Re: Remington 722 Triple Deuce...

My uncle in PA has that rifle, about the same age. I can't begin to tell you how many woodchucks and yes...PA white tail deer it has killed. Very smooth rifle and accurate. The brass will last 12+ loadings since it is so mild until the neck cracks. If you don't grab it, let me know!

My "normal" carry load in that would be 2 shot shells lined up to go first, 2 38 specials lead round nose, then 2 158 grn hollow point 357 mag loads. You can do lots of scare with the snake shot loads and if needed just spin the cylinder to advance what youwant to use.

here folks shot at the Pawnee National Grass lands. They have rules you must carry in and carry out all your targets, no shooting at glass or cans. This is primarily an attempt to keep the area cleaner. Still some folks leave an ugly mess behind which in the long run will close the entire spot down.
