    I use CCI segmented subs in a 22lr, a .25 PCP, and a 17 hornet with frangible projectiles for the various blocks I shoot. Of all of the projectiles, the 17 hornet has the lowest incident of ricochets (0 out of over 200 rounds). The CCI segmented subs have quite a few, and they are really noticeable as the small petals are not aerodynamic and whistle as they fly. Albeit not as far as a near complete 22lr round.

    Looking at all of the recovered rounds I shoot at paper targets with a clay backstop, I can safely say that the hollow points put into .22lr rounds do 3/4 of F' all for making them frangible.
    Shearer and rewa like this.
