    Oh man, I love the idea of that 60GR ammo being subsonic but still a lot of energy/relative velocity out of a 22LR (900fps), but unfortunately it seems like very few people are getting good results out of it because it recommends a 1:9 twist rate.

    I decided to look at all the 22LRs I have, and it wouldn't work in any of them:

    Henry Youth Lever, 1:16
    Savage Rascal, 1:16
    Remington 597, 1:16
    Ruger Single Ten, 1:14
    Browning 1911-22, Can't find it anywhere, but for obvious reasons I'd prefer not to use a handgun to kill something in my backyard.

    Does anyone know of a 22LR rifle that has a 1:8-1:10 twist?
    I don’t have a signature block.

    if you are going to carry sss I'm going to need ether a new barrel for 10/22 or a new 22 for trapping
    I have wanted to run ss trapping for long time

    I have had some success with Aquila SSS in just two rifles and one handgun.
    -Toz-8
    -Toz-17
    -Ruger Mk II (ran the action wonderfully)

    And the original iron sights will register much lower of course. Very dirty ammo BTW.

    just info

    PS: Kind of half success with a Winchester 490 & with a very clean barrel/action.
    Others on the internet report the Model 190 also does equally well with this SSS.
    Canadian government runs on trans, gays and French speaking women. Let them fight the next war over there.
    Myself i will crack a beer and merely watch.
