IMO When using high power 22, ricochets were only heard when hitting a hard flat surface, however after being a dedicated subsonic and suppressor convert for twenty years ricochets are more common than thought. I would say that more than 50% of shots bounce. Even when hitting rabbits heads, a bounce is heard. With suppressors damping the reports there appears to be a greater evidence of heard ricochets. Fortunately I hunt in an unpopulated area otherwise this could be a problem.
Anyone else have similar views ?
I just remembered that there is a warning on the .22 LR Winchester subsonic box.
It states "Dangerous within 2.5 km (1.5 miles.)"
I imagine that to be the maximum reach as this would have been selected by their Lawyers to cover their fat corporate arses.
Currently, the British Army is very obsessed with a similar problem................
