I have both and like tbnpar said that each serve a purpose. My Bushmaster shoots very well with my handloads, I can hit golf balls at 100 yards with no problem. I had the mini first and got softball size groupings with factory loads for years. It is an older Ranch Rifle in stainless. I ran out of factory ammo and tried my handloads out of it and lo and behold it now can hit golf balls at 100 yards as well! I got lucky and that they both like the same hand load so they are interchangeable in that regards.

The mini has also never had a FTF or failure to feed. It shoots everything, some stuff better than others, but it doesn't matter what is in the oven; it will cook it.
