This is probably a good *Rifle* round. I used a pistol, so it did not fragment as intended due to the lower velocities. It did exhibit cavitation and disruption at about 4 inches depth, and i assume the bullets started to tumble or yaw or spin or something after the polymer tips got blown out.
A scene from Deadly Weapons: Firearms & Firepower. This video demonstrates the penetration of many common pistol cartridges such as the .45 ACP, .380 ACP, .32 ACP, .22 LR, .38, .38 Special, .38 Super, 9mm, .357 Magnum, .45 ACP, and the .44 Magnum. The tests also use different variations of the cartridges, such as Glaser Safety Slug, Hollow Point, Full Metal Jacket, and more. They are shot at water jugs covered by a piece of pine wood to simulate bones.
22 CALIBER AIR RIFLE PELLET TEST ~ THE 4 MOST COMMON DESIGNS….. Pointed,round nose,flat nose and hollow point pellets being tested on some nopalito,aka cactus… As the video shows the hollow point pellet expands allot more than the other three,creating a rather large wound channel through the cactus… Unless the game is rather large,most pellets will over penetrate but not the hollow points… They dump the air rifle/pellet energy allot faster than the other 3 kinds and that is why they are so efficient and taking down small game… Thanks for watching… bigtomscience
I fired several different kinds of .22 caliber pellets through my Walther Talon Magnum in order to find the most accurate pellet. All shots were fired at a distance of 25 feet.

A video of my new Benjamin 392 air rifle shooting a .22 cal Beeman Crow-Magnum pellet into two steel cans filled with water. The shot took place from about 20 feet away. Thanks for watching. bigtomscience aka killing4sport
