This is a question about short range varmit shooting (rodent's in barns)

Is there such a thing as a rifle chambered in a relatively weak pistol cartridge (32 auto for example)

Seems like it would offer more than 22 LR without all that high velocity nonsense

You can get subsonic 22's...they travel less than the speed of sound. That ought to do the trick.

CB longs, that is the best for the indoor single bullet enthuiast! But the various .22 LR shotshells have made short work of some problem animals around my parts...

My brother said to me, "If I can quit drinking, you can quit shooting in the basement."

Clark,

you aren't shooting your 8 mm Mausers and those 45/70 Moisant Nagant conversions in your basement there in town are you????No wonder the neighbors get mad at you!

My client does not acknowledge shooting a 45/70 in the basement, nor being Clark.
