    IMO When using high power 22, ricochets were only heard when hitting a hard flat surface, however after being a dedicated subsonic and suppressor convert for twenty years ricochets are more common than thought. I would say that more than 50% of shots bounce. Even when hitting rabbits heads, a bounce is heard. With suppressors damping the reports there appears to be a greater evidence of heard ricochets. Fortunately I hunt in an unpopulated area otherwise this could be a problem.
    Anyone else have similar views ?
