The Cheapest And The Deepest...

[cyclone]

Hollowpoints, of course! What on earth else would I have been referring to?

Actually, here's another general rimfire query - what is:

(a) the least expensive rimfire hollowpoint out there,

(b) the deepest rimfire hollowpoint out there, and/or

(c) the best value rimfire hollowpoint out there?

I was thinking in terms of the .22 LR, but feel free to posit what you will...

Winchester Power-Points have to rate pretty high on th scale. They were originally developed in Australia for Wallaby control.

dynapoint.... $15 a brick at wally world, shoot's "not bad" and hit's critter's pretty hard... all around decent for my cooey and steven's.

Cheapest are probably the winchester dynapoints - if you can still find em. Most accurate and deepest hollow point is probably the powerpoints

 

[Fassteel]

Cheapest is either Dynapoint, or American eagle, and the deepest is any bullet you'd care to customize with the Paco Tool. FS

I bought a box of Gameloads that were cheaper then what Walmart sells Dynapoints for. The hollowpoints on the Gameloads are also bigger and deeper then the hollowpoints of the Dynapoints.

Dynapoints shoot and feed really well in my 10/22. Can't say the same for the federal bulk and Xperts.

I think Experts have a very deep HP.

as for the hollow point end of it i have 3 round's here, winchester super X, Remington sub sonic AND dynapoint...

Dynapoint has about a 1/64" indent in the tip

Remington SS has approx 1/8" deep hollow point and is just under 1/16" in diameter

Winchest SuperX is approx 3/16" deep and i'm going to guess a 3/64" opening

all measurement's taken with a good ole wooden toothpick.

You get a hundred more rounds with a brick of dynapoints over gameloads.

Cheapest I've seen lately is $15.75 with tax for 525 round federal bulk packs.

Not sure what the deepest hp is but the best hp for controlled expansion is the velocitor, which has a speer gold dot hp. The most explosive hp has got to be the quik shoks.

I always just used a drill bit...

Grumble - that Paco just made another...is it worth getting it in addition to the 1st?

Hmmmm.

Not sure about deepest. Cheapest would have to be American Eagle or Winchester Dynapoint. I pick up Dynapoints alot, but am not fond of American Eagle. Overall, prefer CCI and, when I can find them, Lapua. Loathe Remington rimfire ammo.

I just bought 10,000 rnds of CCI Mini Mags
Maybe not the cheepest but they work flawlesly in my 10/22 and are prety accurate out of my CZ.

Dynapoints are probably the cheapest, Yellow jackets have a pretty nasty looking HP, as do CCI Subsonic.
