Hadn't heard of these. Interesting development.

They're going to be popular with some small game hunters.

Nearly renders 22 magnum a moot point

Not even close, 22 mag is approx the same speed with a bullet double the weight.

For what its worth, I got my hands on some of these a few months ago and was frankly disappointed. I tried them is several different rifles ( if I recall, a Marlin bolt, a Ruger 10-22 and a Remington 797) and accuracy was disappointing. None of these rifles are what I would call tack drivers but regular CCI mini mags and stingers were far more accurate. Also (and I am attributing this to the extremely light ceramic (?) projectile) one of the semis would not cycle reliably using this ammo. I'll stick with the stingers........

And is stable past 75 yards.

And is stable past 75 yards.

It's also 3x as expensive ...

It's also 3x as expensive ...

2x, the best CCI and Hornady can be had for $22 all in. If your OK with 50 grain Federal, that goes on sale twice a month for $12 a box, so same price as this. I hear what your saying though, WMR is definitely more expensive than LR, but this particular ammo doesn't seem like its going to be the game changer.

My experience also.

I am buying a brick, should be a ball on marmottes. Holala...

Damn, those are some screamin lil two two's. Too bad I don't have a gun that eats them.

 

[riversrest]

I will buy a box to see if any of my rifles like it. But to order a box for testing isn't worth the shipping costs so I'll wait until they are available locally. Until then I stick to Stingers, Velocitors, Interceptors and the newer release of Yellow Jackets.

Bought a box of these last year for my CZ455. Accuracy wasn't nearly as good as the stuff I normally shoot, but certainly minute of small game. They're also hilariously loud.

Most 22 rifles are 1:16 twist, I’ve traditionally had poor accuracy the more I’ve deviated from the 36-40g bullets
