Thread: Hollow Point 22lr to reduce Ricochets

I do a bit of rabbit control on a few properties that either have stock or horses nearby or are in semi-populated areas, houses within 200m, close to roads and so on. I have been using subsonic round nose target ammo but have seen and heard a few ricochets, some even after passing clean through a rabbit.
A mate of mine has said that using hollow points will all but eliminate that problem as they tend to explode on whatever they hit first, but I'm not convinced it would make that much difference at low velocity.

I'm planning to make a hollow pointing tool to swage target ammo into hollow or flat points and give it a try as I don't like the idea of paying more for CCI HP than I do for premium target ammo.

Does anyone have any experience with hollow points being better for this? I cant use HMR or a varmint centerfire due to noise on these properties, so suppressed subsonic 22 is the only choice other than an air gun, which I am not interested in buying.
