Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires .22 Set Up for Grouse

Up here in Canuck land, S/W-422, Ruger 22- 5 1/2" bbl, Amt 22-mag, (not recommended) coey single, ( 2 before grade school) LH rem581, one of those mini revolvers 22 short, this is all back when we could use hand guns in Canada!!!!! Now when moose hunting mostly TC break open 22 (3 1/2 lbs) Did load up some shot loads for a 38-55 once, 5gr red dot? 1/2 ear plug, shot, other 1/2 ear plug, part way into 308 die to hold plug in! Real quiet, only good for maybe 12-15yrds, made everyone giggle when it shot, I shot 2-3 bush chickens, buddies son shot 8-10 out of his Dads 375! Great with dumplings!🐾👣🐾👣

Honestly, the bullet never hit the grouse. I think it died of fright


That said, funny you should mention the 357 over the 6mm/284 or the 270

If you shoot the heads off,there ain't any meat damage.

270 shooting 110gr Barnes TSX, distance was 95 yards, give or take

The Double Auto was a line of 12 ga semiauto shotguns sold by Browning from the mid 1950s through the 1960s. As the name implies, they held only two rounds- one in the chamber and one in the magazine. They came in steel, alloy, and aluminum receivers with the names, "Standard", "Twelvette", and "Twentyweight" respectively to denote the typical weights. They were not overly popular but we're kind of neat looking.

That's cleaner than I expected. No shock to the upper part of the breast?

Got to say....at 95 yards and nailing a little grouse head...you're quite the shot.

Looks more like a pigeon Steelhead. Okay a little egocentric thinking that your grouse was our ruffed grouse and as a western dude that one is probably a western capercaillie or wood grouse. Being a birder I just checked and there are 12 different grouse species in North America.

Just shoot their heads off, no damage to the rest of the bird.

It's a blue grouse, though we called them hooters. SE Alaska

When I am elk hunting with my 338 mag. I carry a couple cast bullet loads. 220 grain round nose with 10 grains of unique. They run about 800fps and are dead on at 25yds.
Sounds like a rimfire and doesn't destroy any meat.

Grouse are some very good eating birds.

birds is birds......

That is definitely not a bird you can shoot with a pistol where I'm from.

it is if you run a commercial bird hunting operation.....

What holster do you use with that set up?

Love the grips on that pistol.

I don't need no sting-king ho'ster....

That works too!!

Tweed: I try to head/base of neck shoot the Grouse I harvest with my 22 L.R. pistols and Rifles.
I prefer the wonderful Winchester Power-Point hollow-points - both accurate and lethal.
Good luck with whichever you choose.

You're idiotic, tiresome and worthless!

You have absolutely nothing worthwhile to contribute here, so phuuck off - please.
