Latest IOF .22LR Cartridges

[gdsambhi2000]

are these for normal .22 caliber air guns?

Owning an F1 car is a big step to racing, and consequently becoming a race car driver. Talent and perseverance will play a part though.

Simillarly having the right tools to produce a quality product is a first step. However there are several others required, which by all accounts IOF seems uninterested in.

I bought the new .22IOF rounds today . They cost me Rs/- 25 per pop. The MRP was torn out .

The .22 IOF Ammunition are manufactured on a new plant from M/S NEW LACHAUSSEE S.A. , Belgium. The new plant has come with a TOT agreement.

Thanks for the info art_collector

Looks like Lachaussee has sold their machines to at least three plants in India from the map on the company's website...

NO my friend... Airguns only shoot Pellets or BBs

These are 0.22 Long Rifle cartridges that can be fired from 22 chambered Pistols, Revolvers, rifles etc

Vary naace...but has anyone tried the new rounds yet?

[ebenezer]

I tried firing a couple of these (5-6) new KF .22 rounds from my IOF rifle, but they didn't go off and upon ejecting them, I found there were no firing pin marks at all However, I fired some Lapuas and the earlier batch of KFs, they went off without any hitch. Anyone has a similar experience?

I fired about 16 of these brass ones yesterday. There is a noticeable drop in the trajectory beyond 60 yards (measured). I feel that the cartridge contains a lesser charge and have been made for 50 meter shooting only. There is a difference in the shape of the bullets too. The older copper ones have the ball pattern, while these ones have a somewhat conical bullet.

So far the new isn't that good. Could one of you shoot a group? Even 25 meters will do.

why people r always pessimists....

Hi. Let me also share a incident. I visited a gun store in Toronto few days back. IOF 9mm was available in 250 Dollers or say 12500 INR. But in India thay sell NPB pistol for more than six times that. You can see their prices. Indian buyers are captive customers. Let one decent arms manufacturer enter Indian markets and these buggers (IOF) will vanish.

50 rounds for almost 1000 rs? That's BS man. Wow I really hope an arms manufacturer enters Indian market (looking at Nagri). Here in the US, a brick of 100 rounds cost around $9. Which is like 450 INR.
