Hello everyone,
I tried searching and searching around here for "Stinger" and "22LR" but... not really sure about the search results.
Anyway, I ended up getting yet-another-gun, a 22LR. Remington 597 Yellow Jacket.
I scoped it with a simple 9x and got a couple extra 10 mags.
GOALS: Target shooting at 100 yards (also as low-cost training for long guns such as .223 and .308); small game / feral animals; self defense in a pinch with no other gun on me (in that order).
22LR newbie questions:
Best accurate high muzzle energy rounds, CCI Stingers?
I hear about 17 HMR, 22 WMR, etc... none of these are compatible with my 22LR right? The only caliber I should be using is 22 Long Rifle, yes?
What about Short Rifle, etc. (sort of like asking if I can shoot .38 Special out of a .357).
Basically I don't really know very much about 22LR although I shot tons out of 10/22 and Ruger pistols before. Just didn't pay a whole lot of attention to the ammo.
Thanks!
