Bob's boattail hollow points in .22 and .25

[DanWho]

Could someone please point me in the right direction? I would like to purchase a sampling of the Bob's boattail in ,22 and .25 so I can see what will perform well and what may have a problem before I spend a whole bunch on molds.

Thank you
Dan

Hi Dan,
If you go to eBay and type in air rifle pellets hollowpoint the .22 will come up and you'll be able to find the .25s also. You'll want to know the diameter though. Because theres a couple different sizes in the molds.
Hope this helps.

Do hollow points stabilize down range as well as domed pellets?

With pellets I'm not certain, but with powder burners lots of target shooting is done using hollow points. I'm interested in hunting and want something that expands when hitting a critter.
im still looking for someone who has a selection of the pellets in .25 cal so I can see if I want to purchase the mold.

In my experience, boattails require a slightly faster twist rate to stabilize them versus flat base bullets. With smaller calibers and lighter weights, the boattail doesn't offer much drag reduction. Mostly, the length of the boattail is what dictates how much faster the barrel's twist rate has to be. It will be interesting to see if a very accurate pellet with a bullet shape can be designed.

I bought a sample of .22 cal you can try. Flat nose and hollow point . Only like 10 or 15 each. I'll send them if you inbox me your address
