Not dead, just uninterested lately.

Neighbor is down to 2 chickens thanks to raccoons. He trapped 3 so far. I shot each one of them in the skull with a .22 pistol. Still more to go according to his cameras...

He only has a pellet gun and a 58 muzzle loader. Neither of them appropriate. I got the Browning Buckmark and plenty of rounds. Still kinda loud, but nobody has called the cops yet.

An empty 1 liter spa bottle can contain more than liquid, just saying. Recycle immediately.

CCI and a few other manufacturers make a subsonic "quiet" .22lr round. I have some and have shot them before out of a pistol and a rifle. They hardly make a sound when shot out of a rifle. Might wanna pick up a box if you need to be more discreet.

Aguila makes colibri and super colibri. It's a super light load behind a like 12gr bullet. Colibri is the lightest and as quiet (and as powerful) as an airgun. Super colibri works on raccoon. There's another one, SSS sniper subsonic. It's a 60gr bullet on a 22 short to be overall size as 22lr. Considerably louder than the colibri, but quieter than a regular 22lr subsonic.

After I put a can on my 22 I no longer had a need for the quiet stuff. Regular federal bulk doesn't go supersonic in my ruger mk, so it's just a click from the gun and a thunk when it hits the raccoon.

One cautions with very low power loads, make sure the bullet actually leaves the barrel. I have a Mark II with a super slight bulge in the barrel because a round didn't get out before another round pushed it out.

Until today I thought .22 subsonics were only subsonic out of a pistol because the longer time the bullet is under pressure in a rifle barrel pushes it over the speed of sound so the shot still produces a sonic boom which makes the shot loud but I googled it and they work in rifles too.

Regular bulk pack 22 in a short handgun won't typically go supersonic.

I buy subsonic for my rifle with a can on it. Insanely quiet.

Updated my spreadsheet where I've been tracking what I smoke along with notes and stuff.

Yesterday's cigar was number 499.

Never thought I'd be smoking 500 cigars in a year. Gotta stop soon though, annual piss n blood tests at work come early January. Haven't gotten my date yet.
