I've tried them out of a Ruger 77/22 Mag...and a Marlin 25MN...

accuracy wasn't even close to being crappy... it was much worse...

a blind kid with a sling shot could do as well at 50 yds...

those Hornady 22 FTX rounds with the 45 grain Flex tip bullets are pretty darn accurate out of both the above 22 Mags...

one stat I saw that I thought was interesting ( and sadly don't remember the source) but it stated that the energy of the Hornady shot out of a rifle, had the same energy at 300 yds, as the same round shot out of a 2 inch pistol barrel had at 25 yds...

that would be interesting to be able to verify...

but I have the Ruger at home for home defense, with a 1.5 x 4 power shotgun scope on top....
