Let's say the SHTF and you lose your tactical wheelbarrow in a tragic boating accident. Your .38 is gone but you manage to save your 10/22. Now you are left with only a .22 for defensive purposes.

Let's also say you have an extensive ammo fort from years of .22 hoarding so you have basically any commercially available ammo at your disposal.

Which round do you choose as the most effective against bipedal aggressors?

Something lighet weight and super high velocity like Yellow Jackets? Extra heavy rounds like the 60 grain Aquila SSS? CCI's segmented HP that splits into three pieces?

If I have all that .22 I trade/barter for something else. Being "stuck" is all in your head.

CCI Velocitors(40gr 1435fps HP) without a doubt....they're plenty accurate and one of the hardest hitting .22s.

I'm thinking probably the CCI Velocitors or the Winchester Hyper Speed, a 40 grain HP at 1435 fps.

CCI CB Shorts.

I don't own a 10/22

My Marlin 39A is pelletgun quiet with CBs.  

I killed a feral hog with a Remington Short.  No doubt a CB would do the same.

If I could only shoot one 22 for the rest of my life ... make it a CB.

Win. 40gr. Power point.

Developed in Australia for whacking Marsupials.
Opens up nicely in Gelatin, has the necessary recoil impulse to cycle Semi-Autos.
Accurate on Par with T-22...it's parent.

Just saying.
I know what my stash looks like, and it's way too short on Power Points.

shot placement is crucial with the .22LR

I've had excellent luck with these
http://www.winchester.com/library/news-feed/Pages/Varmint-HE.aspx

I prefer them over traditional HPs for shooting varmints around the farm
Why? In my experience they kill faster.
Very easy to inflict a lethal hit with a .22 LR but have it take a long time to die
This Winchester load has worked very well for me....

.22 cal guns are ammo sensitive, so reliability would be the #1 consideration.   That said, it would probably be something CCI.   The Aguila SSS are dirty, and not accurate.

i would hope to lose my 10 22 and end up with one of my Winchester model 52Cs, ammo would be Eley black box.



I have shot single hole 5 shot groups with less than 0.05 spread, wind becomes the factor in your group size

Aguila SSS are longer than a standard .22LR. Most .22LR firearms are 1/12-1/14" twist, meaning the SSS don't stabilize. I have bricks of the stuff & none will shoot under a couple inches & keyhole at 25 yards.

It also doesn't feed well. The company recommended 1/7" rifling--especially if using a suppressor--to avoid baffle strikes.

All that said--there's a definite difference when a 60gr hits the target (it literally wobbles) vs a 40gr.

Mass is always good.

My .22 ammo choice is CCI Minimags--feeds in everything I own.

Federal bulk packs.  Quantity is a quality.

I sometimes shoot SSS through my 1/7 AR with CMMG conversion kit and it does really well with that twist.

CCI Stingers, though mini-mags seem to hum on my 22's. I did pickup some Segmented and Velocity, haven't been out to shoot them though.

SR22 and a SW15-22.

I believe I've read on here that with .22 you want LRN or copper RN for penetration purposes. That HP's simply do not penetrate to a reliable depth.

On the other hand, I've seen a lot of .22hp fail to expand at all from handguns.

you'd like the CCI Quiet, when you can find them again,,,,i shot them, Aquilla's, CB's & some other
primer only rounds & the Quiets are just as pellet gun silent out of a Rossi single shot, but hit
much harder based on recovered slugs & target impact results,,,,
I was buying Quiets for $2 sumptin a box when Wally world just had em' sitting on the shelf several
panics ago,,
I shoot the hell outta them in my back yard for practice,,,,

I love the Quiets. Very little noise from a rifle and damn near silent suppressed. My favorite for backyard crow/starling extermination.

This.  HV 40 gr LRN will penetrate the best.  You could do far worse.  Just make sure you're an expert at quickly clearing failure to fires.
