I was checking out the ammo deals on CTD today searching for .22 WMR ammunition for this spring. I've got a Savage 93 that love the Federal 30 grain TNT hollow points, but I usually read the reviews on other brands to see if there is something else I should try. Found this one endorsement for Winchester Supreme 34 grain HP ammunition. I got quite a chuckle out of it and thought I should share it.
While I might try it for prairie dogs, I don't think I'll be tackling moose and bear anytime soon with a 34 grain hollow point at 2200 fps. Especially with a revolver! This guy sure has big dreams for hunting with his little .22 WMR.
I know this probably isn't relevant to this forum, but I hope people put more thought into choosing adequate cartridges than this guy. I'm still a firm believer that there is a point when even though it is legal it should not be used, let common sense prevails. I think I’ll stick to my Federal .22 WMR ammunition for varmints and at least grab my .243 Win for the bigger game!
TALK ABOUT PERFORMANCE!!!

I've been hunting exclusively with my Taurus .22 Magnumm revolver for 10 years now and when I hunt with it I only feed it with the 34 grain supremes. My experiences with this bullet have all been superb. Everything from squirrels to moose ,can be taken with it ,under the right conditions. Personally my kill list includes turkey,coyote,snowshoe hares,cotton tails,squirrel,pheasants,grouse,and grounhogs.On my wish list is a Maine whitetail buck, blackbear,and a moose in Vermont, Maine and Vermont allow .22 magnums for big game.I have done penetration tests with the supreme,that remove all doubt. Why a gun writer would say the .22 Mag is outdated and I should be using a .17 is crap .THERE IS NO COMPARISON PERIOD......
