MSsteiger thank you for the suggestion. Will try them out too.msteiger said:I've been using CCI mini-mag, 36 gr CPHP. Those have seemed pretty reliable and accurate. And they're lethal.
NBK said:Try the Winchester 42 grain HP. It is a heavy round that produces a muzzle velocity of 1330 and was designed for hunting. Good stuff and in stock at Fine Firearms.
El Matavenados said:I love CCI Stingers. High velocity, and puts the hurt on the bunnies and squirrels. The problem is finding it! Also, because it is high velocity, some rifles can't use it.

CCI is usually a good bet, but buy a bunch of different stuff, whatever you can get your hands on. 22s can be very picky about ammo, it can make a big difference. I've read it and experienced it personally. Trying different ammo is basically like a reloader working up a load. Gotta get a good rest, put some paper out, try it and see what it likes. Sometimes you get lucky and the gun likes cheap stuff, and sometimes you don't! ;D
My Six likes CCI Mini Mags in LR and Winchester 40gr HP in Magnum.
I have a Marlin Semi that I still haven't found ammo for that it really likes, and they are known for being pretty accurate...
Handgun said:Come on down, hit me up. Maybe I'll try to get with some of the farmers and hook farmers up with hunters. There are a lot of no hunting signs, but I think those are put up for bird hunting and they would love to have more people hunting rabbits. Maybe I'll post some tricks I've been learning for beating the heat too.
My grandpa was big into pheasants, always had a dog, and I went with him, but it never appealed to me a whole lot. I'm doing my best to keep the coyotes down for those that do like to hunt pheasants!

Handgun said:Yeah, I don't have anything earth shattering, just drive a vehicle with good AC and freeze yourself coming in, park in the shade, rest a bit in shade as you go, and keep cold water on you. Spray bottle works good. Wear loose, light weight, light colored, breathable clothing. Be out before sunrise...
A 100 degree high day is usually decent morning and evening. When it gets up into the hundreds, it's bad.

seriously I took a look at the specs on line. lets talk about it. I am curious from my reading subsonic is bad for bullet accuracy. yet this bullet is known for being very accurate. & with good expansion & penetration. is this round a deadly bunny killer?
Talk to me NBK give me all the goods. hahahaha come on don't be shy.
