As for ejecting, we have the same problem in an old 22 single shot bolt gun that for 50 years plus has only shot shorts. Put a LR in it and it won't extract it. My guess is there is a carbon ring where the shorter casing ends. Same with longer bird shot brass?

Carbon rings can be cleaned out, what you have is a corrosive hot gas bell out, the case will expand to fill the groove and get's stuck.

I killed a few hundred rats with them as a kid. Got to be real close. I shot them in livestock feed troughs.

Ammo Planet has both types of 22 bird shot on sale, crimped and blue plastic cup. The crimped were $13.49 a box.

It would be kinda neat if they made a film that would fill the rifling to make an old .22 a smooth bore. Would be even better if you could remove it with solvent and a brush.

I don't think I could spend that much for them Shawn. Maybe $8-9 but I really don't have much use for them. Good to see some available though.

I have never shot one. I don't know what I would use them for. So at that price they are a pass for me too. I bought a few boxes off a auction for $3 a box to haul to the gun shows and at $3 a box if there had been 100 boxes, I would have bought them all, and never shot one.

There’s 50 rounds in those Federal boxes. $15 isn’t bad in my opinion.
