i'm not too sure where to ask this question, so... sorry if it's in the wrong place.
so here's my stupid question:
would it be a terrible idea to shoot .22 airgun pellets through a .22 rifle (NOT an airgun, a real .22lr rifle) using .22 ramsets to propel them?
here's a little more info:
i've shot the ramsets out of the rifle to scare away birds and cats, so i know they'll work. they're a little dirty but not much dirtier than cheap old bulk remington ammo. they're essentially .22lr blanks as far as i can tell.
the rifle is an old, single shot (savage?) that's pretty worthless and beat up (ugly, rusty) but safe to shoot and shoots ok but not good or great... in other words: i don't mind if it gets hurt, so long as i don't get hurt.
why do i want to do this?:
curiosity mostly. that and i want to see how accurate and flat the ammo shoots compared to regular bulk ammo. i imagine that if this works like it does in my head, those pellets will come screaming out of the muzzle.
well, there it is. be gentle, it's my first time!
