What's the point of 22lr hollow points when the bullet is

>What situations is a 22lr hollow point better than a round nose?
When you really want to make sure the round doesn't hurt your target.

Like instead of spanking your kid, shoot him/her with .22lr hp.

Hollow points will bounce around inside your target better than round nose. You get approximately 5 more thrusts per squeeze.

I've seen 22lr expand beautifully in softer mediums. sage

I have seen 22LR hollow points expand in a squirrel, and I have found expanded 22LR hollow points at the base of the berm after it rains. They don't always expand, but it certainly works sometimes. Worst case scenario, they deform easier than FMJ, and the wound will be less symmetric.

This is a good image. I'm not OP but thanks for it.

I might just be spreading Fuddlore here, but I've heard that at least as far as plated bullets go, they're easier to produce for some reason.

Personally I think they mostly exist so ammo companies can save 4 grains of lead per bullet while still charging you the same or more.

plated 22lr bullets I mean, not in general.

Soft lead cannot be used by itself, and must be alloyed harder with higher velocity.
Lead bullets must be lubricated, this can be done many ways but with lead looking bullets a wax like lubricant is used, or polymer coating are used as well as copper jackets or copper plating.
My question is why has nobody made solid copper 22LR, or legit copper jacketed bullets like in 22 mag.

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with bullet stabilization. I know there are equipement that hardcore competitive shooters have to make hollow points out of their cast bullets.
