Hollow Points


Recommended Posts

hey all

 

I've got some shooting that is pretty close ranges and the trusty accupells are over penetrating,I have brought a pack of the dymanic hollow points and they are a big pellet length ways ,but also they feel a bit rough through my gun when pushing them in with the bolt,they dont fit as easy as the accupells. I took a magazines worth out of the dynamics yesterday and shot 5 doves one after the other at about 10 - 20 yards and killed them all with no sign of over penetration,these pellets hit hard which is what i'm looking for ,but i have heard that rws super hollow point are pretty good? never used them so i'm only going by what someone else says.some of the pellets look an interesting shape but you look at them and they are only in .177 which is annoying!

 

so whats your best hollow point? And i'm shooting an AAs410 so want a half decent pellet to put through it.

If you want a good quality HP you will find H&Ns (Haendler & Natermann) in .22 will do the job without spin tumble or over penertration.

Hey

 

I've tried the matchpell before or vermin pell ,and had good results with them but my gun shop has stopped selling them and i thought that i could do a little more damage with the hollow points.

 

Sean3513,Thanks for the offer ,but i've tried them before,Thanks anyway though :)

 

I'll probably end up buying another tin of them from somewhere.

 

I'm off out this afternoon so i'll see how the dynamics perform when i fire a few more shots, i know one thing though,at nearly 20 quid a box i'll not be buying another lot of them ! I got these cheap at the game fair otherwise i'd not have brought them.

 

I'm taking the camera out with me so if the footage is good enough to put on here then i'll upload it and you can see them in action.

knocking off doves and rats and ferals at the moment i am getting through my tin of accupells at a rate of knots. but i want to try out some of these vermin pells .

 

does anyone know of the cheapest place to get a couple of tins ie one of each accupell and vermin pell becuase i dont have any guns shops close to me (within about 15 miles)?? or is it a case of waiting for the weather to break and whipping off to the shops?

 

i dont want to be out of pellets because not shooting can drive you to polling or so ive heard ;)

 

cheers guys

thanks again, and i have to say despite the sometimes childish spattles the generosity on this section is admirable to say the least.

You threatening with a poll is what made DAVY do it I think :D :D .

 

I did a bit of testing a while back and found out, that the main reason that hollow point pellets don't " over penetrate is because due to their crap aerodynamics they just loose a lot of their initial speed on their way to the target. As far as deformation goes. Try this yourself: take a lump of meat and shoot a domed pellet and a hollow point at it at 20 yards. I'll bet you, once you have picked it out of the lump and have given it a bit of a clean up, you can just stick it back in the gun and have another go.
