Your Cheese Whiz & crackers arrive Thursday too... 🙂
  

It will with any doubt be a banner day

I think Ben is implying it should shoot "1 minute of Ritz" (MoR) with the proper Cheez Whiz lubricant.
  

The Winter rain season has begun in here in the PNW, and coupled with Standard time, daylight hours are getting very short these days. Range time is significantly curtailed for the next 4-months.

I have almost no remaining empties to reload, so I am doing a detailed survey & inventory of my bullet, primer, and powder supplies.  I recently scored 2.5 lbs of IMR 4064, and I have an 8-lb keg of IMR 4350 arriving sometime Thursday afterenoon.

Sounds kinda messy but also kinda fun. My club shoots poker chips at 200 yards, maybe we could shoot at Ritz crackers. With Bert's 61M a fair number would survive to supply refreshments. I think I'll take my ugly R-word to the range again and see if I can do any better. I'll take along a good target rifle or two for comparison. May even take along the OtherR-word (Ruger American in 17HMR) just because I'm stuck with a fair bit of that ammo as well. 

It appears I blew a prediction earlier today but I suspect the peep-sighted 52C Target will more than give those two scoped R-words a run for their money!

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.
