Heavy wadcutters for hunting
- Thread starter rathunter
- Start date
Heaviest .22 wadcutter is the Gamo Match at 15.43gr. Don’t waste your money on them though, they were some of the most abysmal pellets I’ve ever had the misfortune to try. Instead give the RWS Meisterkugeln a try. A perennially good pellet in most guns.
Assuming this question is in the same context as your earlier question about rats at short distance, a heavy weight offers no particular advantage anyway.

Got a list of .22 wadcutters (PDF attached below). In the end your gun likes what it likes and that's that.... 
Wadcutters for hunting:
Because of the head shape they will crush more tissue as they bulldozer through our quarry's tissue than a domed pellet that will slither through it.
Bob Sterne calls this the difference in tissue BC, IIRC.

I am interested in wadcutters, domed pellets don't do it for me when hunting. I like the idea of the flat nose crushing through flesh. If weight is not a factor at close range I will try some standard weight pellets available locally.
