The SRG's are mighty fast, and Long Rifle to boot... My gallery rifle (62A Winchester Pump) is chambered for Shorts only.

John, I agree the SRG Long rifle ammo at over 1600fps is probably too fast and that folks would want a round they could use in the older .22 short gallery guns. That is why yesterday I said the SRG "may" be a solution, not "is the" solution. I was referring to the type of bullet it uses and probably should have made it more clear what I meant. Sorry for any confusion I may have caused. I called CCI this morning (5/26) and discussed with one of their engineers his thoughts on the feasibility of loading a SRG bullet in a .22 short case at lower velocity and its suitability for the steel target shooting gallery application. Please send me a PM if you would like to discuss this further.

Snap Cap, You beat me to it, I was going to contact them today...
Did they say if the bullets would 'splatter'? They'd definitely need to be frangible, and being light is a plus for gallery target longevity.
