"My friend Jack Holliday used the .22 Varminter on a nice mean grizzly up in British Columbia and came back all n one piece. Using the 41 grain Sisk bullet loaded to a velocity of 4,500 feet a second he broke the animals shoulder on the first shot and put the next one in the chest cavity for a KO. These two bullets certainly didn't blow up on the surface as many claimed they would. Jack O'Connor, who was on the trip, opened up the bear for a firsthand look at the results and found that the lungs were well scrambled."
From The American Rifleman dated January 1950, authored by Carroll Lemon, " A Hotshot .22 on Game."
I have read of P O Ackley's experiments with tiny fast bullets, but this article was something new to me. Apparently the light, fast VS big, slow bullet argument is not new.


Imagine your grave on a windy winter night. You've been dead for 70 years.
It's been 50 since a visitor last paused at your tombstone.....
Now explain why you're in a pissy mood today.
