  MICHIGANHUNTER,
  
  Drill bits do not 'leave rifling', they drill a hole. Creating rifling is a process involving drilling, reaming and then using one of the forms of rifling, all done with fairly complex and expensive machines.
  
  You can however, use a drill bit to make the hole in an existing .22 cal. rimfire barrel larger and then use a .22LR liner. Brownells has this whole set up.
  
  Here are two descriptions of the process of barrel making. Both are fairly simple but you'll get the idea:

  Best.

  This is a reply to the locked topic on 22 ammo for the Mark III.
  
  I had trouble with Remington Gold bullets, and was told by Ruger that they are off spec and will damage the pistol.
