I still use 40 gr solids. I have lost rabbits with hollow points, the 40 gr nails them to the ground.

That is completely contrary to my experience. I have had and have seen too many animals crawl away to a hole in a tree or in the ground because a solid .22 bullet zipped right thru. There MAY be some meat damage with HP's but you will loose far less game and take your prey much more quickly and cleanly with HP's.

If one brand doesn't work for you try another but I have found that my revolvers and pistols are not brand fussy.

I have yet to see a .22 pistol that will shoot a hunting worthy group with every brand or type of ammo. 'Ya gotta test 'em and see what your gun likes. Some brands may shoot like a shotgun pattern while another will shoot almost a one hole group from the same gun. No fun hunting with a gun you can't hit anything with.
