Winchester Grey Box Hp is your answer, no poly tip bullet is good for breaking shoulder blades.
Win Supreme 34g hp does not even kill feral cats reliably, expands too quickly.
Jeff,
Ive been doing a lot of looking at ballistic stuff since I want to shoot my .22mag at a 25 yard indoor range when I get it to sight it in and get it as close as possible at 100 yards. here is some info that I came up with on the 3 loads I have ready to test.
45 Grain Win Dynapoint - 1575 fps muzzle 240 Ft/lbs Muzzle
1162 fps 100 yds 135 ft/lbs 100 yds
40 Grain CCI MaxiMag Jhp - 1975 fps muzzle 312 ft/lbs muzzle
1337 fps 100 yds 159 ft/lbs 100 yds
30 Grain win supreme vmax- 2250 fps muzzle 337 ft/lbs muzzle
1449 fps 100 yds 150 ft/lbs 100 yds
federal 50 grain is only 5 ft/lbs higher than the cci at 100 yards and you can find the cci everywhere on the shelves. if it shoots good out of your gun id grab the maxi mags and go for it. keep it under 100 yards.
Foot pounds do not are meaningless in this application.
The Dynapoint leads up a barrel fast, 30g won't penetrate, and CCI's may work the very best of the 3.
I have had 3 ruger 22 Mags and a Mauser 201, none of them would shoot the 50g Federal, about 4" at 100 yard groups. Good thing, because the 50g Federal does not have a flat shooting trajectory.
With 22 mags on predators, shot placement is key, then you have got to have good penetration.
