After looking around a bit I might try the 120 gr. Hornady SST made for the 6.8 SPC. Hornady says max velocity is 3000fps but the bullet is expressly designed for a cartridge that tops out at 2400 fps. So I figure if I add just the right amount of speed over 2400 fps, say another 400 fps then I might have a bullet that will get inside, break up and do a lot of damage yet not have much left to spew out the other side. Sure I could use a 22 if I were to only take the shots the rimfire is effective on but then I would miss out on the other 100 shot opportunities. There is no daytime hunting in this residential area. There are rich greenies living there. I have been scheming on turning my Contender into a rifle for a while but my Super 14 in 22 long rifle is such a tackdriver!
