Digging around in the basement of this old house I bought and found a box of "Remington UMC" brand .22 Special cartridges. OLD,VERY OLD..!! Copper Cases and RNL bullets,looks to be about 40gr in size.
I read how these would chamber in a .22 Mag,but would question sanity of chambering something this old in my M77 and seeing if it blows up. I was wondering if there's a rimfireBUFF out there who is looking for something of this vintage.I have certainly never seen a rifle that fires these,not even in another's collection...... If someone is interested, virgillloydyahoo.com and I'll send a pic of the antique stuff.I certainly won't go chambering these and trying them out. The looks of the box alone is something older than anything my 67 years has seen. I would like to see what the rifle looks like if anyone owns one that uses this ammo...
