What ever happen to the 10/22 mag. ?
The mag is only about 2,000 fps and the .223 is right at 3,000 I believe.I can shoot my Mini 14 with cheap steel-cased ammo for around 25-35 cents per round depending on bulk rates, etc (TulAmmo, which my Mini eats up, is about $5 per box with tax at my local Walmart, which is 25 cents per round). A 22 Magnum runs around 20-30 cents per round when buying in bulk. CCI Maxi-Mags at Ammotogo.com run about 21 cents per round when buying 500 at a time.
For that price, I'll shoot my Mini all day long. Not to mention, I bought a brand new Mini, Hogue Stock, 2 20-Round Magazines and some ammo for less than the asking price on the 10/22 Magnum alone on GB. I'll stick with my standard 10/22 and 22/45 for .22LR and I'll go with a .223 for a bigger cartridge. If I understand it correctly, the .223 is similar to the 22 MAG in terms of velocity, is it not?
Ah... Well. I'd still rather shoot the .223.The mag is only about 2,000 fps and the .223 is right at 3,000 I believe.
So would IAh... Well. I'd still rather shoot the .223.
