    subsonic .22lr for long range

    Re: subsonic .22lr for long range I use CCI Standard Velocity. It is the best ammo I have found for my rifle. It will hold MOA to at least 300 yards and does not get blown about by the wind as much as other ammo.

    DIY hollowpoint PICS

    Re: DIY hollowpoint PICS I cut the front off with a skew and then I hold a marked drill bit with a pliers and push it in until it reaches the right depth. It stays in the lathe the whole time so everything is concentric.

    DIY hollowpoint PICS

    Re: DIY hollowpoint PICS Crow magnums are the ticket if you want to put a critter down now. I used them for years until I gave up airgunning this year. I took up rimfire shooting instead.

    DIY hollowpoint PICS

    Re: DIY hollowpoint PICS I have shot them with stingers. Not much different than a regular HV round IMO. Just more shock so the hole is bigger than normal. Stingers have never expanded well for me. I don't like the way the hole is shaped. I am looking for a HP with a big cup on the front...

    DIY hollowpoint PICS

    Re: DIY hollowpoint PICS I thought someone wold say they were backwards. They are not. That really is the entrance. It is about the size of a 12 gauge slug.

    DIY hollowpoint PICS

    These are the jaws I use for making the hollow points. They grip well without damaging the bullet and they don't squeeze the rim. The on on the left was shot into a jug of water and the one on the right was shot into a half frozen jug of water. Both were hollow point. The far right is...

    Rifle Scopes Turret labels

    I picked this up when I got into airgunning. I don't know if anyone here has seen it or uses it. It is quick and you don't have to carry a card or chart. Just range and dial.

    Rimfire swinging targets

    Re: Rimfire swinging targets I have one of those too....they don't hold up so well. It costs me more in golf balls than ammo! I just use my steel swinger now.

    Rimfire swinging targets

    Re: Rimfire swinging targets This is my 200 yard swinger. It is 2"x2.25" and is 1/4" plate. I only use 22 subs on it, but a friend of mine has used 17 hmr and they hold up fine. The only problem is it likes to flip around the rod and I have to put something behind it to keep it from doing...

    Favorite Rimfire Targets

    Re: Favorite Rimfire Targets Tried golf balls. Those don't hold up well. About 20 rounds will pop them open. Then the guts fall out. I use steel swingers. I made some out of steel plate. 1" up to 9". My favorite is the 3" at 300 yards. I can hit it 10 for 10 on a decent day. I also...

    Best material to make gongs out of?

    Re: Best material to make gongs out of? I have a 9 inch gong made out of 1/4 harvestore plate. It holds up well to most things. I hit it with a 9mm FMJ at 20 yards and the chain broke and there is a very shallow dimple in the steel. I was surprised. It also holds up well to HMR with only...

    Gunsmithing Wil Cryo help on cold bore shot..

    Re: Wil Cryo help on cold bore shot.. Good advice. How much it helps also has a lot to do with how much stress is in the barrel. Are you taking the cold shot right after cleaning or with a dirty barrel?
