For plinking and targets is there any advantage of hollowpoints vs. Solid points?

No, and they can get you in to trouble should one work its way out of your range bag and start rolling around on the floorboards of your car.

 

Ok, technically they are more accurate but that's only if you're dealing with match ammo already.

How many people have gotten in trouble for loose .22 in the trunk?

No one.

No one.

 

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

 

 

 

TBH, if you are messy enough to let .22's roll around your trunk I'd more worried about dropping something heavy on a rimfire round next time you go shopping.

I keep my ammo in an ammobox. I occassionally leave a few 9mm casings on the floor. I feel it keeps my stuff from growing legs and walking off.

 

Hollowpoints are normally plated, which should leave your gun cleaner and I believe cuts down on airborne lead(don't quote me on that). It also happens to come in bulk packs from Federal, a reliable ammo manufacturer. Not many brands come in plated round nose bulk ammo. Before late December a 525 round box of plated HP Federal .22lr was about 18 bucks. Same for American Eagle (made by Federal). The only plated round nose ammo I use are CCI minimags and CCI AR Tactical. Both are at least 30 bucks for 500 rounds (pre-hysteria).

Ok, technically they are more accurate but that's only if you're dealing with match ammo already.

 

Do you have data that supports this? This sounds like a made-up fact.

Note that he said technically. With a greater mass at the rear of the bullet (due to the hollowpoint), it is better stabilized, thus technically, more accurate.

 

Point of fact is that most .22 rimfires tend to have preferences for particular ammunition. You may find that your loves Remington gold palted bullets, while others castigate them as junk. You really need to some trials with any rimfire to find out what it shoots best, from both a functionality standpoint and an accuracy standpoint.

 

Adios,
