Montana Marine: Thank you for that informative chart.
I will try to copy and paste it - if not successful could you direct me to its source for copying there?
TIA
And thanks again.

Fireball2: Count me in.
Good idea.

Montana Marine: Disregard that source inquiry - it copied and pasted (is that a word?) just fine.
Thanks again.
And on that list is one of the Remington 22 L.R. offerings I could NOT remember the name of and have also not seen in a long time the Remington "Viper".
I used to use those on occasion way back when.

If I remember correctly the Viper was the solid version of the Yellow Jacket

Yes it was. I still have 400 of those left too.

Here's where I found the info.

https://www.mcarbo.com/22LR-Ballistics-Chart

There are a few on that chart that aren't .22LR's. I see a Remington high velocity .22 short and two CB's on the list.

I'll need to look, but think I have some Yellow Jackets, and will try to get some into water filled milk jugs at 100 yards soon.

It will be interesting to see how many they will penetrate at the distance or if the bullet will stay in lined up jugs.

WW Power-Points, the early ones anyways were always quite deadly and very accurate. As to expansion of various rounds, it may sound counter intuitive, but I would expect Subsonic HPs - the CCI to open downrange, due to it's cavity depth and volume. That likely applies to others - I believe one or two from overseas like RWS may also be similar. Not sure how they would kill at long range, as they start out slower, though will have less ballistic lag because of it, so shed speed slower.

Yellow Jackets were my choice back in college in a 4" M17 - it was deadly on various critters out to near 100 yards, how much was the bullet used vs placement, I cannot say. It did put things down quick.

In rifles, I noticed a difference in WW PPs vs CCI Mini-Mag HPs. PPs being more lethal downrange. No experience....yet with Velocitors.

Yes the old Power Points were good too. Another with a deep, gaping hollow point that expanded well. The old Dynapoints didn't expand for shyt though and might just as well been solids. Same for those copper plated 550 bulk pack Federals with the dinky little dimple in the end.

Don't know about that brand, but HP's versus solids makes a substantial difference with the former seriously laying the squirrels out. Good accuracy with solids, but they just don't thump the squirrels or flip them end for end.

If you want to lay waste to smaller animals, put a CCI Segmented Mini-mag into the front half.

I tried those "Quick Shok" hyper velocity segmented hp .22's when they first came out. They were very destructive on small critters at close range. Couldn't say how they'd be farther out because they were too inaccurate to hit anything beyond spitting distance.

Was news to me that the Remington Yellow Jackets were discontinued, bummer. I did wet newspaper test awhile back and those seemed the most consistent.

Not what I'm talking about at all.

I don't think they are discontinued, just not currently being made.

I knew that.
They are not listed on the Remington ammunition website since Vista took over.

1minute: I host a LOT of Ground Squirrel Hunters each year and I am going to have to "politely" somehow insist that no more round nose rimfire bullets nor standard velocity rimfire bullets be used when I am hosting.
The downrange results on the Varmints are just not even close to humanely dispatching the little targets.
Have had the round nose/standard velocity munitions show up three times now in the last three years - inappropriate, inadequate and inhumane.
Again good work you guys at C.C.I. on the perky and lethal Velocitors - I still need to get them to the bench at my range for accuracy clarification.
The local Murdochs sold out of these by the way - which brings up another aspect - ammo availability at any particular moment/day?
So I'll put the word out next winter to give my Hunting friends all time to acquire hollow-points.
Snowing here again today.
Damn.

I can’t get them to expand so I went back to Stingers. They do kill very well including deer but its the velocity and penetration doing it.

Velocitors are good, but I prefer Winchester 42gr Power point.
