Nice rig.  Where did you get the speedloader holder?

Got them from Bob at 4WheelGuns.com  They have a magnet in them and the speedloaders have a ferromagnetic screw in them that holds the loader in place in the holder.  They're also handy for steel challenge shooting.

Thanks Mover480.

I’ve never really considered the “hardness” of rimfire primers. Who is the “federal primer” of 22? How low can you get you trigger pull down to with a 22 Revo?

I've had my best luck with Federal BYOB and Remington Bucket Of Bullets.  They are both .38 grain HPs but in the revolver there is no feeding problem.

 

The lowest I've gotten my trigger pull is 6.5 pounds.  I keep it at a hair over 7 so that I get 100 % reliability.

Doesn't apex make a "heavy" hammer?

Good afternoon Guys.

I hope you are all doing ok, in these very trying times.

 

I a looking forward to trying my S/W 617 10 shot in ICORE, if this crap had not happened, I would have gotten the chance in May at the next match, but that's life.

I had to add an C/L extended firing pin to my 617 to insure that the rounds always went off, I have about 4000 rounds through it on the longer pin, not one failure.

I use Agula .22 as it was the most consistent in power factor, I needed this for the mover in AP, the round is going 1050 no less and up to 1060 max, OMG what great ammo.

Fifty yards on the practical all x's sort of, its me not the ammo. 

The one thing that's for sure, I can not get the trigger lighter than 8.5lbs, I can live with that.

 

Be safe out there, this will end.

Yes they make a new Mass Drive Hammer for the 617  and it works great.  Randy says it will give you a 6.5 pound trigger without modifications to your firearm.  I did change my rebound spring to an 11 pounder.

I would like to hear more about this gun.  I haven’t seen a custom cylinder like that.  Who did the work?

[ysrracer]

My buddy did, he's a machinist not a gunsmith.

 

 

[bcp]

Well, he's talented.  Looks great!

I hadn't seen that website before.  It's got some interesting gear that I could use.  Thanks!

I ask about shooting my 617 at our ICORE match but they did not like the idea because of the falling plates. They did not want to paint after each Rimfire shooter.

[JAB]

I'd like to but here in Canada it's hard enough to  just fined an icore match

You should come down with us to a Rochester match, when everything gets back to normal that is.  Good bunch of guys.

@Mover480 Love the loading block and case. I know it’s been a few years since you posted this, but where did you get it?

Unfortunately, 4wheelguns.com no longer is in business.  The loading block and case can be obtained directly from Dave Skrzela (DS-10-SPEED).  Just send him a PM on this forum.

I shot one ICORE match with my 617 and it was great.  The steel was set light because of the light .38 loads guys now shoot and my .22 was able to nock down everything except one falling plate.  Next time I'll bring some HV .22s with me so that everything falls down.

 

They really didn't know how to react when I showed up.  Most of the shooters gave me the look that I shouldn't be there but I was invited by the match director.  He didn't know how to score me but that didn't matter.  I told him that it was just for fun. 

 

Get out with those 617s and have fun.  Most stages now have a more than 8 shots, probably 9 which forces a reload on every gun there except the 617s.  I made up a lot of time not having to reload. Bring lots of DS-10 speed loaders with you.
