The ammo problem is mute......
Remington has sporatic bursts of manufacture for Jet brass, but they do still make it. I have thousands, so getting some is easy. Very easy round to reload. The powder of choice is H110 (about 14gr...my data is at home and I am at work) and Small Pistol Magnum primers. My loads are accurate, and leave a great impression at the range.....LOUD (like 44 mag +++), no recoil, and spectacular FIRE. I have all three barrel lengths, but a NIB 6" with tags, unfired and for sale @ $1500 (no extra cylinder....which is a waste of time... I have them on the other guns and never use them....if you want to shoot a .22....shoot a K-22 or other).
This is an 8.375" barrel gun....honest!
FOR SALE
