so i keep my glenfield 60 loaded with 32 grain stingers,it even states on the box "varmint "..anyway i shot a skunk the other day 5 TIMES and the darn thing still tried to run off & die, not a bad thing mind you but i don't want any critter to suffer. oh yeah i forgot it was about 250-300' pretty close range really.so i reloaded the rifle with CCI standard velocity lead round nose 40 gr cartridges,now it says "target "on that box..should i expect better results with this load ? or i may have a few box's of federal high velocity 22's i could try next time.
it seems to me the stingers aren't much better than Remington bulk ammo.faster maybe but no more stopping power.
