Who is Ron Spomer
For 44 years I’ve had the good fortune to photograph and write about my passion – the outdoor life. Wild creatures and wild places have always stirred me – from the first flushing pheasant that frightened me out of my socks in grandpa’s cornfield to the last whitetail that dismissed me with a wag of its tail. In my attempts to connect with this natural wonder, to become an integral part of our ecosystem and capture a bit of its mystery, I’ve photographed, hiked, hunted, birded, and fished across much of this planet. I’ve seen the beauty that everyone should see, survived adventures that everyone should experience. I may not have climbed the highest mountains, canoed the wildest rivers, caught the largest fish or shot the biggest bucks, but I’ve tried. Perhaps you have, too. And that’s the essential thing. Being out there, an active participant in our outdoor world.

Just the beginning of the end for 22 long . Made for the green weenie states. Never thought you would push for a scam ammo. Here's a better solution, lets vote out the green weenies.
Infomercial
21 Sharp is the EV version of the 22LR designed to meet California emissions.
Like EVs, expect short comings when it's time to refuel.
The 21 bullet shot from a 22 bore should just kiss the lands and not force into the grooves. That should allow it to impart spin without slowing it.
.25 per pop vs .05 per pop….deal breaker for a plinker or squirrel gun
Winchester Clear Pepsi.
So are you not adjusting the scope because it’s not yours? Should you zero it for them?
Just change barrel he says. Yeah by the time you pay for the new barrel and pay a gunsmith to change them. You'll have more money invested in that versus buying the gun🤷♂️🙄
Kind of like buying a rifle that shoots Hornady 300 PRC. NO cheaper then a 300 Win Mag and not much cheaper then 338 Lapua. Yeah won't be switching to that ever for a plinker…
Ok, but why do we need a new .22?
What do you think about the 17HMR? I have had very good results partridge hunting this year ( first time trying this caliber). It literally felt like a laser.
I still remember the remington bolt action rifle that fired a 5mm magnum!!! wish it was still around!!
Giant eye roll for the lead fragments killing birds BS
You never know what catches on. Now Winchester has to shell out some money to get the the gun writers and gun publications in their pocket…or maybe some popular gun you tubers. Build up the '21 sharp'.
Definitely will not be adding this to the toy box. It will not have a big following and ammo will be it's downfall. Hard pass.
I unsubscribed because you're catering to the government.
Waste of everyone's time. …
Eff California
Thanks, Ron, for another great video. I bet that Ruger is testing out 10/21 barrels. They are really going to profit from Winchester's new cartridge.
21 arc
I think rimfires have become almost obsolete by PCP airguns. In the future increasingly so.
I'd say there is no room in the market for a more niche and more expensive .22lr-variant.
.22lr will be around for probably forever, though. All the other variants are pretty much dead in a niche.
Yes call the company for the hearing protectors and tell them RSO gun channel sent you
Use gold, it would be cheaper than 22lr is selling for now.
Would have at least looked at it until you said they wanted a lead alternative, I will not support that nonsense , that is a bunch of bs the left has pushed on us so shame on you Winchester!!!! Hard pass!!!!!
Ian Will be talking about this dumpster fire in about 6 years.
The lead claim is bull chit.
25gr bullet will have a much shorter range. In Canada, the .22 PRS-style groups are often shooting up to, and above 300Meters
"genius" population disarming legal tactic from California: make .22LR illegal in the name of the Environmental religion
Lead is not bad There is no proof of what you said.
Is CA still a state?
Or just move.
Winchester does it again.
After receiving a couple of .22s from my Dad's estate, I bought a box of Winchester black box M22 ammo after running out of some cheap Thunderbolt and some Federal I had around. The M22 wouldn't load in the cylinder of my S&W K22 Model 17-3. At least half of them wouldn't load. A quarter with really tight, and were a real problem getting out after firing. Only about a quarter of them would load. They fired more or less OK in my High Standard. Still there were a few failures to eject. The only thing they worked OK in was my Marlin 39A.
Since then, I bought a bucket or bullets, the Golden .22LR from Remington. Initially, they did well, fit the S&W, but I have had some failures to eject on the High Standard.
Federal seems to be the only ones that are firing consistently.
Vote accordingly
Ron, thanks for swallowing this BS hook line and sinker. Document the amount of non-target species that have died of certified lead poisoning. Oh yes no straightline mags, now just rotaries, Right ! Phase out those 22 rifles. Dude you have swallowed this whole narrative, screw everyone. Don't think I will view anymore of your videos. Too much crap.
As awesome as 30 Super Carry….oh wait…
21 Sharpe
Nice promo. 😊
Winchester tried introducing a new 22 many years ago. It never made it out of the six foot hole. It seems they tried to take the rimfire used in rock hammers and putting a bullet instead of blanks. If you want to go rogue, go 22TCM.
Lead only kills California birds
One more stillborn
Remington tried that with the 5mm. NOT. it will be the same thing.
We haven't needed more new cartridges for a long time. There's already a lot of overlap and virtual duplicates. It's all just marketing.
How about gun enthusiasts vote and maybe we wouldn’t have to put up with idiot law makers.
That little bit of lead is no worse then the all the crap they spray in the sky every day. No thanks.
Waste
Cool
