A long time ago I shot 22 rimfires into phone books to compare penetration and expansion. Just from memory I recall something like this: remington viper 8" riveted solid round noses like federals and remington thunderbolts 5"-6" many of these mushrooming nicely. Remington yellow jackets 4" fragmenting CCI Stinger 3"-3.5" fragmented. Anyone else do something similiar with 22 rimfires? -------------------- THANOS WAS RIGHT! | ||

The standard velocity loads give the best penetration acording to an article Jack Lachuk wrote for Guns and Ammo years ago. I had great penetration from a 22 using the Korean PMC plated round noses. I had to finish off a very mobile wounded deer with the gun I had in my hands at the time and 3 of those PMC bullets penetrated 15 inches or so in a Washington state Blacktail. I wasn't the original shooter, he used a 30-30. | |||

Palidun--a deer shot with a 30-30 required a finishing shot? You sure it wasn't a .223? | |||

I've found the standard velocity .22 rounds to be better than the hyper velocity ones. It may be that the pure lead bullet can't stand the higher speed. I've found that the standard rounds are also more accurate than the hyper ones. Aim for the exit hole | |||

I get good results from Remington vipers. I eat squirrels, so hollow points are out. The wide metplat and high velocity really work well on fox squirrels at distance. | |||

I found this website about penetration from many calibers including the 22 rimfire. http://www.brassfetcher.com/index.html | |||

The CCI Mini-Mag which is slightly above std velocity comes in a 40gr lead bullet that does really well on penetration. It also comes on a 36gr HP but the 40 does much better. Free men should not be subjected to permits, paperwork and taxation in order to carry any firearm. NRA Benefactor | |||

I'd imagine the aguilla sss would be the winner, if you had a barrel with a fast enough twist to stabalize it. __________________________________________________ The AR series of rounds, ridding the world of 7mm rem mags, one gun at a time. | |||
