    22LR_Aguila_60gr_SSS.jpg

    Came across these on internet but never saw them for sale in shops - asked gun dealer about them and he had never heard of them.

    I wonder would they be very unstable causing 'keyholing' at any distance?

    Would the normal rate of twist 1 in 16 in a .22LR be unsuitable for these fellows?

    Has anybody ever tried them?

    From a quick search on the net, it was designed for 1 in 9 twist
    Its a longer round than normal, and it can keyhole in some guns

    What's keyholing? I'm unfamiliar with that term.

    Bullets at bottom of target have keyholed - gone in sideways rather than straight which creates a keyhole shape

    When we were over in Vegas late last year, a non-shooting buddy of mine managed to get a magnificent cluster of keyholes in his target; at 8 yards, with an M16 on full auto! :eek:
    He brought the target home with him, so I'll take a photo the next time I see him and post it here.

    Nope. We (us Paddys and some American buddies) looked in there and decided it was too much of a 'shove 'em through and get the money' place for us.

    We went to Discount Firearms over on South Highland.
    Nice relaxed atmosphere, friendly range staff, good fun had by all.

    I suppose you're right about that! Still, nowhere else had the mighty M249 SAW to fire:eek:! Ahhh memories.... Must try that other place you mentioned next time I'm over.
