there is a lot of 22 projectiles out there, i had bin using nosler 50 gn bt's. these are a sturdier bullet than vmax supposedly with a thicker base to prevent blow up.i also have 50 hornady soft point flat bases, which were about $29 for 100 i'll shoot some different ones and just see what works i guess . i'm not a high volume shooter, so cost isn't as important as accuracy and projectile performance to me
I have other rifles that I intend to shoot more the 222 will be a designated hunting rifle my expectations of a bullet are a little high but kind of a given as i dont want to educate foxes/cats by missing them. If i can find something that i can shoot around a1inch- 1-1/2 @ 200 ill be happy.
