[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1259650, member: 54178"] Seems like there is not much love for the .22 magnum. But consider its energy at ranges up to 150 yards. And its flatter trajectory when compared to the .22 LR. No, it is not as fast or flat shooting as the .17s but it does have "knock-down power" that exceeds them. And if necessary it can be used as a defensive round that has some punch. I'd rather have a .22 mag pistol than .32 pistol. The change in the last 20 years of .22 mag bullets from gilded lead to jacketed lead with either hollow points or plastic tipped rounds has helped accuracy as well as lethality. And these new bullets are generally heavier. Originally .22 mag bullets were just .22 LR bullets. This is no longer true. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
