I greatly admire and respect your dedication to providing people with as much information as possible. As someone who doesn't have much experience with firearms I find your style of presentation refreshing and invaluable, as you provide facts, evidence, and anecdotes while also tactfully allowing me to come to my own conclusions about what is best for me. Also while some people might make fun of your "Shatner-esque" pauses, to me your manner of speaking and your extensive vocabulary feel as though you're making an effort to always be impeccable in your word choices so as not to be misconstrued. Which also reinforces my belief that you're not being overly facetious just to win an argument or make a point. It's doubly impressive as I assume most of your presentations are unscripted.

Thanks for the video. While I appreciate the velocity exercise I think the Silver Tips did exactly what I wanted to see. The distance I would expect to use a .22lr for personal defense to be useful is about 15 yards and probably closer--more like 3 to 10. As many have said more up close and personal. Also, I have seen a gel block comparison of .22lr defense ammo by "Buffalo's Outdoors" channel. In that comparison the wound track caused by the Silver Tip was very impressive, as it was also on the "Pat RMG" channel. Furthermore, one of the cardinal rules of defending yourself is know where else the round may end up beyond the intended target. What I took away from both your and the other reviewers exercises was the SilverTip velocity did take it somewhat less in distance/penetration but it segmented and did desirable damage in the "aggressor". So, I think its "intended use case" as I have described makes it at the top of my list for probably use. I might also point out that you confirmed its segmenting damage potential in your hand. It was good to see that all those brands in your exercise were also potentials. Again, I am sure we all very much appreciate your variety of educational and informational videos.

I was sitting here battling depression, as one does at night, and I saw this. It has nothing to do with my problems and provides a nice distraction. Great timing. :) Seriously, it helps stomp down the bad feelings to have quality presentations like this to watch. Thank you for making videos. Edit: Thank you to everyone who replied.

You're doing good things Paul, good things...

Paul Harrell folds laundry! Like, share and watch

As a handloader, I know that one can reduce muzzle flash and blast by loading a type (generally "flash-suppressed") and quantity of powder which will be more completely consumed in a short barrel, and ensure expansion of the projectile by choosing one fragile or soft enough to upset at low velocities. Generally that is what manufacturers mean by "optimized for short barrels/handguns". As to velocity, the fastest round from a long barrel will be the fastest from a short one...

@Johnny.Fedora

2 жыл бұрын

Interestingly, the Stingers gained about 30% speed from the shortest barrel (LCP) to the longest (10/22). The other three gained very close to 25%. I was surprised it was that consistent, but clearly, you're not. :)

From the time I was a teenager in the 80,s I've always used Stingers for hunting any small game. Squirrels, rabbits.frogs, turtles, even quail and head shots on turkeys. Very accurate in my old Remington bolt action at the time. For plinking we just always bought the cheap boxes of thunderbolt at Wal-Mart for .50 cents a box. But there is a huge difference in the two. Love shooting 22lr. Now all my grandkids have 22lr,s and we still have a blast. I should have bought them single shots instead of Ruger 10/22 with 25 rnd mags. They can go through a bucket of bullets in a day.

@Craig Robertson I’ve only seen a couple and that was over at Buffalo Outdoors IIRC. I believe Silver Tips and Yellow Jackets he tested were the only ones that had expansion in short barrels but Stingers otherwise did best. For me it’s Stingers all the way for hunting, but usually shoot them out of rifles or 6”+ pistol barrels. I did used to like the YJs also as they did better out of the 4” Ruger Mark II we had years ago. Bigger cavity in YJ seemed to open up when nothing else did on rabbits out of that short barrel. I also like anything with the truncated cone shape in .22 autos as they feed better than round nose in everything I have. Both loads are good in that regard in my experience.

In theory, lower air density would increase velocities especially at range but some even at the muzzle.

I have seen them at Academy for 9.99 relatively recently. Also pretty commonly available on CCI's website but they get you on shipping unless you spend 100.

@@rob6850 yeah my local shop has them and they were only $10 a box I think so I snagged some

It is just disappointrg how the ammunition manufacturers are so cynical about their customers → put a fancy name on the box, make an outrageous claim (e.g., optimized for zombie werewolf vampires), jack up the price by 2 or 3 times, and then wait for the rubes to line up. Despicable! Thanks for another honest review. Maranatha!

Ty Paul for all your videos your the best. God bless you and your family your a national treasure. You have the most educational videos on youtube and you helped me alot.

Great review as always.

Winchester just about always exaggerates their ammo velocities. Their definition of 'optimized for handguns' means that it likely has less flash and the bullet fully performs out of a handgun.

So true. I picked up a box of stingers which I gave to my daughter for her 22 pistol. It has a short barrel, but by Paul's test, they are the fastest, which, I hope means better penetration. It's all her little hands will handle, and hopefully more than enough to convince any bad people to run, or go down.

On sale means you found some and probably at double the price 😁

We dug out a brick of Remington yellow box 22lr from the ammo can stash from dad's old gunshop he closed down in 1982. We went to the range to test a few new S+W ar15-22's and a tx22. Amazingly, it all went bang and made holes in the paper right where we were aiming. What I think is, there is a recipe for 22lr that is very hard to deviate from, because there are so many platforms to shoot from the manufacturers are very limited as to what will work as far as projectile weight, amount of power and it's burn rate to effectively cycle in auto loaders and also work in manual loaders. So basically we have relatively small variations in total energy across the board. What do you think?

Thanks Paul. As always great info.

I believe the "optimized for handguns" marketing more refers to the performance threshold of the segments, similar to how your hollowpoint expansion threshold was explained, rather than velocity or pressures out of pistol barrels.

@PetuniaIii-pd1ww

Yeah, I think Paul kinda glossed over the segmenting aspect of the silvertips...i've watched a couple videos of the round shot into gel, and if the same result was achieved in the meat target I wish he had pointed it out, or if it didn't segment...

@@ragnarlothbrok9133 That is not necessarily true for segmenting/fragmenting ammunition. I did some extra research on silver tips and there is another youtuber who tested with a 16 inch barrel and it performed similarly, but with deeper penetration. Hollowpoints might get worse penetration when used at higher velocities, but this does not necessarily apply to this projectile.
