.22LR for pistol use

What's old news to some is a burning question for others. We just have to politely point them in the right direction.
It truly is hard having a board that will be interesting enough for seasoned shooters and at the same time helpful to newbies. I'm happy with our direction so far, just have to keep working on growing it.

Precisely why you should link Cooper's Comentaries. I thought of myself as a fairly experienced shooter, and then I learned more in the months that I read those Commentaries than in all the years before...... Not only that, Cooper's razor sharp wit is a joy to read!

"Information Arsenal" added to the forums. I'll give you the honors of posting the link, JimP! ;D

I use Remington Golden bullets for Range plinking.
When I'm competing (Bowling Pins, etc...) the only .22 ammo I've found that I can trust is CCI Minimags

Thanks, looks like the consensus here and other places is the CCIs for use. Gotta make sure I get the critters!!

Purchased a couple different types of CCI .22LR and they work great in the Walther. No more problems! ;D
Just for reference...the bulk box of .22LR HP (Winchester branded) that I got at Scheels has to have been the worst box of rimfire I have seen ever, hands down. The lead literally wobbled around on the brass like tiny dancers. This was not an anomaly, but representative of the whole box. Some of the rounds even had half the lead cut off the bullet by machinery. I am planning on taking that box back to them. I no longer have the receipt, but they need to know how bad it is.
