Remington subsonic hollow points. No head shooting for me. Those heads are tasty and there is no meat on the ribs. Is that enough excuses for not being able to hit them in the head? Funny stuff right there. lol My 10/22 is really tricked out though. Tactical Solutions barrel, Volquartsin trigger & bolt, Boyd stock, and Kahles scope. About $2k total investment.

The kind that goes bang. It does make a difference. Every now and then I miss the head by a lot. Good hp they still drop. Cheap Walmart hp. They run for the next county
Don't do anything you don't want to explain to the paramedics. I do appreciate a good story tho.

CCI sub sonic hollow points in my savage MK II mini mags in my Ruger Mark III target pistol. Hey Mike my 32 Cherokee is shooting great with 15 grains of swiss a .015 patch and a .310 ball with Hoppes patch lube. The 36 Seneca is doing good with .350 Ball 30 grains swiss and a .018 patch with Hoppes patch lube cant wait to take my first Black Powder squirrel. Pedersoli recommended charges of 28 to 40 grains in my .32 Kentucky flint... So I went with 30 grains to start and it's been an accurate load for squirrels. I'm not sure why, but I'm better at shooting the squirrels than I am poking holes in paper. I may have to spend some more time developing loads. But as long as it keeps sniping squirrels, I'm happy. Once you smoke that first squirrel you'll be hooked. I'm anxiously awaiting cooler weather so I can get out and hunt again. Mike

Win power point for my 10 22 and cci 20 grain game point in my savage 17 hmr Yep, the Winchester 40 grain powerpoints are the most accurate ammo for my 1022 as well. Group better than the CCIs. I've found a distinct difference between any 36gr round and the 40gr round.
