rooster mcbee Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Does anyone know if there is a difference in CCI standard velocity ammunition that comes in the 50 round paper box as opposed the ammunition that comes in the 100 round plastic box? I've wondered why they offer both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapribek Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 There is no difference. Could one or the other be older packaging “ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzt Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 There may be a difference. CCI tests each lot of target ammo for consistency and accuracy. It is then label as Green Tag if it is the best, or other if lesser. CCI plastic box 0032 and higher all use the same powder, priming compound, etc. Paper box SV may be the same as long as there are enough of everything to go around. If there is a shortage, CCI will vary the priming compound, powder, etc. for paper box. 0032 is more consistent. If you are shooting bullseye, especially at 50 yard slow fire, it can make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Watson Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) The only paper box CCI I have seen in modern times was from Target Sports and they imply that it is packaged that way for them. I have some of both but am not a good enough shot to tell a difference. Edited August 1, 2022 by Jim Watson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrounger Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I haven’t noticed a difference. I keep the plastic ones and just drop 2 of the plastic 50 round holders from the paper Bricks into them because I prefer the plastic boxes.
