what's better .25 or .22?

[pontiacpratt]

I'm planning on taking head shots of elephants at 2000 yards minimum. Would you choose a gun chambered in 25 auto or. 22 for this purpose. Which is better?
I really don't want to spend more than $100 what are your suggestions?

I would never be caught in the African savannah with anything less that a .27 magnum rimfire.

[pontiacpratt]

A magnum round? I don't know if I could handle the recoil. What could I do to reduce recoil?

[Haplo]

I would split the difference and go with 24bmg gap.

[longhairchris]

Go .22 short, less recoil and faster followup shots.

[pontiacpratt]

.22 short sounds good but stopping power might be an issue. I'm looking for a one shot stop.

Go oldschool...black powder 22.

Whats with all the trolll threads this morning? Screw both those guns, use s .177 bb gun. You can take down an elephant from atleast 2 miles.

[Down Range]

A real man would use this:

Daisy Red Ryder BB Carbine Air Gun:

* Solid wood stock
* Smooth bore steel barrel
* Lever-cocking, spring air action
* Maximum velocity: 350 ft/s
* Maximum shooting distance: 195 yds
* Uses .177 cal (4.5 mm) BBs
* 650-shot capacity
* Crossbolt trigger block safety
* Weight: 2.2 lbs
* Length: 35.4"

$32.97, 650 shots and California legal!

.... just don't put your eye out with that thing.

So .25 being sub-sonic can I put on a Silencer and the elephant wouldn't hear it coming right?

I am getting old-

How about moving this post to off topic or better yet, glock talk

At 2000 yrd they wouldn't hear it anyways, may I suggest you wear woman's clothing elephants love cross dressing men, I saw it on the discovery channel so it must be true

[pontiacpratt]

What about women who have had gender reassignment surgery then dress as a woman? Does that still count?
