CCI Mini-Mags are very accurate in my 10/22.

I'm not familiar with the Velocitors.  Going to give some a try if I can find them.
If they are any where near as accurate as the Mini-Mags they'd get the nod.  Impressive stats.

Pretty much this. I bought a HP maker and have had good results making HPs out of Wolf Match.

The Velocitors or similar high performing 22.

Everyone knows there are far better rounds for self defense, but even my friend's 9 year old kid can put 3 or 4 shots into a coffee can sized target in 2 seconds with a 10/22. That would surely put a hurt on most threats. With these kids, I have to slow them down or they'll burn through 25 rounds in the mag in no time.

It'd be one of the 40gr roundnose brands.

CCI Standard Velocity solids

They will never hear them coming.

This

Toe poppers , lots of em.

40 grain solids.  Penetration trumps expansion.

from what i have seen 40gr. round nose is slightly better than the hollow points in gel.

Overall length of the rounds matters more than just about anything with the lakeside AR conversions. You can read up on their forum and learn quite a bit.

My razorback is reliable on Minimags, everything else needs a little help.

So Remington golden bullets are right out then.



 

That's because the twist rate is wrong for the weight and length of the bullet. capitalist Arms makes a really nice barrel that is affordable.

For me, SHTF would mean shooting suppressed exclusively, so I'd go with CCI standard velocity. I need it to be subsonic and 39 grain to match the BDC on my Shepherd scope.

for handguns, CCI Trishock is the way to go. These used to be sold by someone else but are strictly a CCI product now. They use a Stinger case and fill it with a hyper velocity bullet that is segmented to come apart in three pieces. they offer the same bullet in the CCI Quiet Ammo now too.

yup.

OK, here's the deal-most barrels sold for the SSS rounds are 1:8 or 1:9. A good number of standard 1:16 barrels will stabilize the round, but they eventually keyhole beTween 100 and 150 yards. If you don't want to get a new barrel, a Paco Tool will resize them and make them stabilize better in a standard barrel.

In the right barrel, the SSS rounds are capable of amazing accuracy and buck wind a lot better than normal .22 loads. It is a specialty ammo, you have to work around its needs to get the best from it.

My choice.

I keep a 10/22 loaded with a 25-round magazine to deal with racoons getting in my garbage container out in my driveway. Those critters love getting into the garbage. And I have a big hill with woods behind my house that has many of them living there.  I actually would not mind them getting into the garbage if they would just eat some of it without spreading it all over "hell's half acre."

Now what if some night I heard something out there and took my little 10-22 loaded with CCI minimags out there to deal with that and it turned out to be the local white trash druggies  breaking into my cars parked in the driveway while they were looking for nickels, dimes and quarters to buy more drugs with?  

Yes, that's right.  They will do hundreds of dollars of damage breaking out car windows just in the hopes of finding a dollar or two of change in the console.  

And what if they were armed with a (probably) Saturday night special and shot at me?

I guess in that case I would quickly see just how good the CCI minimags really are while trying to save my life.

Although this is an improbable scenario it could happen in these times in which we live - even in a small Appalachian city like mine due to the number of poor druggies who need money between welfare checks for more nose candy or cannabis.

I don't want to ever be shot at again and I don't want to shoot at anybody (even in self-defense) but I guess a 10-22 loaded with 25 rounds of CCI minimags would be better than nothing. It could even save my life.

There are lots of vids on Youtube comparing ballistics of .22lr in gel, I'm not sure why but it doesn't seem like I can post vids on this forum.

Something like a solid CCI Mini-mag will penetrate much more than any of the hollow point high velocity rounds.  

I thought Stingers were a no-go in a 10/22?

Another vote for 40gr Win .Power Points

Velocitors or regular HV solids.

Stingers do not penetrate far enough and neither do most HP.

Subsonic I would go for Wolf MT or CCI Standard Velocity.

Minimag and take someone else's gun.
