My Ultra Varmint was call a 'bull' , but is a heavy tapered.
I just did some chrono test today with the Win. Dynapoints (flash plated 45 gr. lead HP) and they run 1500ish out of the 22" barrel (rated at 1550 IIRC). Definately a step up from 22LR for thwackin' junk. The fast 22mag HPs can be destructive. The solid points will take small game and leave meat to eat.
In a lot of ways a more practical step up from 22LR would be the .223, but it's more cartridge and noise than I need. I think I've had this UV for 4 or 5 years and still like it.
Have fun!
