    Tried them out when they first went on sale. Disappointed with accuracy out of Marlin and 10/22. If I recall correctly, it claimed Stinger-like velocity.

    The rapid fragmentation claimed may work on nuisance birds at close distances but thereafter its just another overpriced novelty round.

    The old orange packet Winchester Power Point was the shit. I always thought it wounded disproportionately for 22lr. Seen a mate drop goats and a small pig with it and was pretty surprised when we skinned them.

    Yep. Those are the ones I was referring to earlier. They certainly lived up to their name.

    We have some reactive steel targets at the range but you can only shoot them from one bay normally so having this would be useful to put up on any target board and practice placement. Cheers!
    @Steelisreal PM me your home email address and I will send you a file. I cannot attach files to the PM system on the forum for some reason??

    Alternatively, if you are using a PC (not sure how on Mac), in the search field in the bottom left of your screen on the taskbar, search for "Snipping Tool". Click on the app (it comes as part of microsoft), click on "New" and this will let you draw a box around anything in screen and will create a jpeg of it. With the rabbit image showing, draw a box around it, then open MS Word and paste the image. Size it to max out an A4 page and you are pretty much on scale for a adult rabbit.
    I keep plenty of printed copies handy for practice, plus, if you laminate some, you can practice in the rain.

    Yikes! Using Windows 10 I just hit Winkey + Shift + S.
    And take it from there.

    I either paste the snip into a Word doc (handy if capturing several images) or save the original as a jpeg, or Ctrl P and save using Windows pdf creator to a pdf file.

    Previous computer had Snag-It installed which was good.

    Re the posted image I have captured it already but using a Samsung Tablet and pen. I just held the pen on the image and from the options that came up I selected "save". Only trouble is the saved image is only low res (116KB) and may not print the best. Have yet to try it.
    Likewise screen capturing the image. If it's low res to start with the screen capture has no way of improving that.

    Bloody desk jockey's .......

    The reason I offered the above solution is that it will work on any item you have on screen, even if that is a paused YouTube video that you want to cut and paste as a jpeg. Its a very useful tool to have in your arsenal.

    My JW15 likes them, and anything I shot with them got real dead. I actually thought they were 4 segments, I must check again.
    As an interesting side point, I found that when I was euthanising cows, solid points don't work, I tried target ammo and even some solid point tracer. Hollow points worked better, and the segmented ones were best.
    I'd like to verify your clam.

    @Kopua Cowboy, my bad, yes the base is indeed the 4th segment. The front three 'petal' segments remind me of the three nose bits in a drill chuck.

    Handy for some, sure, just seemed like a long way round from the five-click, one-program option I posted.

    Printscreen key possibly even still works in windows? And is one less piece of MS bloatware to deal with...but yeah. I don't windows.
