The reason you haven't seen any 40-grain hollow-point Winchester Power Point ammo in the familiar silver box we got used to is, apparently, they don't offer it anymore--despite what the Winchester website says. It has been replaced by a 42-grain HP version that, according to the few people who've bought and shot any, isn't nearly as accurate. The new 42-grain Power Point load comes in a black box.
John, Thanks for the info, disappointing as it is. My Kimber sure loves the 40 grain hollow point power points!

I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

Yeah, I have a couple of bricks saved, but exactly what for is a question! I usually use a .17 M2 or HMR for varmints anymore, and they work fine with head shots on small edible game too.
One great thing about the old Power Points was they almost always shot well in ANY .22 rimfire, whether handgun or rifle. The accuracy may not have been any better, or perhaps not quite as good, as some other hollow-point ammo, but I can't recall any of our .22's not shooting better than average with 'em, usually much better than average.
