Spitzer-tipped .22lr

Recommended Posts

There were a few ammo types listed as "polymer tip" on ammoengine but the pictures looked like truncated cone copper plated lead.

 

Damn, was looking for something to get a little more distance out of the 22.

 

You might want to look at rifles in 17HM2. The caliber has diminished in popularity, but I think it is great. The ammo has 75% of the ballistics of 17HMR, but at half the cost. Savage still makes them, and you can get a new old stock CZ 452. You can even get a 17HM2 conversion kit for a Ruger 10/22.

Looks like some company came along and claims to make what I'm looking for:

I suspect its claims are mostly marketing BS

 

You would have to take care and ensure the FMJ wasn't used in a tubular magazine. Yes they are npt centerfire but i wouldn't want to press my luck.

 

I also don't think spitzer 22 rfs have enough velocity to start with to make a spitzer that much moe effective. Even the Hornaday Levevolution rounds really don't give that much of an advantage and are more a marketing ploy (to me anyway).
