Sounds like it to me. I will have to try those, thanks.

Remington Yellowjackets, hmm... sounds like they zing!

Thanks, ForumSurfer. I'll look for CCI to start.

I'm new to the .22 platform and I'm picking up a Browning Buckmark today. Is there any FMJ ammo for 22LR? Or is there a "best" 22LR that you'd recommend for this which will not lead the barrel excessively?

Oops, it likely won't work then. Oh but to save money on a smith and do it myself. I don't really want to trade in the gun.

Has anyone tried this? http://www.gunblast.com/Poorboy.htm The trigger pull of my Ruger GP-100 is a bit stiff/heavy, and I'd like to smooth it out, make it lighter, but not sure if this is the right thing to try or not.

Thanks, all. Impressed by this forum (what belercous said). The Sept. 2010 issue of Liberty magazine has an original -- to my eyes -- interpretation of the 2nd Amendment by Erwin Haas titled Arms and the man in the Reflections section. His point is that the amendment is meant to convey the...

Thanks, belercous. Very useful.

I would likely say the same, but it should suffice that we are allowed to do so.
