Haven’t shot my thunder .380 in years and just noticed what appears to be a chipped barrel after a recent trip to the range.
Do I need a new barrel? Can a new barrel be had for less than what the gun costs?
25 yard indoor range, seated with bipod.
36 grain Mini-Mag HP worst of the bunch ~1.5”
40 grain Mini-Mag RN, SV and Sub-Sonic HP all ~1-1.25”.
I’ve only had my 10/22 for a couple of months and am still trying to figure out which rounds are going to be best for both squirrel/rabbit hunting (which I’ve never done) and target shooting (bulk). So far, I’ve only tested these 4 types of CCI ammo and I feel that sub 1.25” is probably good enough for my use cases, but I’d love to hear from people with more experience.
Are there other brands you prefer for bulk storage/target shooting over CCI?
Are there better or more accurate rounds for small game hunting?
Is there one brand or type of round that is well-rounded and cost effective enough to excel in both areas?
What else am I not taking into account that could be useful?
