Post pictures of your woodpile/splitting area

I'm sorry to hear that. You put up an impressive amount of wood and should be proud. Mechanical breakdowns are always gonna happen eventually and there's never a good time for them to happen. Hopefully you get your back sorted out.

Thanks. I got my cortisone shot today. Said it will take 1-2 weeks to take full affect.

Three rows stacked in the shed, two more to go. Been too hot to do much else but stack. I'm tempted to have some more footing dug and start another shed....

You sent a man to do a boy's job. Use .22 longs. Quieter and more funner. Lol

well it was sneaky, so I moved about 100 yards away, I guess he didn't see me.

I know all three were made since the model 514 my great grandmother gave me lists it on the barrel, just never seen longs.

I was referring to .22 long rifles.

makes sense. Still curious, were longs shorter?

Yes. Halfway between short and LR

 

[briantutt]

I actually would like some of those. are they still made?

Not sure. I sometimes come across some old .22 Ammo. Those old rifles take anything you can give them. I think the .22 Longs are longer than the .22 LR. By quite a bit. Nice little punch to the .22 Longs.

Not sure if I am referring to the correct verbiage for the round. Lol

Longs are shorter than Long Rifle. .22 magnum rimfire is longer and more powerful than long rifle.

The .22 magnum is what I was referring too. Sorry for the confusion. Been a long hot day up here. Lol.
The .22 Magnums are a very nice round indeed.

 

[briantutt]

okay, I have seen .22 mag, those look fun but totally different chamber

Brian

 

[ri chevy]

Yup. Casing is a bit longer.

.22 long rifle is a .22 long case with a longer heavier bullet. As I understand the development sequence of the once popular three rounds, the short came first, then the long (same bullet as short but longer case) and then the long rifle. Not sure if the long is still made. Shorts are hard enough to find.* There are also many other variants, but these three were popular when I was young. Ron

My grandfather was a fan of the short. Almost 50 years ago, we bought him a little Browning auto that was chambered for shorts only. Someone in the family still has it. I got the long rifle version at the same time. I really wanted a Model 94 30-30, but Pop intervened and spent my money on the little Browning. I wasn't happy about it at the time but in hindsight, it is probably worth more now and I have no doubt put more than 10,000 rounds through it.

Prior to the short there were the bb cap and cb cap which were extra extra short and extra short rounds respectively.
