You need to be close for the .22 LR CCI

the .22 WMR shotshells are at least twice as effective. They have larger shot as well.

They DO make great encapsulated 9mm also that seem to run well through the 9mm autos I've used. I shot rats off he bushhog with them! The .40 S&W and .45 ACP shotshells work well too but NEVER try them from a revolver. They locked up the cylinder on mine.

The old full cylinder length brass, home made shotshells, with a 1/2" square of 1/4" thick dacron on the powder, under the shot, and capped with either a gas check of suitable size or made up card wad with hot glue are the bomb. (actually you can just use toilet paper and hot glue) The front wadding acts like a little projectile itself.

I have used .444 Marlin for .45 Colts, and .30-30 for .41 Magnums. Expanded by fireforming, and trimed. The front will need to be necked to pass through the chamber throats. It's fun figuring all that out. I've even done it with .510 GNR.
