Reading through this again I began to wonder, is it possible that the rounds that they found were indeed rifle rounds? Could they have been .22 Hornet, 22-250, .223, .222, .220 Swift, .223 Winchester Super Short Magnum, or were they in fact the most basic .22 LR?

^ Actually with my Anschutz Heavy Match Grade 54, .22LR, with its 16x Unertl scope and Match grade ammo-theoretically speaking of course-don't raise your head if I were around and had my sights on you, even from 100+ yards a .22 head shot will do you in.

These rounds were “seeded” to get the press worked up, end of story.

yes, id agree with that. just toss some 22lrs around to get everyone fired up. i have a few sweet 22lrs. S&W M&P AR22 is my newest, much much fun. and a ruger 10/22 with CF bull barrell, comp, barrel mounted bushnell, all titanium hardware and supermatch trigger. tack driver!

Love my S&W MP15/22 what a fun rifle to shoot, I have four magazines so the fun never stops.

As to driving tacks, I could drive finishing nails with my 54. Distinguished Riflemen, Certified Rifle Instructor.

Crap I used to be able to clip the wings off a fly with that rifle. Even tried out for the Olympics with it for 1976.

Guess I wasnt all that good after all, I was not invited back.

My brother has a 10/22 that too is fun to shoot, i have the orignal designed .44 I use on deer, stops them in their tracks under 100 yards.

Good to know i was wondering if those SS's were as quiet as I would like them to be.
I have a red dot on my mini, bet it would be nice on the M&P and look cool too.
