Also not mentioned are the matches shot here in the U.S.A. from 50~200 yards that was common up until the end of the Korean War, or thereabouts.
Check the history of Jack Hessian, the BEST rifle shooter to ever have squeezed the trigger…

BTW- the BB and CB cap are still on the market, and I know a boatload of people who still shoot them in their basement or living room during inclement weather. Check out the CCI QUITE .22 @ 710 fps!

The only [?] .22 MAG auto pistol on the market is the KelTec PMR-30, a remake of the old Grendel- but good luck finding one. From what I hear, they have finally gotten all the bugs out of it…

.22 LR on BIG GAME??? Well, sure, it CAN be done, [whitetail, headshot, from 3~10 feet, sure] but why risk (1) loosing the meat, and (2) getting arrested. Goes back to the old adage, “Use Enough Gun”.

Browning BLA shoots straing every time.

While I agree with Van Zwoll, I wish the bun makers would come up with more of a selection of guns using the .22 magnum, a round I prefer. I have not seen a really good auto pistol for this one.

I sure had hoped for a much more indepth history of the .22 LR, and especially, some more current info on small, mid-size, and big game the round is capable of taking down. Ahh well……
