I have been told that the best load for stopping in these small calibers or the best it can get is FMJ because you get better penetration in hopes of hitting a vital organ.
The hollow points were not favored because in these calibers the bullet didn't travel at a high enough velocity to expand. I don't know if this would apply to .22 MAG. or those hyper velocity .22 LR like Stingers, Viper, Yellow Jacket and the Stinger segmented HP since these don't come in FMJ form and are very hot loads
I tested a .25 ACP in different types of bullets i.e FMJ, hollow points and Magsafe fragmented round.
The Magsafe appeared to do the most devistating damage into a 2 x 4 piece of hardwood. Then again this type of load has been known to create large superficial wounds but not enough penetration to do any harm. When I saw it in the 2 x 4 it penetrated well.
What do you think?
