Looking for some good gopher .22 ammo

Has anyone chronied any Yellow Jacket's lately? I know I have read many a time that they fall well short of their advertised 1500 fps.
 
I haven't had much luck with dynapoints giving real destructive hits on gopher sized game, but the long range accuracy is fantastic. For a little more thump I use federal bulk pack or win 333s. 333s are a little better, but impossible to find here.
 
Four bricks of 333 ammo this week and found it cycles great in my Mossy 151 and Marlin 81. We took over a grand and found they were as accurate as expected and hit hard. Not many escapes. We were shooting out to 100 yards and very high winds.
 
Just back from hunting gophers. Tried federal 525 value packs. They are very destructive on gophers.But don't quite feed as good as they dynapoints.So going ammo hunting monday see what i can find.
 
I rate the 333s superior to the Federals in a bulk pack. Just an opinion but I now use nothing but Winchester. There are all kinds of ammo out there ( which can cost much more than bulk) and many different guns to shoot it . any given guns by the same manufacturer can shoot different ammo and cycle different. But the 333s work the best in what I have for guns. And I have 8 different manufacturers and single bolt, bolt repeater and semi actions. All get their time in the shooting fields.
