I agree with ya !! But to say it wont kill them is wrong.I have killed 30 to 50 a year,most of them are called to me.I use a .22wmr most of the time.But I have used a .22lr many times ,I cant think of any that got away.All of that being said I will always grab my .220 swift when going on a walking -call- hunt.We all have our own expiences,and I have had good luck with it.I always try to shoot them no further then 50 yards.
