.22 Magnum (lead) ammo ?
« on: April 19, 2008, 06:14:01 AM »
Can someone tell me of a ammo manufacturer that makes solid lead ammo for my .22 magnum ? Ive seen what a Remington hollow point and a full metal jacket Maxi-Mag looks like after going through 4 and 5 stacked thick 2X4 pressure treated wood and they are in almost original shape. I believe I would like to have a bullet that will mushroom out to a much larger diameter for a larger exit wound. Any suggestions ?
Thanks

Thanks quickdtoo. It looks like those are for optimum penetration. I guess I need to look for something else. Im looking for something with expansion. They talk about theyre hollow points expanding but they dont mushroom or expand that I can tell. Any suggestions on a bullet that will expand / mushroom and cause a larger exit ?
Thanks

I have little experience with the 22mag, but I'd think the Win Dynapoints would be a good one if they shoot accurately, it's a plated lead HP.
