    Federal Auto Match Review

    Man, I wanted to like this ammo. Bulk match ammo that’s made for semi-autos in a fast, 1200 FPS, 40 grain lead round nose: what more can you ask for in a 22LR round?? Unfortunately, I just didn’t get the accuracy I was looking for out of this round. Now to be fair, I’d have…

    Remington Yellow Jacket Review

    Yesteryear’s High Performer I remember buying this stuff as a kid; has it always been around or did Remington ramp production back up once 22LR got hard to find? This is like the original CCI Stinger: a fast, lightweight bullet made for speed. The Remington Yellow Jacket has 1 advantage: it uses a standard length…

    CCI Quiet Segmented HP Review

    Close In Pest Control The CCI Quiet Segmented HP is a low velocity, low noise option for quiet pest control. It uses a different powder charge with an almost single minded goal of reducing noise. The bullet itself is designed to split into 3 pieces on impact, making for a more lethal bullet than most…

  • Winchester 22 Long Rifle Subsonic Review

    Winchester 22 Long Rifle Subsonic Review

    The Best Subsonic Tested Winchester’s subsonic 22LR offering comes in a 40 grain, hollow-point, un-plated offering. Compared with the CCI Quiet Segmented HP in the 2014 22LR shootout, it offered much better accuracy, a much smaller shift in Point of Impact (POI), and cycled most of the time in our semi-auto’s. Winchester 22LR Subsonic Accuracy My Marlin…

  • CCI Standard Velocity 22LR Review

    CCI Standard Velocity 22LR Review

    CCI Standard Velocity is, like the name implies, a standard velocity 22LR round clocking in at 1070 FPS. Using a 40 grain, round nose, lead bullet, this is a plinking round with promise for more. In our 2014 22LR Shootout, this ammo would be a good place to start for most rifles. CCI Standard Velocity…

  • CCI Green Tag Review

    CCI Green Tag Review

    Budget-priced Match Ammo CCI Green Tag is very similar to their SV (Standard Velocity) offering in appearance, speed, and construction, which leads me to believe that they’re lots of SV that are more consistent. Green Tag was pretty reasonably priced in my area, especially considering the current shortages in 22LR, and came out consistently accurate…

  • Blazer 22 Long Rifle Review

    Blazer 22 Long Rifle Review

    Budget Accuracy In terms of inexpensive ammunition, Blazer seemed to come out on top. It bested all of our bulk pack ammunition choices and came in as the most accurate high velocity round in our 2014 comparison of 20 different kinds of 22 LR ammo. With a speed of 1235 at the muzzle, this is…

  • Browning SA-22 Takedown Review

    Browning SA-22 Takedown Review

    The Browning Semi Auto 22, sometimes called the SA-22, was first produced in 1914 and is still in production today. It looks a bit odd in person and in photos because of some strange dimensions. The bottom eject receiver is oddly small, but it turns out to be a great balance point to hold the…

    Norinco NS522 Review and Uber Article

    This is not a really well known rimfire rifle, because few of them were made. As far as I could tell, the ones making it into Canada were originally made for an American outfit in the mid 90’s, but the Clinton import ban on Chinese weapons stopped this particular batch from moving into the US.…

    Savage Rascal Review

    A length of pull for little ones A few weeks ago, I brought my 6 year old out to the shooting range for the first time. We first went over a simplified version of the safety briefing I give to everyone I bring out, and then headed out. He was pumped! But as soon as…
