    When I do shoot them I only use the .22, but you need to be accurate, vital shots only. Basically I use anything that is accurate in my rifle - lately S&B or CCI.
    It's probably easier to use a magnum rimfire as you'll get more power at longer distance than a .22, but a .22 can do it provided you shoot them well
