I’ve been shooting CCI Mini-Mags since the ’80s and it’s always been my gold standard for 22LR. But it’s been decades since I actually measured how it shot in my Marlin 60. I thought it was high time I re-checked my baseline assumptions.
In a previous ammo test with Aguila Super Extra HV, I found very little difference in performance when shot with a Ruger 10/22 and Marlin 60. The results in this test were even more surprising to me, with the Ruger 10/22 slightly edging out the Marlin 60; which I always thought was the more accurate rifle.
Of course, my rifle isn’t your rifle. Ammo and gun manufacturing technology change and improve. What this is a perfect example of is: it’s never a bad idea to periodically take new readings of your old standards.
