Are you referring to the .22 rf single shot Ross rifle? I would suggest that you only shoot standard velocity (no hi velocity) ammunition or shorts. Hi Speed cartridges over time will break parts and the cases will self eject from the gun.
Yes. Thanks for the tip on the ammo...I've some old T22 winchester fodder around here...ill be sure to use itOriginally Posted by breakeyp
I have a couple of them and the markings on them are very different. one has the c and broad arrow on the receiver, barrel plus the stock while the other one doesnt and only has the Quebec marker on the stock with the different rack numbers and regimental numbers. Does anyone know the difference?
Interweb is quite vague on the matter... if you shoot yours...what brand of shells do you use? I thought T22's would be the ticket, but the Chrono says they are rolling about 1250 fps, better with old Dominion fodder... only 1100-1150 fps.
I'm thinking subsonic is gonna be the end desire... that weak arse stuff for acreage owners to use to not offend the neighbors.
I havent tried shooting them yet. but I have heard 22 short may be the best or 22lr thats under powered
They are a cute little rifle. Any markings on the woodwork?

I use CCI standard velocity target in my 1912. Velocity is 1070 fps with 40 gr. lead round nose bullets.

Don,t use shorts they don,t shoot very good in rifles chambered for .22 long rifle.
everyone should use cast bullets.
Member , CSSA,
Mine shoots cci shorts quite well. Its all ive ever shot out of it.
They were sold to individuals, schools, and the Dept. of Militia and Defence; markings would depend on which. Did cadet corps purchase their own or were they supplied by the Dept. of M&D?
