Most states require that if you use a .22 you must use .22 long rifle hollow tips.
I have always used Federal .22 long rifle hollow point. I pick up a box of 500 rounds or so and that last me a little while. That is the joy of a .22 there ammo is cheap. Hopefully it stays that way.
Whatever is accurate in your gun. Personally, I don't think the .22 hollow points add much in the way of killing power for squirrels. A .22 to a squirrel is like a 12 ga slug to a coyote. Have never seen any tests, though. The bullets I've found were just deformed rather than expanded. Head shots have worked best for me, so expansion is a moot point. Actually, come to think of it, I have killed many squirrels with .177 flat point pellets.
Like usmcturkey said, a 22 hp knocks them off a limb better than a solid.
Hollow Points or Solids really doesn’t matter because you don’t have the sectional density in a squirrel for a hollow point and for what matters most is the accuracy that counts!
i use hallow point anytime i shoot a .22
You all get an "A". .22 hollow points.
i like .22 HP
.22 Eargesplitten Loudenboomer?
Barnes Varmint Grenade
I like the CCI Stinger.
Standard velocity solid point.
Rabbit police I don't know about that hollow point requirement. I don't see it in the GA regs...
I like Hollow Points. I shoot Blazer and CCI and remington. Although CCI are DANG expensive.
Any of 'em. You gotta shoot well.
Hallow points.
my gun likes cci and remintion but i find my self shooting remintion most of the time becase it cheaper
Remintion????
the one that kills them
I usually use Remington hollow-points. CCI small gane rounds work great too.
Obviously whatever your gun shoots the best. If you're going to put him on the dinner table, I swear by the CCI SGBs (if you can find em).
Whatever I can hit the fast little suckers with, normally CCI but lately I would shoot any brand I can find because there is none left in my little town.
i like hollow points they seem to put them down a little quicker, just about any will work. Id shoot some of different brands to find what your gun likes
CCI stingers!
Federal .22 Long Rifle hollow point!!!
hollow points for sure
