cheers Quad.
I settled on the Remington 33gr plastic tip boat tail. my light little ruger 96/22m could put 9 into 1.5" at 100 mtr with a 2-8x scope.
CCI 40 gr would be more like 4" .
the 30gr Hornady also grouped well but did not have the same power at 100 mtr.
did also play with the subsonic 45gr but they did not do anything spectacular on possums.
and the 1760 fps 45gr jacket bullets on goats but again I felt the extra velocity of the lighter bullet gave more internal damage and killing while the 45 gr would pass through a goat.
