But where would we find gallery ammo that won't ricochet of spatter?

Why, RST of course.

Dean is correct!

Look at this box of Disintegrating ammo which Destry recently sold on this forum. Notice anything special, like the word Disintegrating?

Let's be careful out there!

Seven yards is deemed safe for steel in USPSA. Those small silhouettes could be troublesome at that distance. It would be fun to have a chance at them with my 62 gallery. Bob
I use CB caps from CCI for silhouettes at home. 29gr at 710fps and no hearing protection needed.

Some of those animal targets look cast. Standard .22 ammo could break them, in addition to ricocheting. Without anti-spatter ammo, that gallery is just a museum piece.

Dean, Mark, and John, CCI SRG may be a possible ammo solution. 21 grain compressed copper powder polymer binder bullet.

I would be interested in taking a shot at restoring a gallery like that. Whatever the expense, it would be wonderful when finished. Is it for sale? Where is it? By the way, a fully restored gallery was auctioned or raffled at the first PGCA Meeting at Nashville. I think that was about 1998.
