Browning Preformance Rimfire Ammo
Has anyone had any good or bad results with the Browning PRF .22LR ammo? I have tried it in my bolt action 22's both single and mag fed and also a 10/22 with good results at steel critters out to 100 yds.Sorry but a 22 lever action is one I do not own.Had a chance back in 2003 to buy a New Rem Nylon lever action but when it got to $200 which was the book price then I let it go.Seems like the only other bidder was gonna buy it no matter what.Some of the shooters use lever guns at the shoots I go to in Lancaster,Co Pa.We will be starting again in April the third Sunday each month thru October.Want more info let me know via this post.

Nope, I've never tried that particular ammo......I always thought a Rem Nylon Lever would be cool.

Lancaster? Right down the road from me...you ever hang out at the Atglen Gun Club? That's my third home.
Re: Browning Preformance Rimfire Ammo
My only .22 lever IS a Nylon. We always want what we don't have. I kick myself for not buying Browning, Winchester, or Marlin back when they didn't cost more than a nice .30-30.
Finding the ammo that your .22 prefers is the Holy Grail in silhouette shooting. I have a 10" Contender barrel that liked the cheap Federals of the time, or even Winchester Wildcats. It's 14" brother would have none but RWS Target. My 9 1/2" barreled Single Six was mediocre with everything that I tried.

Re: Browning Preformance Rimfire Ammo
I haven't tried it as most of my best shootin tooty twos like Eley stuff. All that I've seen or read of the Browning ammo has been good.

I picked up a box last week. Haven't had a chance to shoot any yet.

Re: Browning Preformance Rimfire Ammo
Browning .22 ammo is all rebranded Winchester rimfire stuff. If your firearm likes Winchester ammo, the parallel Browning .22 ammo should work fine.
Re: Browning Preformance Rimfire Ammo
I have tried it in a carry gun. At the range, it grouped pretty well, but what impressed me was the muzzle flash, or I should say, the minimal flash compared to some other ammo.
