Have you tried an O ring yet?
No, not yet. I havent messed with it in quite a while. every time I buy an action to "keep" my .222 barrel on I end up building somthing else! Steve |

I wonder what a before and after chrono test with the o ring would produce. I'm sure it will up the velocity, just wonder how much.
When I get some free time I gotta try this one. For now those CB rounds are very accurate, but they will richochet way too easy, and even a 29gr slug will hurt something at those speeds.

slightly off topic, but anyone tried one of the Gamo 22 high velocity guns ? (seems like easier... and more law "friendly"  Or one of the slower subsonic systems would be quiet if that's a concern |

I had some primed brass that was splitting at the neck with full power loads so I had to use them for something else. I tried a few things then decided to put some 22 caliber bellets in the end of the case and used only the primer to launch them. They were very quiet and decently accurate out to 25 yards. Drop was about 5 inches but they grouped within an inch. No where near as fast as a 22lr but seemed a littel faster than CB's. The primers were CCI400's and my barrel is 18".
I have used Clays to load some slow stuff but it was inconsistent. I suspect you could use Trailboss and get better results because it is a fluffier powder, filling the case more.

It was common practice where i grew up to use a single shot .22. The way it was done is to remove the bullet from a .22 short, put a peice of cotten in it's place and a drop of wax to hold it there. Take a .22 cleaning rod cut to whatever length needed, insert in barrel and a peice of tape over the end of the barrel.
This is how unwanted critters were removed from the area very quietly, with a .22 long rifle it would penatrate a 2x4. blue

I used to put a small (smallest) lee dipper of 3F in my 22-250 with a standard primer and a Benjamin pellet for backyard duties as a kid. Worked like a charm. Don't forget to clean up real good when done playing.
If I remember right I think Benjamin used to sell 22 cal lead ball; might be something to think about.

Did this with a 17 cal K-Hornet out of a Contender pistol. Turned a solid brass case witha 1-16th hole through the length, then drilled for a 17 caliber pellet at the neck and a large rifle mag primer in the base. Was good for head shots on rabbits out to 20 yards. All you heard was the hammer on the Contender falling.  |

Hmmmm, does anyone know how hard the steel in a "Go" headspace guage is? That would be just about perfect, except for the missing neck!

What about taking a case and filling it with JB Weld, letting it harden then drilling it? Just a thought Dolomite |
