Best .22lr round for Gophers? Stingers?

[BrotherRockeye]

at 6 pages it made it farther than I thought it would...

 

[dizzy]

what value does a Gopher Hide have?

No idea, all I know is its takes 1411 to make a king size bed spread.

 

[dizzy]

stingers are good, so are the fragmented cci, in truth all hp's really work well

That is hillarious!

I just bought a brick of Segmented HV HP from CCI. They look like the vermin ticket...

I just picked up a CZ455 American and figured I needed to pick up a few more bricks of CCI Quik-Shoks for the gophers. Turns out that the "Quik-Shok" name was apparently in violation of some kind of trademark and the "Segmented HV HP" is the new handle. Picked up four more bricks at just over $60 each. Given the recent ammo shortages south of the border, I thought the price was pretty reasonable. Three or four years ago I was paying $52 per brick.

Stingers and Velociters are great, but too expensive for a long shooting gophers. I have found Yellow Jackets to be dynamic on small varmints at a fraction of the.price.

My choice also.

I personally would say that the best ammo is the one that works the best in your particular gun and kills the gopher humanely. Hollow points seem to do the best job . It is not speed that kills but rather bullet placement.

American Eagle Hollow Points.
They have worked spectacular in my CZ's and My Sako Fin Fire when I had it.
Killed Them DEAD.
But, do practice some before hand helps too.
Tight Groups,

I can't wait to see what a 9mm does to a gopher. JR Carbine, by the way.

I use Stingers and 555's. I find that they shoot VERY close to each other in my rifle, which is mind boggling.
I have tried Golden bullets, yellow jackets, mini mags, velocitors, federal game shock, ect.. I only use the two I mentioned because, they group VERY tight, 1/4 @ 50 yards.
This is something you're going to have to test in your rifle, along with the second most important factor in this situation RELIABILITY.
Those two things will determine which round you should use. What works good in someone else's gun may not work in yours. Yes, the results from both those rounds are... immediate.

My 597's like AE .22 round nose and Federal Champion bulk. I only have squirrels to go by around here, but they can't be any tougher than gophers...

Yea this actually made me laugh out loud.

That makes sense to me. A few years back I read a gun magazine article about a police LE 12 gauge shotgun round designed to break apart into segments and then to help prevent pass through on a violent attacker's body.
I'm pretty sure Quick or Quik Shock/Shok was the brand name.
