I accidentally bought cci 29 grain .22 long instead of lr's and decided to just try them out and low and behold they cycle just fine in my 10/22! Not one single malfunction out of 100 rounds, at 50 yards just as accurate or more consistent than bulk Blazers and at 100 yards , approx 2-3" lower than the Blazers due to the lower velocity but they cycled just fine, noticeable slower action but just fine. I even tried mixing them up in the magazines with no issues. My bolt and receiver is stock... Ran them through promag and factory magazines. I do have a matched barrel but I don't believe that makes any difference as far as cycling... They also cycled fine out of my coworkers
MP-5
I didn't have a chance to try them in my P22 yet but I'm glad I can make use of them in my 10/22 at least... Possibly useful info for those that have access to longs and own a 10/22 or MP5.....

Well, you learn something new every day--I've had a 10-22 for many, many years but I never fired Longs in it (I've always had LRs to feed it). Good to know they'll work--thanks for sharing the info. :thumbsup:

haha yep, I was curious since I accidentally bought em, glad to know I can shoot em! Gonna try them in my P-22 when I get a chance. The CCI longs were even more reliable than my bulk lr Blazers in my match barrel, not a single jam... Funny stuff
