Size don't matter, but shot placememt does. A well placed head shot would drop most living things.

Very true.
But a badly placed .22 in the mouth ain't so good

I must be going soft in my old age but do people really use .22 lr subsonic for fox shooting. If I shoot at something I prefer to kill it quickly. Do people think the .22 subsonic is man enough? I tend to use it around the garden for plinking.
Also is it legal to shoot fox with the .22?
Very true.

100%.222rem through a good moderator doesn't wake up the countryside.
I'm sorry to say it's not an old wives tale. A few years back I had a ruger 22 magnum which I bought a t8 moderator for. I shot hundreds of round through it with no issues and sold it on to my local rfd. A few months later I was in the shop when the owner showed me what remained of the moderator. There was about a 2 inch hole in the side of the moderator which had peeled open like a tin can. They man that bought the rifle said it went off like a black cat firework!. Luckily no one was hurt. The manufacturer said it shouldn't have been used on a rimfire because of this. I know the centre fire powder might burn it off but this mod was used for nothing but rimfire which I was wrongly told would be ok for purpose. I couldn't believe the damage it did to the moderator- very scary to say the least.Who are "they"?
old wives tale.
I use the same mod on 6 calibres 2 of which are .222 and .243
no such thing as unburnt powder, there may be powder residue from the 3gr charge of Lil'gun in the rimfires but it is swiftly blown out the end of the moderator by 40gr of N160 going off!
+1 for 300 whisper/300blk. .22 quiet but with 220 grains of hurt!
just bought one of the above had it screw cut and modded very quiet indeed
im hopeing the new 20 Tac will be even quieter regards pete
