These rounds are less than optimal in many weapons. I believe that your hi velocity choices are largely limited to what is known here as hyper velocity 22LR. As I said in an earlier post, You guys are shooting the wrong HV rounds.

In the US you need to search for sub sonics on a store shelf HV rounds are, and have been for many years, the main stay 22LR for American shooters.

The other thing about 22's is u'll pick them up for 50 quid easily sometimes with scope and mod for that money, most gunshops have back rooms full of cheap 22lr's, great work horses if ur not bothered wot they look like.Ĭlick to expand. I always think 17grains is too light a bullet for cleanly killing foxes, but no doubt a vast number have fell to it, but with a 22 ur shooting a 2 gr bullet so twice the mass, not far of a 22cf bullet wierght really (althou lacking the speed and energy) So i'd say there is a need for 2 rifles, even if it is 2x 22lr's u could argue allday about the merits of the many similar calibres, really quite a lot of overlap between them.

I can still remember the boss buying his 1st 22cf and he would just disappear up the hill with bullets and a target, wot a joy it was to shoot compared to an unmoderated 243 (plus i was quite a young boy in those days prob only 13/14) Quite often u'd also use the 22's for foxing too as in thoose days u couldn't moderate cf rifles and boss only had a 243 and 270.

Probably more rabbits about in those days than there are now and folk managed just fine with the 2 x 22's, plus i bet an awful lot of foxes were shot with 22's in those days with both bullet types. Must admit when i was a boy all these calibres weren't really around/common, u generally had 2x 22lr's 1 zeroed and moderated for subs for lamping and a 2nd 22lr zeroed with HV for daytime work and checking snares, landy window etc.
