Thanks for posting that.

I've been a fan of the .22 WMR since the late 70s when I read an article by Elmer Keith about how good it was (in a S&W wheel gun of course).

I saved my money and bought a Single Six, only to find out, he was right (as usual) and the .22 Magnum and I have been friends ever since.

Great info, thanks!

I keep the magnum cylinder in one of my Single Six convertibles and really enjoy breaking clay pigeons set out at 75 to 100 yds with it. If it wasn't for the price of the ammo I would shoot it a whole lot more.
