Thread: Cutting Edge .22lr ammo - what do you guys make of this?

These ammo, individually machined, and made of solid copper, wil be more expensive than standard 22WM and 17 HMR. possibly approaching the price of bulk 223.

You dont save money on the gun either, since you will have to get a new 9 or 6 twist barrel plus installation.

Its the same appeal as shooting ELR with a centrefire, not to take game effectively but the skill and challenge.

Rimfire ELR is a lot cheaper and more accessible than centrefire, much easier to shoot 22lr safely at 500m than 308 and 1500m, or 3000m with a proper ELR cartridge.
