How does CCI mini-mag perform in the RF224? I like the RF224 look way more than the TM22, but the TM22 crowd is getting to my head telling me the RF224 sucks lol

The mini-nag should perform fine, I haven't personally used it myself but others have commented that it feeds fine.

I've personally used the Stingers 100% of the time and have not looked back.

Yeah the rf224 needs a break in period and the 597 mags also need to be worn in...but damn, once everything is broken in and you've gone thru 500+ rnds, the thing shoots so smoothly and cycles so well.

Good to know, I appreciate it. Spec’d out a TM22 that I didn’t totally hate, but man, this RF is calling my name 🤣. What was the break in period like? How many rounds did you need to send through it before the hiccups went away?

If you clean the rifle when you get it, and use CCI, then very minimal break in period. Maybe 75-100 rnds? I don't recall what I did..it felt like the moment I cleaned it and used CCI stingers, all my problems went away. No more FTF and FTE.

If you're using the 597 mags, try to feed the mags around 100 rnds before it's worn in and the plastic nibs wear down.
