I started to include it in the other thread about ammo, but decided it might be sidetracking it too much to ask specific questions--plus I wanted to make sure people saw it and could respond.
I have two questions. First, I live in an unincorporated area, but it is a subdivision. I have houses near me, although my back yard extends into woods and goes about 3/4ths of an acre. Anyway, I have no problem taking a pellet rifle and shooting it in the backyard; it makes no alarming noise, and doesn't disturb anyone.
I'm not sure I want to do this, but I was thinking about very occasional plinking, or if I have a larger pest animal in my yard that my .22 pellet rifle may not adequately handle (or, if it is possible that I may need more than one shot quickly), I thought it would be nice to be able to use my .22 Mark III Ruger pistol. It is very accurate, and I was told that the "low noise" ammunition would make it equivalent to the sound of your average air rifle.
True? Anyone bought this and vouch for it?
2nd question--
Have any of you bought ammunition through the mail/internet? Have any recommendations for places to purchase? I have a buddy who doesn't really shop around very much, and is pretty impulsive (he went 20 years without shooting a gun, and now shoots 3x a week at an indoor gun range, and has purchased six new handguns and is looking for more, in the last six weeks--does that give a decent idea?) Anyway, he bought ammo online from some place, and they delivered it to the office and he was very pleased. I asked him if the prices were good, and he said he didn't know.
Any of you bought that way? Any recommended places? Good prices, average prices, or is this the kind of thing you'd want to do if you just couldn't find anything local, and didn't mind paying a small premium?
