H004 at 4000 rounds!
I just hit the 4000 round mark on my H004 Golden Boy 22LR! I've had it since March 2017. It is
hands down my favorite firearm. Today I purchased a rimfire resetting steel target made by
Birchwood Casey. (See pic below.) I shot 275 rounds at that thing today and had a blast! I found that
high velocity rounds hit a little too hard to make the bottom plates land on the top rail. They would
just bounce back and hang down. I tried some CCI 29gr HP short rounds and they worked perfectly!
Plus I could load 22 rounds in the magazine.

That's great diano
Let us know how that target works out. I've been looking at some of them, as cans are not always available.
That one looks sturdy. Most of the bad reviews were based on the movements or lack of movements of the targets, not getting "shot apart". One person gave it a bad review cause it was difficult to remove from the packaging.
But please let us know what you think, and good luck...

So far it's worked very well. I have purchased other rimfire steel targets and they have all
been very flimsy. This one has a much thicker frame than the others. No signs of bending or
denting yet. I think it will last for a long time.

I shot a few rounds of CCI Standard Velocity and that worked well, too.
I was shooting from about 17 yards.

Re: H004 at 4000 rounds!
I use the same target. Try leaning it a little further forward. It may help with the bounce back.

Re: H004 at 4000 rounds!
Looks like fun, thanks for sharing. Seems like varying your distance would help make the targets do what you want them to, but I'm not familiar enough with what happens, ballistically, with a 22LR at, say 25, 50, 75 yds. Would be neat to experiment and see what happens.
4,000 rounds is a big number, good for you!
