Is there such a thing as "rat shot" for a .22 rifle or pistol?

CCI, Remington and several other brands offer shot shells in 22lr. Some are crimped metal casings and others have a blue plastic cap that holds the shot. I believe it's #9 shot.\n\nWinchester, Anschutz and several other firearms manufacturers offer smooth bore rifle chambered for 22lr shot. I've even heard of rural gunsmiths that take old beater single shot 22, bore out the barrel and offer them for rats, pigeons, and other nuisance critters.\n\nA search on http://www.gunsamerica.com will yield some for sale.

Check with your local state fish and game department. In many states its illegal to take  big game using a rimfire cartridge.\n\nThe avg velocity of a .22 rimfire cartridge is 900-1200 feet per second. Not much in foot pounds of muzzle energy (which is what you would use to determine it effective use). \n\nAny cartridge is lethal.\n\nRegister to enroll in a Hunter Education class and learn more about  the right equipment, the ethical taking of game and the benefits hunting has on animal populations.

The AMT Automag II described by Pathfinder is the only .22 Magnum semi-auto pistol I've ever heard of. There have been several different revolvers chambered in .22 Mag. They've been available for over thirty years, they work well, and they're still available new today.\nI believe the scarcity of .22 Mag autoloading pistols stems more from technical design problems than ammo cost. With very few exceptions semi-auto pistols are either blowback or recoil operated, and the combined high chamber pressure and low recoil of the .22 Mag. leads to difficulties with both systems. Fluted chambers and similar "tricks" have been less than effective at solving the problems, and even though the Automag II made it into production it gained a reputation for poor reliability.\n    There have been several attempts since the 1960s to design a reliable .22 Mag. semi-auto RIFLE and they've also met with indifferent success, although by many accounts Ruger now has it right with their 10-22 Magnum.

If you are allowed to shoot varmints with a semi-auto the Ruger 10/22 magnum is a good choice. A box of 50 shells is $6-$8.\nThe magnum has more range than the .22lr and is a lot cheaper to shoot than center fire ammo.\nWith practice shots to 150 yards and farther are possible. On the 22lr shots to 100 yards are about it's limit.\n10/22's are easy to upgrade with heavy barrels, new trigger groups and fancy stocks.

surefire might. or your local gun store might know.

Yeah, but I wouldn't worry too much. \n\nWithout the pistol what's the worry about having ammo that also happens to fit a pistol?  It's having the pistol that's the real issue. Right?\n\nAlso .22 rim-fire is very low power, not that I want to be shot at by it! :)

Tasco and Simmons make inexpensive scopes that work well on an air rifle or a .22- mono-tube construction with windage and elevation adjustments, can you can find them along with Crosman scopes at Walmart, the stores never all seem to carry the same brand for some reason- should be easy to get out of the store under 35.00

depends on use \nfor paper just cheap solids will work or if ur into extreme accuracy try black hills ammo\nbut if for hunting or self defence go with fedral hydra shocks +p ammo

Yes, while I do not have a direct link to a source for you... I have been hunting there many times. While never using a Savage Smokeless... I have used many other blackpowder rifles, as well as a smokeless. As there may be zone specific requirements for muzzleloaders, you should check the Arkansas DNR website.

I was shot in the left bicep with a .223 british military round. What did I think before? Well before it happened I thought, my god I hope I don't get shot, I hope I shoot the other guy first. When it happened it felt like a really big bee stung me on my arm, and then it started to burn really bad. Afterwards I thought, I hope somebody shot that son of a byatch, and somebody had already.

Wolf sells surplus 223 rds but I would recommend against them. I used them in my bushmaster and it was freaking hard to clean. Also, the gun started jamming after about 40 rounds. They have a lacquer coating on them that gets hot and gooey in the barrel.
