What I found yesterday is either the 10/22 has a light firing pin or Remington Thunderbolt has a hard primer.
I suspect The Remington ammo has a hard primer and the tube fed 22 rifles have a meaner firing pin for safety reasons.
Don’t need no bullets in the pipe causing a chain reaction in the tube mag with nose to primer.
This **** gets serious with 44 mag tube fed lever action rifles.
Interesting, the only tube fed rifle I have is a 70’s vintage Weatherby Mark XXII. Never shot it with TB’s.
I am in search of a 1873 Winchester clone for Cowboy shooting.
