We took out the mini-30 today and broke in a new 5 round mag. The 20 round mag is nice but gets in the way of a rifle mount for sighting and a bit obtrusive while hunting. We had a little trouble at first, I think the mag got mashed a little during shipping somewhere down the line. Got it sorted out and it's fine now.
We normally shoot WPA hollow point. Today I had some Silver Bear soft point ammo. It performed well, seemed a little hotter and it generated less smoke that the WPA. It cost about $180 for 500 rounds vs. $199 for 1000 rounds of the WPA.
My son admits it is not his favorite rifle... but he is a vintage rifle guy, hard to complete with the Mosin Nagant, Lee Enfield etc...
Here is today's video...

If you're interested we also shot the Beretta Mini-Cougar 8040F today. You can jump to our channel from the video above to see it.
