I guess that rules out 22 MRF.

You don’t always need heavy loads in a survival rifle. I can keep meat on the stick with a .22 short.

You have shot up t.v.'s in the basement?

I wasn’t talking about using 22 MRF for meat on the stick. :0) I’m talking for my PMR 30

OMG! I was just looking at putting a bullet trap in the basement.

Do you need special ventilation for that?

It really depends how open the basement is and how many rounds you shoot. I have smoke alarms and CO monitors and nothing I’ve done at a hundred or so rounds at a time have triggered them.

A hundred .22lr rounds?

I was thinking I could shoot handgun rounds without have to drive to Podunk to the range.

“Is that .25 cal. a rimfire cartridge?”

Yes!
They haven’t been loaded since the forties.
I have gotten a few bangs from blanks.
There is a nailgun cartridge that uses .25 cal rimfire blanks. I think it is listed as .27 cal with a little plastic you have to remove.

“Is it a .25 Stevens?I have one of those,can’t find ammo.”

It uses the long cartridge but completely homemade!
One shot at a time.
It uses a thick barrel probably made from something like a Model T axle. A hand forged breech block a few pins made from available hardware. The stock is nice cherry wood from the property I still own.
The process for rifling was well known in the “old days”. I found the instructions in the Foxfire 5 book.

The ammo is hard to find but I did find somebody at the Indy 1500 gun show that specializes in old ammo. Yep $100 a box.

Yeah. Components are plentiful and about as cheap as they’re going to get so stock up now. Also .22 LR is available.

I stocked up on .22 LR a few years ago when things started getting tough - then kept disciplined and didn't shoot it all up. Went through a lot of 9 MM but a friend and I get together and do enough reloading to make that OK.

Same here. Have been saving the .22 and shooting centerfire.
