This is a shot intro blurb by CCI but I have seen several other videos from various people on YouTube including 22Plinkster.
The much longer 22Plinkster video on the new ammo.
It is intended as a self defense ammo for a short barreled 22 LR handgun. 22Plinkster makes is seem like it was intended for semi-auto's only due to velocity lost in revolves due to the cylinder gap but I would like to see some chrono numbers to back that up. The reason I didn't put this in the handgun section was because the first thing I thought of when I saw this ammo was squirrel hunting. Not that a good old 40gr 22LR solid don't do a fine job on them but a Jacketed hollow point that reliably opens at 22 LR pistol velocities would certainly do a number on the limb-rats. 22Plinkster does shoot it from a 16-inch barrel too into ballistic gel. The bullet seems to open reliably over a pretty broad range of velocities. I would have like to seen some chrono data to got with that. They are advertised at 950 fps from a 4-inch or shorter barrel. Wonder what that would be from a 16 or even 20 inch barrel?
