Thread: Why do .22s have such different accuracy with different ammunition?

Yeah, you are making sense.
I was thinking of hunting ammo due to the hollow points for expansion, but at the distances I'm shooting out to, the hollow points are not expanding anyway due to low velocity of under 900fps. @Mooseman said to open up the cavity of the hollow points to get the expansion but they still don't expand at those distances. So now I am only going for headshots.
Therefore I could use the target ammo which is solid lead....really no difference except for increased accuracy.
Yep you have put me onto a good idea I think
