I shoot 'em if they are black..mostly grackles and starlings..but they get smarter all the time. Can't hardly crack a window without the darn things flying now.. Range on the crimped 22 outr of my 63 is about 20 ft..a little farther out of a rifle. Still looking for that K-22. Anybody got one? Oh tried a few 45ACP shot cartridges out of my ol Colt(WWI vintage). Kills 'em a lot farther but it's also hard on the metal bird feeders. Couple even cycled the ol Auto
Love that ol 45. BTW we just acquired a neat little 45 carry gun we are gonna do a little test on. Will Post in handguns. It is a nice little ParaOrdnance LDA
