I have recently found myself interested in early .22 rifles. I am confused about what ammo can be shot through certain rifles. I have recently acquired a Winchester 1890 "Long" made 1907, Winchester 62A LR, S or Long made 1948, and a Marlin 39 LR made early to mid 20's.
From what I have read, damage to the barrel can be caused by using modern high velocity and copper or plated ammo??? Softer steel of the period? I'm looking to be educated on what to safely use in each of these rifles as I plan to get them out occasionally to shoot. Thanks in advance! and yes I know that long is different than long rifle.
