The "Spatterproof" bullets are of a clay substance as I recall. Our local shooting range was not a travelling carnival, but a 12 month a year amusement park called Glen Echo Amusement Park. It still exists as a NPS facility with the original dance hall and carousel still active. Glen Echo is a riverfront town adjacent to DC and Bethesda, MD. It was a real treat to have a day at Glen Echo when we were kids.

Yes Dean, your model 90 (1890) would be much nicer than a M67: your 90 would be a pump action, outside hammer, tube magazine, octagon barrel and crescent steel butt plate. Similar to my model 62A in the above pictures. Your M90 shortened for a boy or make it more like a carbine. Originally, the 1890/90's had 24 inch octagon barrels.
Chief Roundsworth - you're right. That "WINCHESTER SUPER SPATTERPRUF rim fire cartridge is specially designed for use in shooting galleries. The bullet is specially compounded to disintergrate into fine particles and dust on striking a metal target or backstop in properly constructed and maintained shooting galleries . . ." according to the back panel on the box. They are much lighter than a standard .22 Short and look different: 24.5 grains for the gallery short vs 38.3 grains for the standard .22 Short according to my powder scale. Likely that dense clay material that Bill Murphy describes? Last edited by Bill Jolliff; 02-07-2015 at 11:35 AM.. Reason: Additional information |
