Finally got to shoot

[Belt Fed]

Didn't think my head could take a lot of recoil so i took the christensen arms 22 mag out for a spin, first set up at 50 yards to get it on paper. took a box of this armscorp crap to shoot it up. this is the junk that blew up on me in a semi auto pistol. i thought surely it won't in a bolt action. WRONG!. needless to say the rest of it got trashed. done this after 3 shots.

Then moved it to 100 yards

 

[Belt Fed]

Tried to go out to 150, it was flooded in that area so only about 130. i'll take it. i really like this thing. you can't even see my target in that pic.

Nice shooting, with the 22mag, I have always avoided it, heard way to many issues with it over the years, give me a .22lr or .222rem in a good bolt rifle

 

[Belt Fed]

I don't recall ever having any trouble out of 22mag. just that box of armscor.

 

[Sld1959]

Well done Belt.

 

[Sld1959]

I have used .22 magnum as my yote round for years never had a single issue. Never tried Armscor .

 

[TEXASforLIFE]

never had any trouble with a 22mag ever and it's had probably several 10's of thousands of rounds thru it as the ammo was either cci or rem rounds for the most part. the ammo i've shot and bought were cci's for p-dogs. don't remember the rifle brand (probably a winchester), but it's a semi-auto that shoots very well. i'd call armscor and inquire about possible lot issues.

I've had that for a long time and only one box.

Nice shooting. 22mag is on my radar, but i don’t want another caliber. I think. Maybe not.

 

[trader]

do use Armscor but strictly for target shooting. Premium brands only for hunting and SD.

 

[Onewolf426]

Very fine piece of shooting! Glad you are unharmed from the crap ammo.

 

[Belt Fed]

I took a pic magnified while there, my target you can barely see between the two larger ones about the same size as the other two that are visible. and has five orange circles on it. some stuff did hit me in the face from that round. nothing bad, maybe oil.

 

[belladonna]

Great shooting Belt!!

Hey @Belt Fed!

What a nice day at the range! That is some really great shooting too. That's a fine looking rifle you have there. Bolt action is always good for a nice, relaxed pace. I shoot a little bit of .22 magnum, not much. My little cowboy gun has a .22WMR cylinder that I use once in a while. Armscor in general I try to avoid. The .22 Armscor I have doesn't work too well in most of my firearms of that caliber, just a couple.

Good to see you out in the fresh air and sunshine. I hope you're feeling better.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Great, now i’m looking at this (the carbine in 22wmr):

Small Game Rifle & Carbine | Henry Repeating Arms

The lever-action itself is a time-honored design that’s every bit as valid today as it was in 1860 when B. Tyler Henry developed his legendary repeater. We haven’t changed our highly successful basic core rimfire concept, but if you’re a dedicated small-gamer, these two new Henry lever actions...

Henry's are nice rifles. just do it.

I’d like to add a lever action and this carbine caught my eye a while back. I’ve shot a few Henrys and they are smooth. Expenses in other areas took precedence.

Here’s a few picks of my experience Saturday using Blazer ammo. … never again.
Same problem in two different S&W SD9’s, that in the past have always eaten ANYTHING I fed them.
Had to tap the bullets out of the chamber.
No damage to the guns. Swapped over to another brand on Sun afternoon and they ran perfectly.

Looks like a squib. Only the primer went off.
