Is anyone still plinking around with an old WRF?

MOi.
Grandfather's 1890 Winchester, his first gun. Shoots better than my eyes can see the sights. Does OK with the CCI jacketed ammo but noticeably better with WW ammo of the lead bullet style. I call OK about 1.5" at 25 yards. Better runs around an inch at the same distance.
I am..........disturbed.

When I was a kid, we had a Remington 12CS around and I shot some 'chucks and porcupines with it. There was a local trapper who carried a cut-down Stevens Favorite in 22 WRF that I thought was pretty cool. It was a sad day when he retired the Favorite in favor of a Garcia Bronco.

Yup, got a 61 Win that is very accurate. Not a lot of ammo around so it doesn't get shot as much as I'd like..

I shoot WRF in my 22 mags at times. My chronograph shows it right near 22 LR velocity, it was actually a little less. It's and easy way to bring down speeds in a 22 mag.

If anyone is around close, I have 100 rds of 45 grain Winchester hollow point you can have for $15, which is what I paid for it. TM
Some mornings, it just does not feel worth it to chew through the straps!~
