Interesting I've shot a lot of Colibri and Super Colibri (can't remember the
difference) over the last few years. Thats pretty much all my Dad keeps around
the house to shoot squirrels with.

About 8" for standard velocity IIRC.

True. 50 yards has always been accepted as the 22LR hunting
limit, both for accuracy and small game killing power.

Beware. I bought some of the Colibri 20gr and noticed when
reading the box they are only for handguns. "When fired in
long-barreled firearms such as rifles, bullets may remain lodged
inside the long barrel."
It is interesting that 22LR ammunition remains so cheap. You
can buy those same crappy Remington 22s for $1.90 a box that I paid
$1.25 for sixty years ago at the local hardware store. That was 3 or
4 hours of lawn mowing for a kid back then.
