Winchester Expiditer 22 LR 32gr HP Ammo

I just shot a large Groundhog in our back yard tonight at about 70 yds with
my Marlin 880 SQ rifle. I was using this Winchester Xpediter ammo for the first time.
The feet per second is listed as 1640 with a 32 gr HP bullet, well a well placed
shot did the trick, the hog was facing me and I swear I put the bullet down his throat through his mouth. I had a good steady rest and with a 6-18 x40 power scope ,(I know really overkill for a 22! ) I put the shot exactly where
I wanted. That Varmint was DEAD! one shot Good Night Irene!
I have not tried this ammo out on targets for groups yet. Has anyone else
used this ammo? Works well on Woodchucks with little mess.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
