Thread: Hollow points or solids

The velocitors loose speed rapidly, they aren't that accurate in some rifles. Personally I wouldn't think about it unless it had proved accurate. I have several semi 22s and none of them shoot it as well as std high veocity. One bolt action shoots it well but it's expensive and I don't see it has any advantage for me. I would only consider it if I had plenty of time to take to take the shot, the conditions were perfect and would consider 75 yds the max.
Your target area is less than 1 1/2 inches and certain angles the horns can act as deflectors.
From behind at the Atlas joint is probably the best presentation.
The bullet follows a "bit of a curve" and with a 50 yd zero its dropped about 4 inches at 100 so you have to be precise with your range and holdovers.
I'm not a fan of body shooting goats with the long rifle it hasn't got not enough grunt, and no ethical shooter would do it.
If you want rimfire consider the 22 wmr or better still get a 223, then you won't have to worry about bullet drop or wallop factor till past 200 yards
