everygoodnamewastaken Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 Hi brain dead, i came across this site which may help you. Havent has much chance to get out with my new (to me) AA S410 in .22. The .177 shoots flatter so for shots less than the range you zeroed at you have to aim off but i think the more weight with the.22 may come in handy :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammergun Posted March 9, 2003 Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 Brain Dead - this subject has been covered several times before - suggest you look through some previous posts in this section. =( Hollow points are good, but only at close range as they are not terribly accurate over distance. I've found wasp as good as anything, but again this has been discussed at length previously.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
