This is pure ****. I usually don't comment on these kind of wannabe threads but I'll make an exception. Even with 5.56 ball we frequently had to shoot 'em twice, or more to put them DOWN. One shot with a WELL PLACED head shot was usually enough but that opportunity was rare. .30 cal anything was better...

Facial bones are tough and angled such that rds have a bad habit of deflecting and NOT penetrating. It happens with better rds than 22 LR.

Thinkin' you're gonna be a hero with your 15-22 has little chance of turning out well.... Good Luck
