That was really interesting.

This is a resource we definitely needed. In a real shortage, these odd-ball rounds are often the last offerings left on the shelf. It is worth seeing what they can do.

Buffalo is like oldschool PBS for me. I know my visit will be a relaxing and informative one.

I like Your Hat. God Bless You.

I’m 58 and all my life, 22 shorts were higher than 22lrs because of the volume of production aspect, but in the early decades of the 20th century, the nation went through gobs of shorts. I’ve read the biography of more than one accomplished hunter who walked to the country store as a boy and bought however many individual rounds his pocket change, earned by hard labor would buy! There were a lot of people in the same boat and it wasn’t just anyone who could spring for a whole box back then! We are so lucky in the modern era!

I bought some CCI Quiet at Wal-Mart back 10 years ago when 22 started to be hard to find. For the longest time the 3 boxes stayed on my dresser until there was a porcupine eating up my garden one evening. It was dark and the neighbors lights were out for the night,. Those CCI Quiets took care of business and the neighbors were still sleeping like a baby in the cradle.

The 20 gr Colibri is no joke. I once set up a small propane tank at 200 yards and hit it about 6 times in a row from a 4" revolver, aiming 15 feet high lol. One of those funny never repeatable things.

I tend to throw Buffalo's vids a like before I've even watched it. Not been disappointed yet!

Buffalo, you don't ever need to apologize for any of your videos. I may have said this before, but you're doing US the favor, spending your time and money to educate and entertain us. So, thank you, and I enjoyed it.

"DEVASTATING" muzzle blast! 😂

Glad you use a clear clean block. So many KZfaqr’s use overused, dirty blocks and you can’t see anything.

Thanks, Buffalo! An excellent demonstration of the seriousness of .22 rimfires. People paying attention will see that .22 is NOT a toy or overgrown BB gun. Nice hat, too!

There’s something satisfying about the way Buffalo works a lever or pump action firearm; the authority of competence.

Eh... I wouldn't have melted that block either for the one little blemish in the back. You do a good job distributing the shots in the block for sure. Thanks for some honest, reliable, educational info and footage. I know a lot of folks don't realize you might have 15 plus hours in all that it requires to make this video. Much appreciated.

Worth mentioning... The colibris are so underpowered that they can cause bullets to become lodged in the barrel without the shooters knowledge. Make sure you always check your barrel for obstruction before firing other ammo. I once had 6 lodged in the barrel at once. I thought we had been missing the target until I looked down the barrel! Great video Buffalo!

Lever actions and oddball .22. My kinda of video. I really like the hat.

I absolutely love shooting the Super Colibi's from my H001. That rifle is why I ended up with a case of them.

I was betting that "calibri" wouldn't even penetrate, but I was definitely wrong!

The 22 short 29 grain at 830 FPS is no joke. I was shooting at 100 yards it went straight through a 1 gallon water jug, great for small game.

I appreciate how you get right to the point without a lot of set up, talking or rambling on about subscribing etc . Most videos i have to fast forward several minutes just to get to what is relevant. Within two minutes you were into the action. Nice to see for a change from most youtube videos.

very informative video! Would like to see a video on how you melt and reform the gel blocks

I'd love Buffalo to check out an Air Venturi Avenger. I think he'd be hooked.

Wow, what a video and the performance from the Sniper Subsonic and the CCI .22 Long!?! I am so grateful that you took the time to showcase some of these more obscure and lesser known rimfire cartridges. Thank-you. Luke.

The long case and long rifle case are identical. The difference is the long round takes a 29 grain bullet. The long rifle round usually carries a longer bullet.

I was amazed at how well the Colibri round using just the primer was considering it was pushing a lead bullet. Many years ago I met someone who loaded center fire bullets with wax projectiles by melting candle wax in a pan then using the casing like a cookie cutter. No powder just the primer to propel the wax. Used it at home to practise.

Got a .22 Henry Golden boy myself, i love it. Also have a .44 Big Boy. .22 is a deadly round, and very under estimated. The home guard in the UK and the special auxiliary units were issued with .22 lee Enfield sniper rifles during WW2.

I'm a fan of CCI quiet 22's. I've also used 22 shorts when shooting in the back yard (country house) with the grand kids. Love that you can shoot without needing ear pro.

I am proud of myself because I bet that that Aguila Sniper Subsonic 60 gr on the .22 short charge wouldn't stabilize, and would tumble like crazy, and it did, creating a beautiful wound channel. But I did not expect how deeply it would penetrate. That took me by surprise. I would love to see it out of a revolver (not sure it would cycle well in a semi-auto, but I am prepared to be surprised again).

Great Topic-I’ve used these-not as much on KZfaq as the “usual” stuff. Thanks!

That sniper sub sonic was impressive 👏

Best video on slower 22 rounds that I've seen. Very surprised with Snipers wound channel even with tumbling. Knew the 22 long would go out the back. It usually is more accurate than 22lr but harder to find. Learned a lot. Thank you Sir. 👍 👍

My Henry rifle likes those CCI longs too. Found some of those Agillia Colibris a few months ago but haven't tried them yet. Thanks for the vodeo.

Love your videos using ammo that most of us can afford IF we can find it. 👍🏻

Sure is nice that you allow us to tag along. Remember buying cheap shorts and longs about 45 years ago. 👍on the ball cap🧢

How fun. I've wondered about how the sound would vary. Pretty interesting to see, and no, the video did not seem to be rushed. Just great.

😂 the muzzle blast...we to have big fun with the hummingbirds at our house

Great video. I pick my Henry up tomorrow, after my state’s required 10 day waiting period. I am going to go and pick up some of these rounds. Thank you!

Thank you! I've been shooting this odd ball ammo for years never seen anybody test it👍

Those CCI quiets are perfect in my surpressor free state. And a Remington pump full of them is pure fun.

That was a really interesting video. Surprising results.

Just picked up my henry 22lr with the 20" octagonal barrel today! Worth every penny as far as I can tell. I'm sure she will be a straight shooter. Thanks as always for the video 🇺🇲

Next time I'm face to face with a charging gel block, I'll have some sniper subsonic on hand! :))

That colibri did a lot more than I thought it would tbh

As always a really interesting video. thank you!

Buffalo those 60 grain bullets hit with authority . I've used them in the past for pest removal. 🇺🇲🇺🇲👍🙏👍

Those Short's and no power rounds was impressive with the penetration. I didn't expect that, good show 👍

that Gave me some great ideas I gotta buy some of of the pest ammo. I'm also gonna try those 60 graners for target shooting. Thanks brother great video.

That 60 grain sub-sonic sniper round looks like it stopped with the bullet base pointed forward. Very informative video. When it comes to completely using every bit of the gel blocks, It reminds me of something I heard numerous times when I was growing up: Waste not, want not.

Buffalo, this was just awesome video to watch and a very interesting and informative to.Thanks.

Thanks for posting. I'd like to see what the 60gr Sniper ammo does in a handgun.

Great video. Thanks for using the various 22's in the video. Nice to see something with small caliber in a gel block.

I purchased my Henry after watching your earlier video, watching it feed a huge variety of .22 ammo sold me on it and my kids absolutly love shooting it 👍👍🇦🇺

I have that same rifle in 22 & 22mag. And the pump version in 22. Henery makes some nice guns. Thanks Buffalo!!

Pretty cool! Never thought these .22 shorts were so dangerous.

Great video Buffalo! Thank you so much for doing that. Didn't feel rushed at all. And what surprising results! I love my Henry H001, and .22 is about my favorite caliber to shoot with the fam. One argument I had with a guy who knows next to nothing about firearms is he insists a .22 cal handgun won't kill a person. I told him he wrong and do not try that! Haha. But he said if you are not up close, it won't kill. If you read this, that might be a nice gel test. Thanks for all the great vids B!

I have got to say, I have well over $100K in firearms in my own personal collection of 35 years of buying and collecting.... This may sound like I am full of sh*t, but I am excpetionally serious, when I tell you, one of my top favorite units in my Henry Arms, lever action .22LR smooth bore, mini garden rifle with walnut finish the H001GG. I adore that dinky rifle, and is one that I always have fun with. Every time at the range, people see me playing with a dinky miniature rifle and are like "what is that, and can I see it, can I shoot it?"..LOL.. it never fails to draw a crowd. That grey walnut so smoothly transitioned to the metal works is just beautiful. I wish I had a lager one to match it like in a 30-06 or something, oh wait, I do, never mind that beating the day lights out of my shoulder, LOL... But the mini's, as so dang much fun. I do not wear hearing pro's when playing with it in open field ranges, (I would recommend hearing pro for closed in areas) with any firearm. My and my buddy's each have a mini, and (well, I have 2 of them, will explain later) and we bring those along, when we bring out all the other toys, and it never fails, re all end up playing and competing in our own little match 25, 40, 50, 75, and 100 yards, we set up soda cans, as permission of the range officers, as this is something we have been doing for 7 to 8 years, and we all will be seeing who has the steadier off had shoots. Let us not forget, this series is smooth bore, no riflings in the barrel. the little guy starts to flop projectiles around at about 40 yardsand the grouping progressively opens up after that. 150 yards, you will be lucky at a 3 foot grouping, LOL, 200 yards, I don't know how bad it is, I have yet to find a barn side large enough to lay out a grouping pattern, LOL. It is known up front, what these are just trainer rifle for young boys and girls, like what were given in cub scouts, and boy scouts of America, some would graduate to a semi 10/22 REM's or the McCormics, ultimately, to be graded upon at the end of the training year, of all the newly skill sets learned, who well did a kid take care of the unit, etc... wonderful units for that.. now, to have a group of 40 to 50 year old idiots out there playing with kids toys, I realize it might look like we all lost our minds, But, I am just telling you, those dinky units, just like the unit you showcased in this video the H001 which is just like the H001GG, other then the wood is different and finished different. both are wonderful units. and they are so affordable. NEW from Henry Arms, pending the model you desire out of the mini garden rifle series, can range from $250 to $580. That is amazing, for the amount of fun me and my buddy's have had with them. Which was ALLOT over the years. I mentioned I have two of these units. Well, my second unit, with a .22 Lapua CenterX or other higher performing cartridges in that format, Out side of my weaker skill set of a steady hand, I can reach out to 400 to 600 yards with the other one, I changed the barrel out to what ended up being a 19.250" long rifled barrel, I wanted a 22 inch barrel, but my machine would only let me get the 19.250 inch long. Although i am biased towards this units, my buddy's laugh at it and call it the girraffe due to its strangely long barrel to stock proportions, LOL.. I did the best I could to match the blu-ing and the clear coat as the receiver color and shine, but it is off a few shades. that is okay though, I adore that unit. The barrel is out of a incorrectly ordered, wrong barrel received type deal of my buddy and the company would not accept it back as it was suppose to be a large diameter unit, and them sent a tapered barrel to him, or that is what his order form shows, meaning, he screwed up and not the company. but it has a Bergara barrel on it, machined to fit my dinky Henry Arm. One thing I wished I had thought of before doing this barrel was to machine it to be a hex O.D. barrel. that would have looked so cool. I don't know how the transition would have worked out to he receiver frame, but the idea of a hex barrel would have been so cool looking. it is modified politely for a more straighter weaver top rail and more sharply defined rail, for more bite on the scope rings frictional grip. I haven't had time to finish the miniature bi-pod system for it, with is QD for ones needs. just scaled down to match the dinky rifles look. the legs have walnut pec's or laminate outer layer to match the stock's color and look and finish. I am telling you, these stupid little mini garden rifle are so much fun and all the other toys, sure, they are fun, but there is always something that each one has that is a detractor from the fun aspect, but not the mini lever actions. grab a box of ammo (better grab a box of 500) and the garden rifle, throw it in the back pack, and head out to the back yard or range. so much relaxing fun, worry free. and the Henry ALWAYS WORKS, never once has it had issues. Ammo on the other hand, of course, that is the nature of the beast with rim fire, but, never the rifle itself.. LOVE THESE UNITS. pardon the novel, Just wanted to share that stuff, and how much fun these lil guys are.

Great video, Buffalo. It shows the versatility of the Henry and of 22 ammo. It also supports the old theme that, assuming a properly constructed projectile, speed kills. Perry P. , So Cal.

Absolutely love the clear gel tests. Really impressive penetration on those shorts. Especially those little CBs. I was not expecting that. Take it easy man, 😎😎

Love your hat with the cross. Bravo for all your excellent presentations.

This video reminded me about an interesting rifle. The Remington 522 Speedmaster auto; it is one of the few auto 22 rifles able to use shorts, longs and long rifle ammo. The pump action Fieldmaster could do the same trick as well. That is something some tubular magazines rifles can do that others can’t. Shorts shoot quite accurately to 25-yards and not too bad at 50. There was a time you could even buy rimfire smooth bore guns made for using rimfire shot shells. I have an old box of Remington high velocity shorts with hollow point bullets. You open a real wide subject on Rimfire ammo that has endless brands and types of 22 ammo. ✴🐂✴

Thanks once again Buffalo I was very surprised like yourself with results. We don't often get to see oddball tests like this. Sebastian Australia 🇦🇺

I love 22 shorts in a Henry !!!!!!

I've shot the Aguilar Sniper rounds from my AR-15 with a Tactical Industries .22 LR conversion and a 1:8 barrel, the 60 gr bullet out of that barrel usually gives me a 3/4 to 1 inch group at 50 yards if I do my job behind the rifle.

This was just fun to watch - especially at the end.

Love it. That Sniper round packs a punch. And like you say never underestimate the power of any round. Great video sir

That was a fun video. A lot of those I'd never seen, though I've shot a whole bunch of the short CB's. Gotta get a Henry now.

Buffalo, That was interesting to see all those different rounds that are indeed a bit different from what we would normally see. Thanks and take care.

I squirrel hunt with a .22 almost exclusively and it was so cool to see the gel test . Thank you

You the man, Buffalo. Another Excellent production!

How did I miss this informative video? Nice to see these test results. Good info…thanks Buffalo.

Ha!!! Be careful of the muzzle blast! The Eagle lower velocity went in further than I thought it would. Interesting rounds I’ve never heard of any of the unusual eagle rounds.

I recently bought on of those Henry lever actions, it's now my favorite .22 rifle.

That was some very unexpected results there!

Those .22 shorts out of an 18" barrel _really_ got my attention!

What a wonderful demonstration of this family of smallbore cartridges. You always make interesting content and deliver it in such a peaceful way somehow! A pleasure to watch.

Great video and an amazing gun. I did not know that there was a gun that could take any .22 amo mixed or otherwise. Very practical in a shtf situation.

Thank you for your time.

Nothing seemed rushed. Very informative, concise, and without a lot of unnecessary babble. The only thing missing is a chronograph.

Very interesting comparison, Buff! First time I've seen most of these shot into gel. Thanks!

This is why I love .22. So much variety, especially with a firearm that can shoot all versions of the caliber. Thanks for the video, Buffalo!

Great Demonstration. Thanks!

...back in the 60s/70s .22 short was extremely common...

Imagine, sitting in an old cloth folding chair- right there as the sun sets- a few folks watching and talking about these shots. Getting tired while paying attention, thinking back to the 50s when my Dad took me to a pawn shop and got me a 22 rifle. Aahhh, I sure enjoyed this video.

Great information! Please keep testing oddball stuff like this! Heres a video idea that I think you would be interested in: after reading about it in an old book, for years now ive been filling all my hollow points with canning/baking isle gulf wax. They claimed it makes the hollow points open up faster and wider, and keeps them from failing by plugging up with hair, and ive found this to be true. I think itd be awesome to have a side by side comparison of waxed vs un-waxed projectiles.

I've tried to keep a small supply of 22 shorts in our safe just for introducing others to shooting sports. We also have some CCI quiet. It shoots very precise out of our henry lever carbine. That's a pretty block. Don't melt it was a good decision. And some of us would watch you shoot cans with a 22 for 15 minutes. Like the hat and shirt.

I've always wondered just how 'powerful' those 'shorts' are, now I know. Really interesting video, Thank you Sir!

Well Done 👍 always learn something from the Buffalo 🇺🇸

I know a guy that shoots a lot of those 60gn Agulias...Like you said, they don't stabilize, So they are no-bueno for over 100yds. He is trying to get a faster twist barrel to test the heavier bullets with. Again, thanks for sharing.

Excellent video great to see all of these obscure round tested and accurate info regarding the sniper sub Sonics. I will eventually try them with a CMMG conversion

I haven't shot anything but LR for a long time. Pretty interesting and I might look for some of these locally.

...that Colibri is exellent for an indoor ranges...virtually silent from rifles...I use office storage boxes packed with old magazines as a backstop...

Good stuff! The ending with the different rounds sounds was interesting. I love the shorts in my Henry too - always gets a look at the range when you shoot 21 rounds lol

11 inches of penetration out of a .22 short? Never underestimate the twenty-two. Edit: 13” from another short. Damn.

well done video and quite well done for you feeling rushed. Thank you for your time and efforts.

that 60 grain aguila as well as cci minimag and velocitor is something i use frequently for a good round to keep just in case for my marlin 795 and my H&R 922

Impressive results, you didn't rush, nice video thanks.

I got a head shot on a pesky skunk with the Super Colibri and it was one and done. Don't count that ammo out. Also, for such low velocity, the Sniper Subsonic went through a 2×4 and 2 layers of drywall when I tested it. Aguila makes great and interesting products.

Thanks for doing this video. Very good selection of ammo for testing. Some I use for different reasons.

Thoroughly enjoyed this one!

Very very interesting. The Golden short surprised me. But those Colibre loads are too cool. I need another lever gun, versatility is amazing. Take care brother
