22PLINKSTER: PERSONAL DEFENSE 22LR AMMO - FEDERAL PUNCH

[druryj]

Thanks for the range report. I just got a brick in this week. Hoping to get out and test it in my S&W revolver soon.

I'll bet it will be more than fine in a good revolver.

CCI has Velociraptor shells right now available on their website. Kinda pricey $10 dollars a box but I ordered a few anyway just to try them out. If you order 10 they ship free. They had quiet 22 also as of a few minutes ago. Got to check their site early in the AM and they sometimes let a few out.

Thanks for this information. I did not know it is possible to order direct. Velocitor and Sringer were still in stock moments agp, I ordered 5 boxes of each and got free shipping.

I just ordered 5 boxes of Winchester silver tips to give a whirl. Good thing they’re on sale for $8.97 since shipping was $18 bucks! It was the cheapest I found.

I have read somewhere in the distant past that a .22 is a dangerous caliber to be shot with because of it's size. It entered the body and when there is resistance such as bone it starts to tumble and does a great deal of damage from a medical standpoint Does this sound correct?

Maybe so, if it's a .223 or 5.56. I don't think a .22LR will have the "oomph" to do a lot of tumbling.

.22LR is a head-shot round IMO. Other opinions may vary.

Just my 2¢ ...

+1 on the 5.56. IIRC, the early ARs had a slow twist rate and the bullets/projectiles were just barely stabilized. They tumbled immediately if they hit anything.
