Picked up the single six over the weekend.
6.5" bbl, fixed sights (model NR-6FL).
Glad I went with fixed sights cause it shoots just fine and looks way better.
I only shot a few cylinders of the .22 magnum but the .22 LR was a lotta fun. Probably will hardly ever use the mag cylinder because of the price of the ammo, and I wasn't very impressed with the accuracy compared to the LR...
The CCI CB Longs are 29 grain rounds at 710 fps velocity. They sound like a cap gun and were very accurate. They will be awesome patio plinking rounds. You could ALMOST shoot those in a city neighborhood.
I also tried both calibers rat shot through the .22 LR and mag cylinders. Both sizes opened up the size of a car at 7 yards.
I tried 9 different types/ brands of .22 LR through it, ranging from shorts, longs and LR. The best groupers and the closest ones to point of aim (remember fixed sights) were the Remington Golden Bullets, which is cool b/c none of my other guns like that bullet and I have a thousand of them.
I shot about 250 or more rounds through it the first afternoon and ended the shooting spree by picking up the .44 mag. BIG MISTAKE! that was wild!
I'm very interested in hearing recommendations from you regarding the ammo that your single six likes and also what holsters you are using with yours. I'm in the market for a decent holster. I'm not picky I just want a USA made holster.
Thanks for reading!
