    The segmented subs ricochet more than a solid 22lr round from my experience. Bullet breaks into 3 petals, and each has the ability to ricochet.
    The difference is the lack of mass or aerodynamics of each petal, so they don't fly far. They still whizz as they fly.

    I scan the neighboring properties for livestock before heading out, and know safe corridors of fire. I'd rather not take a shot, than have to explain to the police why there is a bullet hole in something that should not have one. You can always head back out tomorrow to get a better angle on a rabbit - they are not going to pack their bags and leave after all.
