I see action steel at Old Bridge tomorrow has a carbine rimfire div.

 

It says maximum 1250fps ammo only otherwise may be subject to dq.

 

What 22lr ammo should be used for knockdown steel ?

.22 will take down most of the plates. The full size poppers are tough, but can be done if you shoot well enough to put your hits on the very top edge, or do quick double taps high on the popper. The shoot tomorrow is part of a 2 day match, pre-registration was required.

Good info for next time...thanks. and I just found the entry 60 bucks. I'll shoot static at cj

I moved the topic from the shotgun section to the appropriate rimfire section.

Having set up WCS's rimfire steel side match for several years. 22 won't take down jack if they aren't set properly. (ok, maybe the really teeny knockdown steel that doesn't get dragged out for much is hard to set too ehavy unless it has something wrong with it.)

 

So unless someone is keeping certain folks away from setting some plates heavy for reasons that don't really make any sense, you might have issues even double tapping it.
