I bought some remington 22 cal blanks from Lowes the number 2 brown ones arent that loud, but the number 4 yellow are really loud. Does anybody know which load is close to a 209 primer?

Re: 22 cal blanks
I always use brown. It should work fine. It's the closest to primers, IMO.
Either way, the next step up is yellow, so you don't have much choice.

Re: 22 cal blanks
I use a Green Remington for most everything but use a brown for starting pups. Once they are OK with the gun I reload 20Ga. blanks. Again, I can start out with a softer report and then up the charge to get the louder report. To me using a shotgun adds a little more realism to the situation when working steadiness and water work for the UT Test.

Re: 22 cal blanks
Is the green in between the brown and yellow?

Re: 22 cal blanks
According to the back of the box the Brown is a #2 charge and the Green is a #3 charge so I would have to assume it is in between.

Re: 22 cal blanks
I use the green to starting pus/dogs and older dogs with yellow. They all work great..I agree--Brown is the closest to a primer.

Re: 22 cal blanks
Brown #2
Green #3
Yellow #4....in order of lowest to loudest charge
We use greens and yellows just fine, I would also say the browns are close to primers....

Re: 22 cal blanks
My gun only shoots the crimps. Where do they compare?

Re: 22 cal blanks
Crimps would compare to the brown maybe......There definately quieter than most of the remington loads....

Re: 22 cal blanks
Can you shoot these blanks through any blank pistol?

Re: 22 cal blanks
I shoot em through a nef, and I have an old crapm gun that shoots em to..as long as it takes a .22 cal I don't see why not. Maybe there are some exceptions I am not aware of though.

Re: 22 cal blanks
Be careful, I purchased a gun that only shoots crimps. I bought a couple of boxes of regular .22 blanks before I realized this and most sporting goods stores don't let you return ammo so you're left with 20 bucks worth of blanks you'll never use unless you buy a new gun.
