Thread: 22lr Resizing/Hollow Pointing Tool

Did you test a few of the flat nose bullets in wet news paper. I'd be interested to see the result if you did.

@SixtyTen - what distance did you check expansion? I might put a couple of my HP'd RWS rounds into some wet newspaper this weekend as a comparison, just for interest.

Point blank. I got an empty beer box and filled it up with soaked newspaper and cardboard and squashed it a bit. I just stood the box on grass and shot straight down into it. Velocity drops slowly on subsonic 22lr. Around 100fps less than MV at 100m for what I'm shooting.

Haven't done yet. I plan to try a few different projectiles tomorrow. Will do flat points and a couple of different hollow point designs I'm trying out.

Goodonya. I look forward to seeing the result.
