for me i like 22
i hunt on the farm and some times a head shot can be very iffy due to roof or side of barns, so nice heart shot on pigeons does the trick ,
ive always hunted with 22 ive tryed 177 but didnt get on kept droping pellets me got fingers like sausages.
but did like the flat flight of the pellet .and idea of ft .
but in the end 22 won me , heavy lead , massive trauma .
