I am going on a back packing/hunting trip this upcoming Friday, Nov 25th. It was sort of a last minute thing and I opted to go. I am usually a 300WinMag shooter so the idea of a 22 is extremely foreign to me. I will be hoping to snag some small game a.k.a. rabbit, beaver, fox maybe even some coyote. But I have no idea what ammo to carry.
I don't have time to order online as I will be leaving in a few days. So I need big box store ammo... in other words something that Cabela's, Gander Mountain, or Bass Pro will carry so that I can walk in grab what I need and head out on the trip. Anyone have any suggestions??? Do I want high velocity? Hollow points? Any specific brand or line?
And lastly, what can I reasonably expect to take down with a .22lr? I mean my 300wm delivers thousands of pounds of force and the 22 brings like 100ft/lbs of energy. What is a reasonable distance to take down a coyote or fox?
THANKS!
