Default First Time Out With This

The Taurus TX22, just some plinking and target shooting fun, I am by no means an expert, never was, I usually fell into the occasional sharpshooter or mostly marksman designation when qualifying.

My age, eyesight, and a bad case of arthritis in my right shoulder is not helping out but I still like to shoot.

I do not like futzing around reloading mags, so from now on I'll preload 16 rounds per mag and fire off 96 per session, plenty for me.

I'm planning on going once a week at this new range, who knows, I may get better............

Sounds like a good plan. Most 22lr ammo is soft lead. Typically by the time I shoot 100 rounds bullets are hitting the target sideways (keyholing) because of leading in the barrel.

Maglula makes top shelf mag reloaders.

Check into these https://www.maglula.com/product-cate...rs=product_cat[31]

I just purchased the 9mm to .45 double stack mag loaders and it works perfectly and EASY.

The AR mag loader is pretty slick too.

Did I miss the range (distance) on that target?

Got a mag loader with the pistol, works well.

easy solution.... every couple of mags, put a shot of this stuff down the barrel. Works great and will clean out the lead deposits. I have friends that reload and they use either lead rounds or teflon coated lead rounds. Never have a problem with it when you use this stuff.
