Thread: More fragmentive .22 rounds?

Kinda figured that if they did that the others would as well, you just couldn't see them, must have been over 40 years ago now....I'm getting old apparently

Jackcinda took over 1,000 of .22 trace off me without paying for it

My testing reveled that only a small portion of ricocheted rounds actually 'turn' and whistle as they disappear. When you are using tracers and can see the number of rounds bounce off the ground without hearing them you very quickly realise that far more rounds are heading off into uncontrolled locations than you first thought.
And, wet ground can be just as problematic.

.22 PCP slugs have the same problem.

If you don't want ricochets, go small cal, go light weight, go fast!
