Already to much into USPSA gear but our club is now rotating ISPSA/Steel Challenge matches.
Just think it might be fun to try the rimfire rifle game.
Only thing I'd need would be a Spee-D-Loader.

Any reason I can't shoot my Nylon66 in this game?

When .22 guns run good, they are fast.
But I haven't sen too many 100% runs good .22's at many matches.
And rarely do they knock down steel with one hit....if at all.
So it sometimes becomes a question of whether you got all your hits.
Personally...I say use the .22 a couple times while building a glock mag 9mm lower AR.
Nearly as fast, nearly as light, you can reload for it, you can tune the gun easily, most AR parts work on it ( i.e. you can improve the trigger, change grip, etc) you have glock mags, and they are more fun then .22 is.
And.... hot 115 9mm rounds will drop steel....just as well as subsonic 147 will too.
