New 22 RF ammo... ESP Magnum offerings.
« on: October 26, 2012, 02:38:51 AM »
Morning fellas,

We made a trip last night to Cabelas for some ammo. (The only factory stuff I buy really. PP handgun stuff, Turkey/Goose loads and my favorite Rimfires)



I'm a bit of a 22MAG nut... Last count was 11firearms. Gonna be 12 if and when KelTec makes my PMR... (Done get me started on that road) ::) Most are handguns. Only two are rifles. A H&R and a Marlin 782.

I really wanted some Winchester PDX1 ammo but they did not have any. I got some +V from CCI that I also wanted. Trouble is, different name and packaging since my last purchase. So I hope it's the same?!? (Wish they just called it Magnum Stingers) my 782 Marlin shoots them into dimes at 50 yards.

I also wanted and got the Hornady 30g ammo I read good things about.

I also read Speer has jumped in the 22Mag market. Altho I have a couple boxes of CCi gold with a Gold Dot bullet from ten years back... CCI/Speer was same CO once upon a time.  Guessing its same stuff repackaged.

I have and very much like the 45g Critical Defence 22Mags from Hornady. VERY accurate in my mags.


Any one try this new Winchester stuff yet??

That's a big family to feed!
Glad I found a load "good enough" after two boxes (CCI 40gr JSP) for my Sav. 93.
22M's aren't cheap.

LOL,
 4 of the 10 are NAA mini revolvers, 4 are Ruger SA's and one is a Colt SA, One more is S&W 651 and last is a S&W 48. I don't shoot the NAA's too much, same for the Rugers. But I do shoot the lil Colt mostly cause it carries and shoots so well. It actually sees more holster time than the 651 that I wanted so badly. ::)

Here is the 17M2 & 22LR shelf:



I cannot find my pic of the 17HMR/22MAG shelf....  ??? ???

No body?

I have the 22Mag Sporster in the truck along with a box of 50g Federal's, under my jacket and boots. I'm going for a "walk" after work tonight... ;)

I tried the new Winchester .22 mags a couple of weeks ago and was not impressed! I had at least one FTF every 10 shots and not as accurate as the Hornady.

I know every barrel is a 'law unto itself', but I did put the 22M cyl. on my '77 Ruger S-S Six to try out and liked what Ive got initially with the Win. Dynapoints. What 'real' magnums have worked well for you in the Rugers?

I've tried a about 5 different kinds of mag ammo in my single-6 and it likes the Dynapoints the best.

I haven't shot mags from my single sixes in many years.  :o   I was  ever satisfied with there accuracy. I have a Colt Scout chambered in 22Mag that shoots very accurately.

I will have to try the dyna points, as I havent shot them thru a ruger yet.

They are the flash plated lead 45 gr. HPs spec'ed at about 1550fps (rifle) and Ive chrono'ed at 1500ish from a carbine length barrel. My S-SS also has a Mk II type undercut front blade on it so I get a very nice sight pic compared to a ramp. I was drilling the 'spots' out at my backyard 50yd. range (you know, pick a good visual on the berm, aim & squeeze) from a casual rest off the deck rail  ;D . I havent even tried any real maggies with coats on yet.

I picked up a brick of Fiocci FMJs to try. From what I read they are made by ATI. IIRC they are CCIs parent company.

I'll shoot them in a couple weeks sooner if I get a call saying my PMR-30 has come in!!!
