Shooting PDs with ANY 22 Long Rifle ammo will result in wounded Dogs going down the hole, especially this time of year when they are grown.

I went on a hunt last year with 2 guys who insisted on using 22s, so I did also. We were shooting out of a Suburban, slowly driving thru towns.

This wasn't at long range and to miss a PD would be very unusual for me. I head shot every one I could but even then, still lost some down the holes. This was with WW Power Points. I'm not making a right or wrong judgment on using 22s --- but it's not for me. I generally use 3 .223s and enjoy it much more than rimfires. I DO shoot Richardson's Ground Squirrels with a VQed 10-22 and enjoy it a lot.
