It's my favorite round for groundhogs on the farm. Good luck. JW

I had no joy with the 22HP till I began useing .228, 60 gr bullets. Most factory ammo is loaded with bullets that are too small and too long.

Ken Waters says the .227 Jacketed bullets are the bee knees for the 22 HP, when using lead, he suggests the .228. Les
Back in the heartland, Thank God!
