Went to my LGS yesterday to look for some scope rings for my friend. When I got there the front door window was boarded up. I thought "Now what?
They had a break in over the holiday but the alarm system did it's job and scared them off with no losses. Well any way I saw some CCI on the shelf and asked if he could sell a case and he said yes. I thought then maybe I shouldn't have asked. So I spent my car insurance money on ammo. :shock:
Oh well if I don't pay it by the end of June I will ride my bicycle. ;) Could not wait to get home to run some through a few rifles to see how it would do. For get the word "few" in the above sentence. With such a nice day I just kept bringing out more rifles from the safe that usually do good with the CCI. (Henry Frontier also) The new lot shot well in more than just a few and looks to be a good lot. I shot at 35yds. now the ground in the lower part of my yard is drying out. (More rain forecast) I have a few pictures of rifles used and targets shot. All targets were with the new ammo except where it is marked with a different lot. The new lot is any with no number or X82. I actually used to many rifles but wanted to take advantage of the weather we are having. Some times the hot weather with high humidity the rim fires can be finicky on their consistency on paper. I got the case OTD for $360. Not bad even if I do end up on the bicycle. :lol:

I will post targets later. For some reason it won't let me post more than a few pictures at a time. Have any ideas?

CCI standard vel are the most accurate .22s I've gotten my mitts on. Noticeably so.

I am fairly certain you will have some folks drooling over the beautiful rifles. And possibly for seeing a whole case on .22 ammo. I am seeing normal amounts on store shelves again in this neck of the woods.

Money well spent to accommodate that epic range trip... and many more by the looks of it.

Have you had a chance to try Norma Tac. That stuff really brings out the best in some rifles. It is not a match grade high dollar ammo but very good. I don't care for the greasy stuff on it but it does a good job on paper. I think Sir Henry also likes it.

You don't realize how big a case is until you see it................
