22 Ammunition | A Brief Discussion

Wish the title had been "22 Ammunition: The Long and Short of It."

Wow this man makes it feel like I'm sitting in a room one on one with him. He speaks clearly with no room for interpreting things wrong. He's a true teacher

This is well explained. While I haven't experience this issue, I just assumed "22 Long" was shorthand for "22 Long rifle". Now I know better. Thank you.

My Grandfather bought a Sears Ranger .22 bolt action in 1940. The barrel is stamped.22 short, long, and long rifle. It was made by Savage and uses a detachable magazine. It will feed pretty much any .22 ammo we’ve ever fed it.

This guy makes one hell of a teacher. So on point and such a wealth of knowledge. Thank you.

thanks to allen. most firearms experts just throw out terms and technology, this guy actually tells it to a normal dude like me in a way i understand, thank you.

I have learned more about .22 in this brief video than my whole life prior. You have made an excellent educational video, thank you.

I learned something today. THANK YOU. A jaded boomer here, never owned a firearm, but always had an interest in handguns and fired a few bigger calibers.

Wisdom, knowledge and no bs in every video

As someone who's just recently started using a .22 rifle after years of 7.62 and 5.56 rifles this was an education, thank you.

One of the best discussions I've ever watched about .22, very useful for begginers shooters like me :)

I've learned more from this man, and this channel, than from anywhere else on firearms and everything that goes with them. Excellent channel.

Back in 1954-55, when I was about 9 or 10, my dad took me to a small country fair and taught me how to shoot at one of those old shooting gallery's. When you talked about it, it brought back a lot of memories. He made me stand back and watch the other shooters. I asked him why, he said that we wanted a rifle that seemed more accurate. He explained that these rifles got a lot of use and it was not uncommon for them to have badly worn barrels.

I'm 50 years old and have always thought .22L and .22LR were the same. Quite embarrassed, but now I know. Thank you!

I remember us kids bringing our 22 s and .410 or 20 gauge shotguns to school and keeping them in our lockers so we could go hunting as soon as school let out. We could see the woods and fields from the school. It was no big deal. Now look at the mess we’re in!

I love learning just how little I knew about a subject. Very informative, and easy to understand.

I remember my dad and I shooting 22s at the fair. I'm only 57. The rifle was loaded through the butt stock. Mom mom let me use her dads Remington Sportsmaster when I was 10 or 12. It fired Shorts, Longs, Long Rifle in any order from a tube magazine. Good times.

You're a natural teacher. Do more videos like this!

Very detailed and easy to understand. I am 78 years old and have been shooting 22's all my life. I have NEVER even heard of a "long'. We always used LR. I don't remember seeing a long on the shelf where I bought ammo. The little guy, we always called a "CB". You're right on, you can barely hear that one go off. Thanks for you excellent presentation on this common ammo.

I once had a 'store brand' Remington Speedmaster, JC Higgins or Revelation I think, with a long barrel and a tube magazine that held an insane amount of 22 shorts. Tons of fun long before Ruger 10-22 hi-capacity magazines were a thing. Though the 22 short doesn't get much respect, when S&W brought out their Model 1 revolver it was considered a good self-defense round. Of course before modern medicine, getting shot anywhere by anything meant a good chance of becoming dead soon. In an accurate rifle it still does excellently for small game with it's soft report not scaring the rest of the game away into the next county.
