Might go real good with the Bullet Burbon you sent me...
  

Wish I had friends like that. Hmmm maybe not. But Bert at least Ben is willing to compensate you for the 'poor' quality rifle he sold you. BaHahahah!

You two kill me,

True that! This thread inspired me to toss a couple in the car when I went to run my traps today. That ammo isn't getting any younger and neither are we. As you may have noticed by the price tag on one box I haven't bought ammo in awhile. I have less than a thousand rounds of 22WMR but at this rate I'll never need to buy more.

I have a partial box of ancient Super-X (silver paper box) but my NAA revolver is sighted in for it so I wanted to save it.😉

Mike,
I have 2,900 rounds of the Super-X (silver paper box)... I am quite sure that I can resupply you at Cody.  Shoot up that old partial box!
Bert
  

That would last me quite awhile, Bert. That partial box is at least 20 and possibly 30 years old and I've only managed to fire 31 rounds out of it. Those little hideout revolvers are slow to shoot and even slower to reload. Kinda easy on the ammo. Seems your rifle likes it better than anything else you've tried in it, might be worth keeping around.

I will never shoot that many rounds through it.  In addition to the Super-X ammo, I have another 700 rounds of CCI, Federal,  Hornady, and Remington 22 Magnum ammo.  I have two pistols that I can shoot it in (PMR-30 and an original Ruger Single Six convertible).  I need to start shooting more of my rim fires...

Mike,  which R-word model is it?  
  

It's an old 597 Magnum. One of the first 17HMR's. They had problems with it but it shot very well for me and a few guys I know. Too bad it's a 22WMR now, well with Minute of Coyote from here to my back fence, tho.

if it”s any consolation the 61M was never intended to be a target rifle and the one you beat Ben out of is certainly a lot easier in the eyes than my polymer and phosphate coyote club. Photos of the R-word are NOT forthcoming! Attached 50 yard target is not bragging material but it certainly shows promise.

Personally I could never figure why any one would want a .22 magnum especially with a .22 hornet or the .22 Win. c.f. available. Any game doable with a .22 mag. was pretty much doable with a .22 l.r. Now saying that I knew fellas that went deer hunting with a .22, because it was the only gun they had. Then on the other end I knew fellas that used a .303 Enfield on jack rabbits,. I had a .22 hornet many years ago that shot many "killer" ground hogs and put many cottontails in the pot, it would still be about My favorite cartridge if I was still hunting, I would just need to find one in a lever action with a "red dot" sight on it so I could hit something. 
  

For carrying & hunting, the Winchester Model 43 is my favorite 22 Hornet rifle.  I have mine scoped with a Leupold VX-II 2x7, and with factory Remington 45-gr HP ammo, it shoots sub MOA (dime sized) groups @ 100-yds
