I always figured the 60 grain subsonic 22 would give quite a thwack, but it does not feed well when made of pure lead.

Needs copper jacket.

The venerable 22 is a terrier, but I'm always thinking about THUMP

I’ve had good luck with the Thunderbolt too (Ruger 10/22), but have heard that it is not good to use in pistols. I bought some Wolf match grade one time, and it was the worst ever! It could have been a bad batch, I guess, but have never figured that out. I should have someone test it with a chrono.

For accuracy with a rifle, I think you should stick with something that has a velocity of around 1200 fps or slightly less.
