SUPER COLIBRI OFFLINE
SUPER COLIBRI FREE

Really? A stock 10/22 that was free floated? At 30 yards, not 30 feet? Why I ask is because one time a person claimed a 3 inch group at 50 yards, when he really meant 50 feet (See link below) Even a clean hit does not always lead to a quick death as I have described in previous posts, and that it why I sometimes use a dog as a backup and joking claim that dog does a quicker kill then Super Colibri.ДЄ warning should be placed on the Super Colibri box 'not be use by any person that is bothered by animal suffering' as that will certainly happen if you use Super Colibri regularly. As you know, Super Colibri can kill, but not effectively without a clean hit. While it is in my right to use a firearm in the area I live for pest control, I do not want to frighten neighbors or deal with a concerned sheriff (what they don't know won't hurt them). 22 LR is to great to be fired safely in a residental area. Furthermore, as you noted, the range and energy of a standard. 22 LR noise is guaranteed to get the local sheriff called. There are many nervous, antigun, neighbors near my house, and any standard. I use Super Colibri around the house for varmint/pest control, not hunting. But - can you honestly say that every shot you make will be a perfect head shot or right into the chest cavity? Are you that good of a field range estimator that you won't take any shots past that 25 yard mark? Will Colbri's kill? Of course - and probably reliably at 25 yards or less with excellent head or heart/lung shots. The Colbri's just seem like you're opening up yourself to wounding an animal and possibly having them escape to suffer a long, painful death. BUT here's my answer to those two 'advantages' - I've never heard of anyone complain about the noise of a 22LR in the woods, and if you're using a rifle of any kind to hunt with - then you should be in an area that can safely handle the limited range of a 22LR anyway. Their advantage? Quiet - which I don't know why that would be a big issue when hunting squirrels, and a lower chance of a miss with a round going on to injure someone behind your target in the line of fire. To me, using Colbri's, which in most rifles don't shoot super accurate, is handicapping you in multiple ways - short effective range, less accurate, and low energy delivered. In my opinion, if you're going to hunt then you should use 'enough gun' to humanely kill the animal quickly even with a less than perfect shot. My question is why use Colbri's when you can use something a lot more accurate and powerful with just a standard velocity 22LR like the Winchester Dynapoint hp's? If you want to get rid of rats from damaging your property, noise is an issue with the neighbors, and suffering varmints don't matter just the final results, then Super Colibri will do the job. The CCI CB longs will definitely penetrate a squirrels body. You might consider CCI CBs for a better kill however they are noiser than Super Colibri. If a suffering varmint bothers you in the slightest, I would not recommend using Super Colibri as quick kills are no guarantee. The crippled animal will not be able to properly climb trees, and if the wound doesn't kill him, eventually a dog (or even another squirrel) will do the job. A body shot will cripple and eventually kill the squirrel but it could take from several minutes to a couple of days. Head shoots are a must for a quick kill, however I once hit a squirrel in the head with Super Colibri and the little rascal lingered on for about a minute (even climbed a tree to eyeball me) before dropping. In fact, the dog can kill a squirrel faster than Super Colibri.

I let the dog track the wounded animal down. I have killed a couple of squirrels at the 25 - 30 yard range but they are usually body shots and a bit of luck. I have killed numerous squirrels with Super Colibri, at the 50 ft range or so, however the bullet normally does not penetrate all the way through the squirrel with only one single exception.

I suspect the short length bullet is unstable, and like a wild golfing slice, doesn't really start bending offline until further downrange. Super Colibri has plently of flyers and for whatever reason, Super Colibri really opens up after the 50 foot range on my CZ-452 Scout. 75 inch, 5 shot groups at 10 yards and 3-4 inch 5 shot group at 25 yards using a CZ-452 Scout. What do you mean by 'ragged hole' at 30 yards? Less than an inch? What kind of gun are you shooting as I need to buy one.
