Using this with a tiny two-shot derringer that I carry in a cellphone holster (it just fits!) Wanted the impact shock of hollow points and this was the only thing I could find in .22 magnum. Works fine!

This is the original ammunition that convinced me that I needed a .22 WMR way back in the '60's. It isn't the hottest stuff on the market today, but very near impossible to find locally over the counter and it does everything that I need a .22 WMR cartridge to do. If I need the faster 30 grain tipped .22 Magnum ammo, Ammo To Go has that too. My local sporting goods stores do not stock the specialty ammunition that I need for my .221 Fireball, .300 Savage or 7mm-08 so I have been thankful that I can order it through Ammo To Go.
