One of the best reasonably priced shells I found is the Winchester Dynapoint. Some shooters may not agree but in both my Savages and a friends Ruger 10/22, Browning bolt and Ruger bolt these shoot very well. I recommend them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15796146106512145235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30391680.post-56829478098332570172009-12-09T19:51:51.091-05:002009-12-09T19:51:51.091-05:00Shot placement if key!

I shot a fully grown coyote that was after my laying hens at 30 yards with a CCI .22 CB Cap and when I hit him he did a flip and ran off about 100 yards and then dropped. Shot placement was in the lungs area.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30391680.post-19991234872938278972008-12-08T16:27:00.000-05:002008-12-08T16:27:00.000-05:00Actually the cci .22 LR shotshell will kill a ratt...Actually the cci .22 LR shotshell will kill a rattlesnake easily.

As for the CCI shotshells in .22, I wouldn't recommend even on snakes...I found them to be cruel even on small snakes...not enough destructive force to end it without long suffering. Perhaps a desperate shot at a mouse you couldn't otherwise hit, but even then!..why? The larger CCI shotshells are more than superior...nothing like a 45 long colt shotshell for that rattler...dead, dead, and deader...not something I would want to rest my life upon..a .22 shotshell for a rattler...slowly walking away would be safer! The absolute best use of the shotshell is the Annie Oakley use!...impress your friends by hitting plates tossed in the air as she did...(they don't HAVE to know you're using shot!)<BR/><BR/>Markowitz...good page!

I agree it is very important to test several brands and kinds of ammo. When I was sighting in my Ruger 10/22, I tried a dozen or so different kinds of 22 LR. I found the CCI Mini-Mags in round nose (40 gr) and hollowpoint to be the most accurate for my rifle. I also tested some Eley match ammo that was consistant, but with a premium cost and more bullet drop. There was quite a difference between the various brands and velocities. I use the Ruger for buffalo shoots out to 200 yards and at that range consistancy is critical.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02700387116230306434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30391680.post-60171592712363709312007-01-09T00:14:00.000-05:002007-01-09T00:14:00.000-05:00Great post!

I have used them in a Ruger Super-Single Six pistol during hiking, with three shotshellls between three CCI MinMag jacketed hollow points, this works great in rattle snake country.JoeBillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08514962994509855920noreply@blogger.com
