I say, I say, BOY!,- It'll work. I would use .22WMR just so I could back off a little further. But stay within 40 yds and you'll be fine.
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

Times like that, I feel the need for a 22 WMR. But, I get by with the 22 LR and hollow point ammo. The hollow points do seem more effective.

Just pop them in the dome if you don’t want them to run off and die. Dead either way though. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/06/full-19470-423739-img_2393.jpeg)

Good advice I will do that. Put a target under the feeder

It will work. Might not be a quick one shot kill every time, just keep shooting. Headshot advice is spot on though, heck yea.

No reason to buy subsonic if you have standard velocity

No reason to buy subsonic if you have standard velocity "Subsonic" .22 ammo has always confused me. That's like selling Subsonic. 45 acp ammo.

I’ve killed No reason to buy subsonic if you have standard velocity "Subsonic" .22 ammo has always confused me. That's like selling Subsonic. 45 acp ammo. I guess it depends on what velocities they actually produce. While most standard velocity .22 ammo claims similar figures as subsonic ammo, some claim above subsonic speeds. If they live up to their claims, then it does matter.

Suppressor reduces the powder explosion sound coming out of the barrel. Subsonic ammo eliminates the crack of the bullet breaking the sound barrier. Could be wrong but that’s what I’ve learned on here.

May not be right; but most hunters would not like to be shooting multiple times around their feeder; with a smart buck hanging in the area. Coons usually come out late, late, in the day, just about the time deer are roaming all over the place. If you have 8 coons at one feeder(like I did) set out 3 Dukes, catch 3, catch 3, basically done. Shooting 8 times, even before the season, is a signal. Reducing all activity around that feeder as quietly as possible can never be bad. With that said, late after the season, who cares.

We shot SV beside sub sonic;,and the sub sonic “seemed” much more quiet. Maybe not, I’m old. But, if you go buy ABC ammo, which most people do, it travels above sound, and is louder.

Standard ammo suppressed 1080fps is quiet enough, bolt cycling is louder than the muzzle report. I saw some subsonic at Academy 580fps (too slow for me). So picked some more CCI Standard and Norma Tac22 1083fps. They shoot MOA to sub MOA in the A22 most of em in one hole.

Coons usually come in an hour or two before the hogs
