Many think they hit harder but after testing the penetration ability of the humble sub over the last few days i can't see that being of benefit as it will only be extra energy out the other side. So to my mind a waste going HV .22. .17 HMR is what your looking for but be aware it is difficult to shoot out to the ranges many speak of for one simple reason "wind" winds you cannot even detect on your face can move it a significant amount and a 10mph Full value wind is going to move it near enough to 3 1/2 " @ 100yds. Shooting head or tail winds it is very capable and the ammo is to a high standard so you can get great accuraccy when conditions are good.

Second that, I have a .22 which I just run subs from, if I want more range as I sometimes shoot crows and bunnies out on freshly drilled fields out to 150 yards I use the HMR, but for lamping from the truck and quad I use the .22, cant beat it, dead quiet, accurate and very cheap to run. Have fun with the hummer when you get it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
