I only shoot them out to 30 yards and they group ok from my Anschutz at that distance. As for cycling, if I only load 4 into a 10 shot mag, they cycle ok. Any more and they slip forward and get stuck in the mag. Not accurate enough to shoot further with the cci’s, but rws Z Lang shoot well out to fifty yards and beyond, but they’re nearly 50 ft lb, whereas the cci’s are more like 30 ft lb. They have a place for me, I know that some rifles won’t shoot them well at all.
