Thread: .22 Power.

I would have to agree regarding the accuracy over speed comments. I have never recovered a 22 bullet from a rabbit. They almost always go right through, even subsonics like Magtech that were almost a bucket (big hollow point). As such, when shooting rabbits, increasd speed will fall (flatten the curve.....) but the additional energy simply makes a deeper hole behind the animal you just shot....

I have always had better success with subsonics than I have with hyper velocity, but mostly due to accuracy and my practise / familiarity with the trajectory.
