I have a large number of animals that hate loud noise. I have neighbors who are worse with loud noise. As a result my rodent control is stuck to CB Caps and 22 subsonic stuff.
I am just sick of having to clean my rifle every few shots. And although the makers claim these low powered bullets dont blow through the animal, every time i shoot a rodent i have to make sure i have a big pile of dirt or stump behind to catch the bullet, otherwise i get to hear the bullet smack through the backyard trees for a hundred yards.
IS there a source for 22lr ammo, standard velocity and subsonic loads that are CLEAN burning?
The .17 HMR and .17 Mach II are good for predator control and pest control. I know the hollow points are great at killing coyotes and not blowing the hide to shreds. But is there a
low velocity subsonic type round that goes, around 800 fps or so, thats accurate and powerful enough to kill a raccoon or woodchuck at 20-25 yards. But WEAK enough that shooting a chipmunk or squirrel at that range wont create a table sized spot of blood and guts surrounding a single front leg and a piece of tail? Hollow point?
Im just really really in need of some help everyone.
