[QUOTE="abinok, post: 150604, member: 16"] in terms of hollow point vs solids... ive always thought of it in terms of scale. I think everybody would agree that a bullet from a 308 would be a bad thing to catch with your body. assuming you are 5ft, 10 inches tall, that would mean the bullet is 1:227 of your size. Likewise, a squirrel would be unhappy to catch a 22Rf bullet. Assuming that critter is 8 inches tall that would be 1:35 of its size. In terms of scale, that would be like you being shot with a 1.96 inch bullet... almost 50mm. Do you think you could tell the differance a solid, or a hollow point if you got hit with a 50mm, almost 2 inch diameter bullet? I don't think so either. also, ill bet there is a boreguide that will fit, but it may take a bit of looking to find it. [/QUOTE]
