.22-250 !!????

I thought my old man was the only person that had one of those. After years of not being able to find rounds, my brother and I stumbled upon a bag of 100 shells at a mom & pop bait and tackle shot. We dug out the old mans notes for reloading and as they say "went to town". What a fun gun to shoot.

You must be mistaking the .22-250 for another round. The .22-250 is a very common round used for varmint hunting. You can easily find the ammo (at least here in Texas you can) at ANY Academy Sports & Outdoors store. It IS a fun gun to shoot!!!

The donation idea to B&G's Club idea is better, and it helps a LOT of kids.

Whenever possible I donate old (PLAYABLE) cues and balls to the kids clubs / rec centers but please understand, these balls are NOT PLAYABLE. Most of them have chips too deep to even be considered fun to play with.

I always donate good stuff not junk because I want any new players experience with the game to be enjoyable....

maybe in bigger cities they do, but not everywhere.

I have a few old sets of balls I've been finding uses for too. Made some doorknobs out of a few, put some on the bottom of the legs of my barstools, made a tap handle for the keg with one (and an old house cue), attached one to the end of a shortie stick so my son can bang balls around the table when he gets a little older without damaging my cloth.

just use your imagination, theres tons of neat stuff you can do.

Wow, those are all good ites. I especially like the doorknobs, and keg tap handle.

Do you have any pics of the doorknobs?

Is this the same as a 22 jet magnum. An old buddy of mine had what he called a S&W 22 jet magnum. He described it as a 357 chambered down to 22 cal. We took it out plinking a few times. It was a wicked handgun.
 
what do you think can be done with them. What would you do ?[/QUOTE]


In my day, the cue ball and the eight ball were highly sought after to attach to the shifter on four on the floor hot rods
 
I knew a guy that would shove them up is behind and have someone put a quarter in his mouth. He would swallow the quarter and shoot a ball out of his butt. Kinda like a gumball machine.
 
I know a guy who makes phenolic hats......phenolic armor.....phenolic condoms.....the guy is crazy for phenolic.....

On a serious note, if I ever get a pool room, I'd love to get some old, worn out cues, balls, and so forth to make a little wall art....

The old hornet and bee were great. Although the Bee was a 218.

Actually there is a new 17 cal out for the military.
