    I wonder if Paul ever uses his long-windedness to get himself out of trouble? Like:
    Paul's Wife: PAUL...Did you spend all of our vacation money on guns again?!
    Paul: Unfortunately, the answer to this comes with a litany of disclaimers and caveats, all of which are completely necessary. Now in answering this question I'm going to have to talk about something that I have great DISDAIN for talking about--Myself. With that in mind, nothing I'm about to say should in anyway be construed as advice on how you should spend YOUR vacation money. I'm only telling you how I spend it. Secondly, remember that everything I say here today are just my opinions. My opinions are based on my training, my education, my experience. Different people have difference experiences so they have different opinions. Okay, with that, let me give you a personal anecdote...

    Yellow Jackets used to be my favorite, that big hollow would "blow stuff up", even better than Stingers. It seems to have been downloaded quite a bit from the 1980s, as many centerfire pistol/revolver ammo is now. As for quality, older rimfire ammo seems to have been more reliable as well. On a recent range trip I shot some 40+ year old Rem Mohawk 22lr and some less than 5 year old Federal and Winchester ammo. Only a small sample, about 100 rounds each, but 40 year old stuff had 0 misfire/duds whereas the newer stuff had about 3% fail rate.

Stingers from a 4"-6" handgun far exceeds ye olde hollow point LR. If some critter needs putting down then Stinger gets the job.

Mine do not like Stingers, poor accuracy and lots of spray from the cylinder gap. They love the Yellow Jackets but I haven't seen them in my area for years. My primary which is a Taurus 94 (9 shot, 4inch double action) actually shots the best with plain old Federal Lightning a 40gr lrn high velocity.

    I think the important take away from all this is that 22lr is capable of being effective, but that doesn't always mean that it's a great idea. I love shooting 22s but the biggest issue I've seen is that ammo may run really well in 1 gun and poorly in another even if the gun is the same model. The bulk ammo is a little hit and miss so, depending on the application, you may need to run several types to see what works best for your specific gun. The premium 22 ammo is usually better, but I've had issues with some types that seem unusual too. When I hunt little rodents and opossums, stingers have worked well in my bolt guns, AR conversion, and in my tx22. But I've had about the same performance in the Remington golden bullet bulk stuff too.

    I like the deer running thru at 4:42, “hey there’s somebody down here” or maybe you didn’t have as exclusive use as you thought! Interesting comparison I always wondered how different those rounds really were.
