Einstecklauf (insert barrels) .22lr
Einstecklauf (insert barrels) .22lr
Thinking this may be a good way to get cheap practice in my fishermans cabin (target acquisition etc) with the .450ne double I am having built. Anyone have experiences with something like this?
Thinking about it, it has to be centerfire...

Why does it have to be centerfire?
I had an insert barrel for a 12G in 22 Magnum that used the normal 12G firing pin and also used the 12G extractor/ejector to operate the case extractor on the insert.

9.3 X 75RI don't know how cheap a pair of einstecklauf's would be for "practice". Even the used, short Sempert-Krieghoff's run over $300.00, each. Full length, centerfire rifle inserts are above $1,000 I believe, each.
22 rim fire einstecklauf's work just fine. I have a short S/K in a drilling and it shoots MOA out to 35 yards
Have you considered using reduced load, cast bullets that regulate? It can be done and I would think be a lot less expensive than a pair of inserts.

Couldn't the inserts be shorter than full length? It's not like the .22 bullet is going to touch the .470 barrels.

9.3 X 75RI guess so. I mentioned that I have a short S/K, (Sempert-Krieghoff), 10 inch barrel einstecklauf in a drilling. It's in the right, shotgun barrel. As the rimfire inserts have to be offset for the firing pin to work I expect the makers have the angles figured out so one would work in the smaller 450 barrels as opposed to a 16 bore barrel. Even so if you can find one used it will be over $300 unless a fella gets lucky, and that happens. Just never to me!!!

Black FlyI have a pair of 9.3x74r inserts for 22rf that I used with my Chapuis and my drillings. The accuracy is good enough at 25 yards to have fun. I used them to work on my hold and trigger pull. It made a Sunday afternoon session at my backyard range a lot quieter. I've not seen any for bigger bored, but I'm sure someone could make them.

Work hard and be nice, you never have enough time or friends.
Hei Norway!
Yes, the .22 insert is a lot of fun and also a sneaky way of taking small game with your new rifle.
The cast bullet / sub load suggestion is a good one that is likely to be much more straight-forward to arrange.
Just taking my rifle for a walk!........
Thanks for alle the input guys! Will try casting and loading reduced velocity before looking at inserts then...
