Ah! Found it! Scroogle.org to the rescue! http://www.naaminis.com/naaveloc.html   According to everything they offer there, if you use 22lr, you should use CCI Stingers, Feeral Classic 31gr HP, or Remington Yellow Jacket.   Their data showed the Magnum rounds to deliver more velocity.  And the Magnum round to use is the CCI Maxi Mag +V.   2guntom --- On Sat, 8/22/09, Freddie P. <fpitt1@...> wrote: From: Freddie P. <fpitt1@...> Subject: Re: [2guntom] Re: INTERESTING LETTER [What Do YOU Carry?] To: 2guntom@yahoogroups.com Date: Saturday, August 22, 2009, 9:24 PM I'll look around for them!  I can't remember exactly where I seen the info we've been discussing. --- On Fri, 8/21/09, 2guntom <twoguntom2007@...> wrote: From: 2guntom <twoguntom2007@...> Subject: Re: [2guntom] Re: INTERESTING LETTER [What Do YOU Carry?] To: 2guntom@yahoogroups.com Cc: "NAA Group" <naaminiguns@yahoogroups.com>, "NAA Owns Group Message Post" <NAAOG@yahoogroups.com> Date: Friday, August 21, 2009, 8:39 AM Does anybody have a link to articles or charts with data for the 22lr and 22mag cartridges out of 1-1/8, 1-5/8, 2, and 4 inch barrels? --- On Tue, 8/18/09, Freddie P.. <fpitt1@...> wrote: From: Freddie P. <fpitt1@...> Subject: Re: [2guntom] Re: INTERESTING LETTER [What Do YOU Carry?] To: 2guntom@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, August 18, 2009, 10:20 PM I too have heard the stories and seen the ballistics charts to prove what you said is true about the .22LR nearly matching the .22Mag in these little revolvers.  My main reason for preferring the Mag is purely ergonomics!  It just fits better!!  I've had both and sold the LR version for the simple fact was it was just too small for me!  I like things with a little more size to carry.  You know, like a Ruger Alaskan!!
