lol so true. I am a hobby addict, everything I get into I go crazy. I just got my 15-22 3 weeks ago only my second gun other then my CCW firearm and I am already looking into a trust and then getting my stamp. And I am already looking at another rifle.
Well I guess effective is relative, but a comparison is that a .223 Rem has more FPS and energy at 900yards then a .22LR has at 250yards and the common effective distance of a .223 is 500yards. In fact the .223 has more velocity and over double the energy at 500yards then a .22 at the muzzle.
After getting gun somewhat zero'd in it made it more fun to shoot at something, though it proved hard to actually trap the coin from not being buried to deep to find.
This a at 50 yards laying down.
Just my luck. I have a brand new 15-22 and the trigger job and now get FTF about 2 out of 25 on 3 different types of ammo so far and the same ammo is fine on a old spring trigger job 15-22. Lol and good to hear yellow will fix the problem cause that is whats on the way.
