For many years I used HPs in the 22LR for all of my shooting, then started shooting small bore silhouette, rifle and handgun. I noticed I was loosing rams, so I started testing. What I found was that the HP ammo has just slightly higher velocity but gives up 10% of the bullet weight for the hollow point, 36 VS 40 grains. The energy loss at 50-100 yards simply can not be made up. So, now I use solids for every application.
Best,
Ed
