Shot a ton of these out of a Ruger No.1B in 22 Hornet in my misspent youth. With what I would now consider a quite stiff load of H4227 from some data I got out of an off brand gun magazine at the time. The load hovered about 1/2 MOA and was hell on groundhogs,fox,coons, coyotes, porcupines,crows and even a badger I had a bad angle on and mistook for an enormous groundhog. Still feel bad about that guy. They were quite explosive even at those mild velocities and where of no use on anything edible of the small game variety. I still have 1K plus of them about the place. Great bullet in my experience
