Paul Harrell tests various 22lr ammo with several different guns. A good watch.

I've probably shot that many .38s, 9mms, and .45ACPs, including handloads. I have a vague memory of one dud .38 round many many years ago (M41 military ball). I have one 1911 slide with a misdrilled firing pin hole that gives primer strikes noticeably off-center, and I never even had a misfire with THAT stupid gun.gunzo said:But Snake, have you tested 100K rounds of the alternative? 9mm, 38 special, 40 ??
Preach It, Brother Randy! Can I get a AY-men from the choir? :wink:RandyP said:Because of how it is designed and manufactured, rimfire will ALWAYS have a greater failure 'potential' than centerfire. If we are talking going plinking or range shooting? Even those nasty Remington Thunderduds are just fine, dirty shooting but who cares? I've found CCI ammo to have very good performance.
If we are talking self-defense ammo, as in use it to possibly save MY life? Rimfire ammo does not meet MY personal threshold for 'acceptable' failure potential and I will always select centerfire ammo for that task.
An 8+ shot DA revolver is the ONLY firearm platform in .22 I would even CONSIDER for self-defense. And it would be WAY down on the list.Captain America said:8 rounds in a revolver, my wife is fine. I assure you, she can pull the trigger faster on her LCR than she could ever clear a malfunctioning semi auto of any type.
I dunno what is used or where some get their 22 ammo, but I have found failures very rare, and see no reason for and experienced no more than any self contained ammunition. Got my first 22 in '66.rimfire will ALWAYS have a greater failure 'potential' .
I still have some Rem Golden Bullets from the '70s that are MUCH more reliable than the current stuff.Bucks Owin said:I wouldn't be surprised that the old stuff isn't more reliable than recent manufacture... :shock:
