I guess it's OK to discuss other shooting website's articles here. This evening I was catching up on shooting articles when I came across the Ammoland article on the Single Six, one of the most popular .22 revolvers ever made. I sure love mine and in a posting by me some time back, I shared my plan to gift my oldest granddaughter (yes, via her approving and careful parents) one this fall. She's the coon hunter and coon dog showing granddaughter.
Anyway, the writer commented on some good groups he was able to shoot with his Single Six. Made me think about last fall when I was shooting honest to goodness one inch groups at 35 yards with my garden variety 6.5 inch stainless steel Single Six using just CCI Mini Mag hollow points. Granted, this Single Six is scoped with a Weaver 2X pistol scope (affordable, very clear and has never let me down) on a B-Square no drill base, and I was shooting from a sandbag rest, but I was astounded by the consistent groups I was getting with hunting ammo! And maybe just everything including "the stars" aligned that morning. Dunno. But it sure made me feel great!
I wonder if I simply got an unusually accurate Single Six specimen or if other shooters are experiencing such good groups. I cannot hunt any longer because of spine problems and walking troubles so the accuracy of this Single Six is, I guess, wasted on me. But I sure enjoy this little stainless 6.5 inch sixgun. Slow and deliberate loading but I don't hurry any more at the range anyway.
I'd be interested in hearing about other's Single Six results.
Good things wished for all. Don
