I've been bad... I came home today with a .22 Magnum NAA mini-revolver for deep concealment (for my new job).
Anyway, I feel MUCH more comfortable knowing this is a .22 magnum instead of a .22 LR, but I want to know what the best "carry load" might be for this caliber.
I hesitate to carry some of the hollowpoints out there, meant for instant disintegration (for varmints), and I don't know what the .22 magnum's penetration is like, so I'm kinda iffy about carrying FMJs. Soft points, like Remington's pointed SP, seem like they'd be a good "happy medium," but again -- I just don't know.
These three look good to me:

Anybody have any knowledge about the .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire? Particularly, penetration and expansion characteristics?
