I used to respect them "Indiana" guys until they "dumped" Bobby Knight! :mrgreen: There was an exhibition shooter, who's name escapes my memory, (Ad Topperwein maybe?) who claimed to have shot over a million rounds out of a Nylon 66! He shot small blocks of wood and glass balls. I would imagine he might have rebarreled that 66 a time or two!......................Dick :wink:

NO !!! The shooter with the NYLON 66 records on 2 1/4" square wood blocks would have been Tom Frye of Findley OH, a professional shooter for the REMINGTON-PETERS company in the 1950's and '60'S. HE shot at 100,000 hand thrown blocks and missed nine breaking all of Ad toepperwine's records at same.Pinecone":381j687e said:
THis is MANY decades after Adolf Toepperwine set records in exhibition shooting.

Didn't Chief AJ do something like 40,000 blocks with a 10-22?
I could be wrong.

to answer your question 'john lee' I'd have to say we take most with a grain of salt, maybe try and "think" about the logistics, time involved, the cost of ammo, etc....guess theres LOTS of guys making a boatload of money, even at the "low" ???? cost of reloading ( except in this case, being 22...) but overall, the guys we "know" do tend to do what they say, no need to build it up or make it more impressive, I tend to believe them...no matter who it is, they all still put their pants on one leg at a time.........oh gee, added another to my "post count" and I'm still learning things everyday, after 63 years, NOTHING surprises me........... :roll:

Hey I was born in Findlay OH in 1957 and have this strange urge to shoot blocks of wood with my nylon 66......HMMMM........I remember my mom telling stories about being a "BLOCK TOSSER" when she was but a lass :shock: :shock: :shock:
I did meet CHIEF AJ once and man was he one CRAZY INJUN.....I certainly wouldn't want him shooting at me.....I bought one of his 30th anniversary 10/22's he made up...also got 2 of the rifles he roll marked with his name after his 40K block feat.....even got a CHIEF AJ BB gun and a CHIEF AJ TRADING CARD :roll: :roll: :roll: some guys will collect anything.... see ya RR.

Nope, I was just pokin' at Terry. If Terry says it, then it's true. He's probably forgotten more about shooting than most of us will ever know.M. HALL":do23hc1u said:

What I want to know is, did he save the 9 blocks he missed? :lol:
I wrote a poem about all the great information I have found on the 'net these past 10-12 years
I heard it on the Internet
I know it must be true
There's Banners there
And fancy font
And wise men not a few
I clicked on sites all round about
And hailed the people with a shout
I've found the source of knowledge fount
They've got the smarts in great amount
Now what is this? I say to you
I'll hold my breath 'til I turn blue
You mean I cannot whole believe
What every click doth soon retrieve?
It mustn't be! It isn't true!
Now where does that leave me and you
The whole thing starts to really stinkin'
If I must do my ownest thinkin'!
We have a saying in the break room - the first liar never has a chance!
No finger pointed at anyone in particular- just sayin' you can't catch a fish without someone catching a bigger one!

I just finished putting a million rounds through my 10-22, but I'm going to try for a few more than a million next week.
BTW my calculator says there are only 604,800 seconds in a week.

Hey I hate calculators....they seem to make you face reality.......1,000,000 rounds divided by a brick (500) = 2000 bricks x $16.00 = $32,000 big ones...... this.could possibly be the reason I have never shot ONE MILLION ROUNDS of anything..........PLEASE check my math as I have been wrong before......BUT ONLY ONCE I swear.......see ya RR.
