Compatible Barrel Required

I couldn't hit a stationary basketball beyond 10 yards using my bolt action, wood stock, Ruger American 22-inch barrel and this QUIET ammunition. Switched to using my Marlin 39 TDS lever action 16.25 inch 'micro-groove' and grouping 10-shots consistently inside a quarter size hole at 33 yards. Benching off bags, AO -12 power scope on both rifles. No changes except for the ammo and 10-shot dime to nickle sized groups with same Ruger and same Marlin setups using CCI standard velocity 1070 fps 40 grainers solid or hollow point lead at 50 yards. Marlin is zeroed for CCI standard velocity rounds at 50 yds, just a matter of determining the mil-dots for the QUIET at different ranges absolutely no further than 35 yards. Go figure, one barrel works so well with these. Needed more QUIET for the all-too-frequent garden pests turning my organic health food into their personal outdoor salad bar, so enjoying these rounds for what they are designed for. Your gun barrel results will vary.

Great on small game

I use this on ground squirrels under 50 yards. Its quiet, kills quickly and doesnt ricochet. It is not and should not be considered a match-grade cartridge. Its accuracy is good for small game at shorter ranges. It is safe for backyards and farm yards with proper backstops unlike the high velocity loadings which can ricochet into neighboring properties.
