So what are you all doing with CCI

[Doc22]

I havent been shooting 22lr long, However it didnt take long to figure out that CCI was not going to cut it in the competition world., I think its called la palma, the competitions we shoot at my club. 50 meters then move to 100 yards shoot a few cards then come back to 50.
However I bought a brick of CCI last year when I first started. What are you all doing with your CCI, are you using it for plinking, training or what.?

I've got a couple thousand rounds of Standard Velocity for the grandson to burn up. Unfortunately he's not been able to come to the range with me since his TBI Mother's Day a year ago. He can't take the blast around him yet.

I assume you're talking about CCI SV's???

Yeah, they're not really cut out for competition, though they can do pretty well and I like to use them for practice and I think they're good enough for that. But anytime you change from one brand to another (e.g. SV's to Center X) you need to condition the barrel for them due to the difference in the lube that's on them. So when I change to a different brand, I'll shoot at least 20 of them before I expect best results.

I've got some CCI Green Tag's that are supposed to be their high end for competition. But the results I got from them weren't much better than the SV's; can hardly distinguish the difference.
