dazza Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 I was given these today. There 22lr rounds that contain lead dust, apparently they can do a lot of damage at close range. Also got a box of Winchesters anybody ever used them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter_HMR Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Does the crimped .22wmr cases if so they're made by federal never used them in my gun no a farmer who uses them and id say johns got it with ft not yards wouldnt want to be hittting anythign over 30feet with them really close range work around buildings is all they're good for. on the federal premium website go to ammo -> rimfire -> .22lr -> no. 12 lead shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dog Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Yes designed for shooting rats in barns or indoors. No way will they kill at 30 yards - think about it, a 12g killing zone is 25 - 35 yrs maybe a bit more They are like mini cartridges, but are a little more than just dust, but I know what you mean, very light grain. You won't get blow back if shooting a rat in a corner at close range Use them to often and they will damage your rifling in the barrel. Clean rifle well before and after use, as you do anyway.
