You ever seen what #9 shot does to a human at close range?

I have, it takes off whole limbs.


My go to weapon for "being on the run" is a Ruger M77 22WMR, scoped with a 2lb trigger job, 40 grn winchester hollow points. Very accurate, factory ammo of most types, 100 yard dime size groups no problem. Easy head shot's at 100 yards offhand. Not too loud, no kick, can carry lots of ammo and will kill anything in north america with a well placed shot within 120 yards.

On a side note most body armor will not stop 22 WMR within 50 yards, in-fact most will not stop 22 lr within 25 yards. 17 HMR is also very dangerous as body armor will not stop it. Too much velocity, too small projectile, only steel plates or ceramic will stop it.
