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.

@ZQLewis, you gotta love the 96/22m, mine is sweet even more so as I got a .17HMR barrel made for it.
Is yours stock standard?
