I used to just take out my semi-custom 10/22 and a brick or more of .22 ammo and I was happy as could be. But, morbid as it might sound to some, it's a lot more fun for me to see those guts flying trough the air. My .17 Hornet and .221 Furball just make me giggle. My .17 Rem too but I do not need 4400 fps to kill a whistlepig so I load it down to .17 Hornet speeds or even a bit lower for my shooting pleasure. I get too many runners with rimfire ammo. Even my .17 HMR is not that reliable out past 150 yards. A body hit with a 20 grain Vmax at 3500 fps is pretty humane. Even more so when using the 40 grain pill in the .221 FB.

Give a man a welfare check, a free cell phone with free monthly minutes,food stamps, free section 8 housing, a forty oz malt liquor, a crack pipe and some Air Jordans and he'll vote Democrat for life.
