Maico, What cartridge did you use for the 310 hog?

The Russian steel case ammo with the rooster on the box...about 1080FPS out of my rifle.

Subsonic is the key for long distance accuracy with 22s!

So under 1150 fps.? Correct me if I'm wrong, once the bullet drops below supersonic it loses fps. more rapidly than a rd. fired subsonic. Therefore loses trajectory and consequently accuracy.

Yep, goes all willy-nilly basically!

230 yards off the knees, 24lbs Gobbler. 3 feet high 1 foot right done the trick!

After big game season I am going to have to step it up with the .22!
