tikabenelli Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Hi All, I have recently acquired a box of 22LR shot shells and was wondering if it safe to shoot these through my CZ452 with a sound moderator on. Also would it cause any damage to the rifling inside the barrel. Any advise would be greatly received. ATB Tikabenelli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddoakley Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Take the mod of and they are fine. I use them for rats in a stable where we dont have time to get any sort of aim with a scope(air gun) or dont want to blow holes in walls. Only good to a few yards though and you will want to clean rifle after so maybe re-zero. Did you get the crimmed ones or the ones with the plastic dome?

I didnt want to chance using them until I found out a bit more about them. thnks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 with the greatest respect dont bother with them. they wont do nothing that subs will do. Errrrr!! they do have their moments, they turn your rifle into a short range shotgun, better suited for use on the move, have a bit of spread and potentially more knockdown on a rat than a .22lr which will almost always go clean through without any expansion. They are also far better suited for close range internal barn type work, so I would have to suggest they do quite a lot different to subs! ATB!!

Dekers Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Take your mod off and clean the rifle thoroughly after use, they can be very useful for rats but remember they are a very close range tool. I haven't used any for ages, but one pal in particular who still uses them quite a lot has a Dedicated old .22lr for the job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddoakley Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Have to agree with Dekers that they are completely different proposition to subs. they have their use, which is very limited but definately useful. I prefer to use the ones with the plastic tip as i think that the crimped ones can scratch the bore when they open out as the often dont open evenly in my experience.

humperdingle Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Bear in mind that the cases do have a tendency to expand in the chamber as the crimp un folds. This can lead to extraction problems - Just make sure you take a rod with you to poke the empty out if it gets stuck. Also, you might want to pattern a couple on a large sheet of paper - The rifled bore tends to give a hollow circular pattern, meaning you might well miss what you're aiming at. Stick to under 5 yards for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humperdingle Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 With regard to using them with a mod fitted... I personally wouldn't. I opened up a case to see what the shot was like, and it's pretty randomly formed - Not many perfect spheres. If the muzzle is more than a couple of inches from the furthest baffle, you'll probably get bits of shot hit it. They're not particularly loud rounds anyway.

Vince Green Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 You can get, and I remember them being advertised, .22 shotguns. Little bolt action jobs. Very cheap, unfortunately I haven't seen one for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
