.22 rimfire cartridges with heavy bullet
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the guns how recently, I found some .22 shells made by Aguila of Mexico that have a 60 grain bullet. The case is the same length as a .22 short to accommodate the extra material needed for the bullet. Most .22's have a 40 grain bullet. The box states that these are sub-sonic and ultra accurate.

I bought a brick of these last year at Cabelas in Sidney - they are VERY accurate from my Marlin 7000T. Quiet, too! SW

Yes, but I only bought one box. I want to try them out.

As I have harped in the past, sub-sonic will one day be a valuable characteristic as shooting areas dry up and we have to do it more on the sly to avoid attracting attention. Even out in the wide-open spaces, more and more land is being fenced in.
