If I could consistently find them, the Quiets and the Aguila Super HP's would be all that I'd buy these days.

I found a store with a brick and just bought them so I didn't heve to be looking for them all the time.

Allegedly I might have shot strays in the countryside with .22 LR and 12 gauges before.

Allegedly, some farmers let you hunt on their land... with the understanding that you will immediately dispatch any stray cat or dog you encounter... 00 buckshot's/slugs might have seemed over the top, but the ammo was free...

We spent 4 years cleaning out a feral colony with my daughter live-trapping young ones and taming them up and then off to a shelter in Prince George. The older Toms were all cleaned out using a .22 as they were way too wild to be tamed and I was tired of the stink of cat spray on everything in the yard.

My favorite feral cat answer. "Head-shot" accurate out to 100+ feet with my Marlin Golden 39.

While we live in a semi-rural area where shooting is legal there is no sense bringing attention to yourself. These cartridges produce less noise than an air rifle.

I *love* CCI Quiets for how stealthy they are. Especially when shot from a long barreled rifle. My neighbours literally have no idea that I am (legally - and within our local by laws) shooting in the yard.

While it's legal I dont want to be the subject of local gossip - it doesn't make sense to draw attention to yourself unless needed.

I find a lethal doze of .177 alloy solves the over population problem and saves my vegetable garden from being used as a litter box. It also helps feed the coyote population.
