22 Ball ammo

Had our local Rod and Gun club dinner last weekend and this was part of the silent auction. Haven't seen this stuff since the mid 60's

DCM issued generic white box .22 LR standard velocity with lead bullet into the mid 1980s.

The FMJ M24 subsonic load for the High Standard suppressed pistol is less common.

Attachment 236526

One lot of that stuff had oversize bullets, Picked up about 300 rounds out at our range. Bullet was too big to chamber in my Smith and Wesson Model 18s./beagle

I had a case of Military 22lr. It's in plain white boxes but it's Remington not Win. Used it for plinking ammo, still have a few boxes left. I would like to have some 22lr with oversize bullets. I. Had some Federal 20yrs ago that was oversize. In rifles like 10/22 it would chamber but like putting it through a die it would cut a thin washer off
bullet and the rim would stop it. I put it aside to use in old Stevens favorites and it shot well in the worn old gun.
Still have a few boxes of it too. Lightnings was the type, in boxes of 50 back in $9.99 a brick prices.

Have about 5 FMJ ball rounds of 22 hornet for the Air Force survival gun. Looks like a baby 40mm round that shrunk. Frank

Still have some left from my pistol shooting days.
