I ran across this in a NAA package, and I have not seen it before:

NAA does not recommend use of commercially available Varmint ammunition with Mini-Revolvers. Because of the Mini-Revolvers size and the pressures Varmin rounds create, the casings may swell and jam and/or cause interference with the cylinder's rotation.

Varmint rounds were developed for Long Range rifle use.

I don't use them for my minis, but I also know several members like/prefer them. I figured if I have missed this, perhaps others may have also. I also do not know how long this has been the position of NAA. I am not saying don't use them, merely sharing information that I personally just became aware of.

I noticed that shortly after NAA cam out with this, CCI changed the HP+V rounds to nickel plated cases... Hmm...
