.22 Issues A Thing In The Past

Post by Sixgun »

Yep, it's all done. Targetmaster has the full line of everything in stock, with all of it sold in brick form or by the case. It will be a month or two but you boys out West will have it.

After me and my bud checked out the machine guns yesterday and then going home, I get a call and my bud wanted to know if I wanted some plinking ammo. I say's "sure, I don't like wasting my CCI Mini-Mags." So I cruise on down and he hands me a case of this stuff, some off the wall CCI ammo called "Green Tag". I guess the "green" means I' have the green light to go blasting at cans and rocks.

While I was there I filled out a 4473 on a Remington pump in 35, made in July of 1941 that looks like it just came off the assembly line.--------6

Green Tag is some of the most accurate .22 ammo I have found. It used to cost about double the price of other CCI .22`s. I still have a couple 100 rd. boxes that have been saved for my Remington 40X , It shoots one hole 5 shot groups at 50 yd with it. Good stuff! :D :D :D
Here is a target I shot with it@50yd.

I never knew this green tag was something special. So.....it's the stuff the guys with the Anschutz rifles and BMW's use? I thought the stuff was junk as my bud just gave it to me. He even had one of his guys carry it out to the Jeep....Ole Yeller.

No wonder I never liked those snobby pelosi heads. I always hung with the rednecks who shoot cast bullets and other cheap forms of shooting.

Learn somethin' new everyday. :D

Jason....throw me a number that conincides with the date of manufacture and condition and we will talk on that 35. It really is like new....nice and crispy, tight action and plenty of varnish on the wood. But......you know I got to play with it first.-----6

Yay know somethin'? Today, I was at Targetmaster and we were in the office examining these $8,000 German SS daggers........I had no idea what these things are worth.......must have had 10 of them, they were all pre-war, dated in the mid to late thirties. They all had the SS marks and skull and crossbones on them. While looking at them, I thanked my bud for the previous day's "donations" and he tells me not to be concerned as I'm the only person he has ever known, as he says it, "to tell it like it is".

thats my motto.....your either "cool" or you live on sheep mountain, where the sheep walk with a limp. :D ------6

Green tag really isn't plinking ammo - it's a fairly decent target ammo...... :shock:

On my way to help my father Saturday to move some gravel , I had to stop by Wally World and pick up some things for him. On my way by the sporting goods counter I noticed three people standing line .They had 22 ammo in with a limit of 3 , CCi 40 gr 100 round boxes. Three came home with me.

Six the 141 in 35 Remington is on the list of future purchases . I see a nice example about once a year.

Good score.........again Six.

I've got some of that German WWII stuff. Its really cool. None of mine is SS but it was all stuff relatives picked up "on the job"

Don't feel bad, I never heard of "green tag" either. They probably don't even send that stuff up here haha.

Ragnor,
Most likely not. First I'm gonna slam down some 200 cast bullets down her throat and see what it does. If it shoots, it's a keeper. Just a play toy at the gunclub for the 35 Rem.

Every since my late teens, for big game, while playing in the woods, if it was not an 1886 of some sort, I just did not feel comfortable.-------6

I'm hoping you are right Sixgun. I stopped by Wally-World this afternoon with the wife. As is my habit, I make a bee-line for the ammo counter, and then catch up with her; usually empty-handed and disappointed. I figured it would be the same, though the last time I was in, a few days ago, the ammo cabinet was as full as I have seen it in the last 4 years - except no .22 rimfire of any kind. Well, I read here that they were getting a bunch in and having a sale yesterday, so figured I was too late. Lo and behold, they still had a dozen 100-count boxes of CCI .22 LR! I bought my three (their limit), and the guy who walked up after me did the same. They either got a ship-load yesterday or people just don't look any more OR - hopefully you are right, and the frenzy is dying out.

Lovely 141/35, very nice. I had a 141/30 made in 1936 that was a tack driver with lead bullets. The barrel slugged at .3065".
I sold it to a Remington Collector that needed it for his collection.

Green Tag is economical low end target/match ammo. I've found that the CCI SV (plastic box), to be much more consistent and a lot less expensive.

This is good stuff. http://championshooters.com/index.php?o ... Itemid=111

This is serious stuff, for the 4 position guys. http://championshooters.com/index.php?o ... Itemid=111

CCI Standard Velocity does have better reputation than the Green Tag among local 50BR shooters. I've been using SK Standard Plus in my 52C-HB this past season because that's all I've been able to get.
