22 ammo
What ammo do you shoot in your 22 for squirrels,rabbits,an other critters?
I use my 22 for squirrels,coons,possums,fox,bobcat,coyote and I use Remington golden bullets.They are really accurate in my Henry.
I have also used the federal bulk packs and had a lot of duds.The cci stingers pack a punch but I didn't find that necessary at my ranges.The Winchester experts were horrible for me they shot really dirty.The Remington vipers were good bullets and I didn't have any problems with them.
I want to try some cci mini mags and Remington target rifle bullets.

I'm not real keen on using a .22lr for yotes or bobcats. There are just too many calibers that do so much better on these critters in my opinion.
On squirrels, out of my S&W pistol, I like to use the Remington Targets. They will pretty much cut holes at 50' if I do my part.

I use mostly Eley SubSonic in my 40-XR and Mossberg 144LSB Target. I then use RWS SubSonic Pistol match in my Lone Eagle 22lr and S&W 41. I can sit and shoot my limit out of the same tree and never move without the tree rats even knowing I'm there when I find a large cutting tree. Other than that, its just pure practice on stalkling to get inside 40 yds and make that one shot kill.

I use 36gr federal hp's in my Remington speedmaster I've killed squarels rabbits snakes coons opossoms and even a large dog no problems. In my ruger mk 2 I use 40gr winchester wildcats there LRN as the federals don't expand good outa a pistoul.

I second Bradley300 on the CCI 40 gr. Velocitor!!! Absolutley devastating on groundhogs, out to 70 yards out of my Marlin 39A. Head shots of course. Ground hogs will take a .22 in the chest and run almost everytime. But again, these bullets have not been easy for me to find either.
