That would be my bad. My mind travels quickly, sometimes leaves the map. .22 magnum AR = potential great varmint gun = the most disliked varmint moving North into my region, armadillo, carrier of leprosy = wife digging in gardens and flower beds = thinking about good caliber to plug them FW got = I sound like a nut. Not to mention my post needed correction. I'll work on keeping the dots I connect closer together. It's really FW's fault for no range report, see, yeah, that's it...

Finally finished a few boxes of .30 Cal 173 gr. loads . Cleaning up or rather loading up 7.62x51mm 168's & 175's . Going to do a Head on ; M1 verses M14 at 165 & 278 yd. IF I can see that far still ?. Iron sights and I ,well we'll just see how it goes ?. Also NOW have MY New 30mm Meopta Optika6 4.5x27x50mm ,for the 6.5 CM and HOPEFULLY will get it on paper and adjusted . Like others it's been WARM here and few days without HEAVY SMOKE ,as fires rage around us in #5 or 7 states including our Own . Yesterday smoke was so bad ,couldn't see My target back stop at 278 yd. with Binoculars Woke up this AM and it was 45 Deg. ,weather is shifting FINALLY but RAIN from that Mexican Hurricane is on it's way also . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flesh Wound Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 Finally got out to shoot the new 22 Mag upper. What a hoot to shoot. No failures (other than crap ammo*). Seems consistent enough. Good groups for a blind old man with a crap red-dot sight on the upper. Was able to whack a steel plate out at 100 yards just about every shot. I believe this one is a keeper. Might be a great varmint gun. * Yea, crap ammo. I bought a Rock Island XT-22 in 22 mag. It came with a bag of ~150 CCI hollow point ammo. I had tons of problems with failure to fire in the RIA pistolo. I thought the gun was defective. Now I'm sure the ammo is junk. I had exactly the same issue when trying to shoot this in the 22 mag AR. New Winchester ammo worked flawlessly. Need to retry the RIA with different ammo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geepee3 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Glad to hear you finally got that puppy out. Great way to get the New Year going! Interesting about the CCI ammo. Thanks for letting us know how the upper performed. Glenn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLShooter Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 It should be interesting as you run through the ammo choices. Greg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't cheap so that up front but does it ever shoot WELL SK Long Range Match . I bought a brick sometime back ,so as to compare with other Target ammo and it SHINES . Leastwise in most of My .22's . I also bought a few cases of TAC Black Box when Norma had a sale ,so did A&B Guns only for less $. Wife needed practice with less $$$ than 9mm . The New Walther I bought for her wasn't chump change but in the long haul gonna save MY ammo and cranking arm , hopefully some $$$ ? . I'm seriously contemplating a fully functional self indexing pistol reloader . I negotiated the sale of My Dillon 650 ,as I was into it inexpensively . Bought it from a friend who was moving ,to Island paradise so NO further use to him . I got a decent price along with accessories sold ,so NOW have extra $$$$ .

I agree some of the 22 match stuff is higher than a cat's back. Greg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
