With rising ammo prices, I am about to throw down a few hundred dollars on .22lr.
I'm thinking:
50% Golden Bullet/Cheap High Velocity bulk stuff for plinking, just to keep around in case
30% clean/copper plated High Velocity CCI Mini Mags
20% clean/copper plated subsonic (CCI Mini Mag standard velocity is subsonic at 1075 fps I believe)
My questions:
Is it worth buying the hyper-velocity rounds or will CCI high velocity hollow point mini mags at ~1260 fps work for mostly plinking, occasional (very) small game hunting (rabbits, etc)?
Does the Hollow Point/Solid Point difference really matter in .22lr? Does that little indent on a .22lr bullet really expand in flesh?
(this ammo will be used in a CZ-75 .22lr conversion pistol; Ruger 10/22 rifle; and rarely in a Walther P22 pistol)
