How easy would it be for an individual to hit the brain stem with a 22lr hollow point and a .22 long rifle

Just need to know how easy it would be to hit one's brain stem with a .22 or hollow point and a .22 long rifle and what the best position would be the best

Is that all you have access to?

Hello.

I go shooting sometimes and have shot everything from 22lr. (Ruger 22) to 7.62mm (Ruger M77) If you are to die, try and not use a 22lr. Can you get acsess to somehting better? 9mm or 38. Special? If not, and this is the only way, please combine it with something else as well so you don't trap yourself in your own body.

Happy hunting.

I don't like that gun either for ctb, but for any rifle, I would place the butt of the gun on the floor and then place my mouth over the end of the barrel. That would stabilize the rifle and make it much easier to reach the trigger. But, again, the rifle you mention isn't the best choice for ctb. Personally, I wouldn't chance it with that gun. They shoot rabbits with that gun because it doesn't blow the small rabbits away. It's just not that powerful.

Agreed. Bigger is better. And unless you have access to a ballistics dummy or a cadaver it will be hard to test out.
