In the late 60's, my Dad bought a box of .22LR "Frangible" shells for shooting woodchucks in a semi rural area. I think they were made of small lead particles somehow glued together. The projectile would disintegrate when it something solid.

My Model 90 in .22 WRF with 16" barrels and 13" LOP. I bought it for my grandkids at a show a couple of years ago and they've had some fun shooting it with me.

Dean,
That's a very neat Model 90, especially with the tang sight. The 22WRF ammo is not common but still available. CCI makes it. Yes, it has to be fun shooting it. Bill |

Winchester no longer catalogs the WRF. The first limited run was in 1986 with a follow-on in 1994. It was produced for quite a few years, only recently being discontinued. I am glad I built up a nice stash!

Notice that Winchester ammo box says "Splatterpruf".
Remington Special Gallery .22 shorts were "Spatterless" and the Western Cartridge Co. gallery ammo was "Kant-Splash". |

When I was in grade school the students were given a news paper,I think it was called weekly reader.It had an add for 22 shells that break apart on impact.I think they were called Remington Rockets.Probably same as gallery rounds.
