Gyrfalcon: I don't know WHAT is going on in the American 22 rimfire market?
I was on a gun buying trip to the west coast last week and came across a small shop north of Seattle that had what I thought were the 100 round packs of Winchester 40 grain Power-Point hollow-points (the 1,280 F.P.S. bullets I am sighted in with for several of my guns!).
I bought 8 boxes of them at $9.99 a box and I did not realize until I got home that these Winchester 40 grain hollow-points were rated at 1,435 F.P.S.!
Darn.
Apparently they are a NEW offering - at least I have never seen them before.
Anyway I think I will dedicate my Kimber Hunter/silhouette heavy barrel gun to these 800 bullets and re-sight it in and shoot Ground Squirrels with them this season.
I will let you know how these "new" Winchester 40 grain high speed hollow-points shoot as compared to the old "stand-by's".
Its not good news to me about the difference in the hard to find Winchester Power-Points 40 grainers.
They have been a wonderful bullet for me for a LONG time.
Again, DARN.
And for me in all my travels trying to find the Federal hollow-point bulk packs is like finding hens teeth. And welcome to the Fire.
Hold into the wind
