I like the fact that a few of the posters here have actually shot some kind of living creature with a 22. I have and they all dropped or ran away. I have had 22's including magnums fail on head shots because a skull has remarkable ability to deflect. Has any body else had a similar experience? I have come to prefer chest shots from a perpendicalar angle. Ihave seen squirrels with a sizable head wound and still trying to run away. I would like to more experiences and less hearsay.
