A question on 22s

[hardluk1]

The cheapest and most accurate ammo I bought in at least 25 years is Federal 711B but cost is higher today . I taken a heck of a lot of squirrel with it and a few hogs and deer back in sw florida with ear shots with my old rem 511P . In my savage mkii bv its a solid moa ammo so even reducing our ground hog problem over just 100 yards is a one shot and done deal but sk rifle match is more accurate . Not sure when I shot a high velocity 22lr last time but I was most likely still a kid , I'm 68 now .

So continue to buy cheap 22lr till you find one reliably enough and accurate enough to fill your needs .

Well I ordered 4 bricks of the ammo I originally posted about. It is at Cabela's ready to be picked up. I found a box of the same ammo I've had for a while couple days ago... shot it out of My Remington M-5. It shot fine...no bad smells or anything just plinking at stuff back near the cliff near the dry ground. Plunked a wild pigeon at about 50 yds. DRT...almost took it's head off. Funny thing...within minutes a eagle was flying away with it. I went back on the Cabela's site today...was gonna order 6 more bricks...says out of stock. Winchester 41 primers are in I think. I ordered another 1000 today for a friend when I ordered some brass. 200 Starline 32 H&R mag 100 44mags and a 100 5 Colt brass too...Midway is out of 32-20 no backorders

I went out to the Outdoor range today/. above 50, barely... but no snakes. I used the Reminton Jumior Targetmaster 521 with peep sights Had to shoot left handed as I lost a lot of the sight in the right eye in an auto accident many years ago. over an old feather pillow at a hundred feet. best group was at just over an inch. Good for me. The worst was about an inch and a half. this was with the Aguila 38 gr 22s. I shot a 12 shot group with the 1948 K-22 I bought recently same range right hand left eye. The group was slightly over an inch and 3/4. I also shot a 12 round with the somewhat challenged 5 inch 27-2. single action got a group about 2 inches.. 2 inches high and almost that much left. Going to have to check the trigger...double action pull was inconsistent with single action pull great but cocking effort was inconsistent. The load was 150 gr LSWC with old S&W/Alcan SPPs and a load of old Winchester 230 powder. I also shot the little M-60 38 same load..distance etc. Got 4 of 5 on the target. If I have to get in a fight with it...I'm gonna run...er walk away fast first..if possible...with a bit of a breeze it was still chilly out there. Better than 30 below The Aguila Bulk pack seems to have worked out fine so far. Glad I bought 9 bricks.
