why is it dogshit?
not sure what I have but I have for sure used some CCI
Quality control and in turn accuracy isn't there compared to some more premium brands. I shoot this out of my CZ:



When 5 round groups @ 50 yards exceed 1/2 inch I get mad.

oh ya for sure

I don't consider them good for target rounds

U ever shoot a Rimfire | Aguila Ammunition aguila .22 target round? ELey priming compound has an odd smell, some love it some hate it.
it smells like some odd glue after you fire it...very interesting...not sure why haha

Usually because of the wax coating. Target .22 rounds tend to have it,it aids in feeding.
just did some googling

"The Aguila uses the Eley Priming compound formulation or a close relative to it. That has the funny smell. PMC, I have no idea where that smell comes from. But being now made in the Asian market, I would expect that it is a copy-cat attempt at the Eley prime.

Many of us like the smell, however, I can attest that it is quite surprising the first time you encounter it. I equate it with accuracy, even though the Aguila that is Eley Primed does not really shoot like Eley branded ammo."

I've found RWS and Eley to be the best. I like RWS a little better, just because it's a little different than the Eley that all the nerds at the range shoot. Price is about the same, it tends to run about twice as much as comparable CCI in terms of cost, but remembering how cheap .22 is, I don't really care.

Man I'm so over this shit

5 weeks ago one of these twitter people who is constantly posted as a "verified" source of info was going on and on about how we won't be able to have inter state travel, gas will be running out, it's time to hunker down etc

Ok, where is that? when has this happened? I feel like a lot of these infectious disease twitter doctors were foaming at the mouth in glee over this, like they've been waiting their whole lives and shit. Total doom and gloom fear mongering. It's hard to care anymore.

So I ran out of peanuts last week and because I don't go to supermarkets any more (they all require the wearing of masks now but they're still too crowded for me) I had to wait a few days for my grocery delivery to be able to feed the birds and squirrels in my complex.

Well they were not happy about that at all. The woodpecker stopped talking to me completely, the blue jays and the squirrels were getting very impatient and probably wouldn't have lasted another day, and when I was on my patio yesterday a crow landed 3 feet away from me with his mouth wide open. Dude was fucking PISSED.

I think I've calmed the last 3 down with the re-up in peanuts today. No sign of the woodpecker (my favorite :() but inshallah he shows back up soon.

If anyone knows a good site to buy large bags of roasted (not salted and not raw) peanuts, please let me know.
They would eat biscuits and bread too. Saw a video where a woman gives crow biscuits and he dips it in water and eats it.

Yes

There is an argument that feeding wild birds can have a detrimental impact on the bird population, and will cause a whole host of problems for wild birds and the environment.

While this may be hard to imagine at first, remember that for their well-being and ours we’re told not to feed just about every other type of wild animal. Our intervention can cause them to stray from their natural habits and ignore their instincts and instead rely on the easy answers we’ve provided. So why should the birds be different?
These birds live in the city not some Forrest.

I don't like residential bird feeders because they create rodent populations and that can be nasty to live around and creates and spreads some disease.

and those fucking squirrels fuck up gardens

some subsonic .22 rounds may or may not have gone off to lower the population in my immediate area
Humans fucked up the world, destroyed forrests, created pollution and you are crying about your small garden.
The fuck
