    I used CCI segmented subs (not the slower quiet version) to try and reduce the ricochet issue.
    Still an issue, but the 3 segments are no longer heavy or even remotely aerodynamic, so they don't tend to go very far. They do make quite the whistling sound tho, so you know when they have gone through your target, and are airborne again.
    As for killing potential - pretty good. Normally one entry and 3 exit wounds.
    Ended up using a 17 hornet and frangible projectiles for the properties with ricochet risks , and ricochets were a thing of the past. Pity it's an expensive rifle to feed compared to the 22lr.
