    When you take it to the dump, do you just leave it in a container and label it "lead acetate" or something? It always makes me curious how the hazardous waste guys know how to handle the different stuff.

    Got to the range finally. All my handloads (first time loading!) worked perfectly. So that was pretty awesome. Chorno (first time using one) also worked perfectly. New barrel (16.1") on my 10/22 was meh. Winchester usually isn't that accurate for me and the Winchester Subs proved that. I attached the silencer and holy heck! My group sizes dropped by at least 50%. 50yd groups were running 1.5-2" with Winchester 45 and 40gr subs and went down to about a silver dollar size for 10 shot groups. CCI Suppressor was the best at closer to quarter size 50yd groups (also much smaller groups with the silencer on, but didn't shrink as much).

    Silly quiet also. Sadly guys were blazing away on the other pistol range so I couldn't shoot with ears off (though I did pull out one ear plug for a couple of seconds just to pop off a couple. I'll be honest I've never done a mag dump in my life (largely because the ranges I use that's pretty frowned on). But I did dump a 10 round mag through the silencer because it was just so silly stupid quiet. It felt like a quieter paintball gun.

    I did find Aguila subs don't work in the gun. Also CCI Quiet semi-autos didn't really want to run. Which is odd because they worked fine in the 18" barrel. Maybe just some break-in needed or something? Aguilas were massively short stroking, not picking up the next ground. Mostly the same with the CCI Quiet semi-autos, but the last 3 in the mag ran just fine. Weird. I've run at least 150 through the 18" barrel with no issues.

    I didn't have enough time to run a lot with the silencer off. Just ran a mag to get it zeroed and then slapped the silencer on for about 60 rounds or so of a few different ammos to try out.

    This stuff works great cycling my S&W 15-22.

    Ops but just posting for reference . 970fps I
