CCI Stinger segmented Hollow Points vs. regular Stinger HP

[stinger 327]

I HAVE no idea what they taste like.

Stinger, thousands of people have eaten squirrels for eons. Think for a moment: If they're not small-game animals, why do so many states have seasons and bag limits?

Sure, many of us call them "tree rats". In town, they can indeed be a rat-type problem. But they are indeed edible.

Prairie dogs, OTOH, are not. They're pests, in the eyes of farmers and ranchers. Aside from being much smaller than squirrels, they carry plague. IOW, not enough meat to bother with, and you risk getting bitten by the fleas.

In general, for rabbit-size animals and smaller, use whichever .22 rimfire cartridge gives you the tightest groups. Again, a generality: A lot of these alleged differences among the various options are largely in the eye of the advertiser.

Thanks for the info.

the segmented hollow points are great. I had to adjust the scope on my 10/22 in order for them to zero at at 50 yds compared to stingers, but all of the ground hogs i killed with them drop in thier tracks

So you do notice a difference in performance between both Stingers? Segmented does more damage? Both are of the same weight and design but yet calls for different sighting specs?

There is one thing though I notice that it is much more difficult to find the Stinger Segmented HP and easier to find the Stinger HP. I have never seen both of them sold on a store shelf side by side.

IMO, i think the plain old stingers are much more accurate, but i can tell a night and day difference in the stopping power on small game. the segmented HP is by far more destructive than the stinger

that's exactly what I wanted to know. So the segmented does more damage.

I shot gobbler in the spring with one 70 yards neck shot... CCI stinger I recall not sure if it split in one o re more pieces, but that turkey was dead when I walked to him.

Wish they let hunt gobbler with a 22 here in Texas, nice gobbler.

So you shot that goobly gobbler with a segmented Stinger HP? Or a regular Stinger HP?
