), which are more economical but may leave more residue in the barrel.
