Now for an explanation of why we still have long as opposed to long rifle .22 ammunition. What’s the point?
It has been almost 45 years ago that a clerk in the store where I used to buy most of my .22LR opinionated that the .22 long was still being inventoried in that particular store "because there are a lot of idiots around here."
Harsh.
Inertia... Many shotgun shell boxes are still marked with Dram Equivalents, which is a throwback to black powder.
