I had planned on making this a rimfire rendezvous weekend, but unfortunately my daughter decided to come with me and bring 6 of her friends. They are 12 years old and a handful! They are great kids but full of energy.
I see realized that I would not have a ton of time for shooting So after a morning of swimming and then getting them settled into a movie this afternoon I grab a couple of my rimfire revolvers and headed out for some plinking.
I brought my Ruger Wrangler and my 1956 K22. I realize these are too completely different kinds of guns , but I shoot them quite a bit in the desert so I thought it would be fun to compare them side-by-side.
I had 2 different types of ammunition: Winchester wildcat, and Remington golden bullets. The winchesters were the worst shooting of the bunch, especially out of the ruger! It was basically more of a pattern than group. The Remington on the other hand shot well which made me very happy because I have a ton of it.
The K22 especially like The Remington and gave me the best group of the day. Single action, at about 15 yds, and you could cover it with a nickel.
After shooting at paper, I spent the rest of the afternoon just relaxing and plinking at targets in the desert. I brought my steel rimfire target, and the poor, canejo flaco, took a shellacking from the K22.
All and all it was a great afternoon and a ton of fun. It's nice to just sit on the tailgate, load up some rimfire, and have a relaxing afternoon.
