I have several other .22s, but the purpose of one for the TC would be as an understudy for my .44, a serious deer-killing machine (I hope). Wouldn't mind paying a bit more if there was a good chance of getting a real star, one that could replace one of my others.

With deer-killing in mind, I just cranked out 10 test rounds featuring 225gr XPBs over some 2400 in some jewel-like Starline brass. Wish me luck; I really like the way those spendy XPBs open up.


What fresh Hell is this?
