Pffft - Big deal - any hunting rifle can do that to a certain distance. At grouse hunting range, inside 25 yards - this would be
typical for a .22LR. Surely you must be talking about some significant distance. If you're talking 100yards well then that is impressive but that's far from a typical distance for a grouse shot. Heck, I don't think I can even see grouse at 100yards.

I also only head shoot grouse. Cheap and easy with a nicely scoped .22. I'll be that .17 is a lot of fun with that extra range and velocity.
