Had a few backyard trials with my new PT22. Whenever I tried to test the penetration of the 22lr rounds in say a phone book or thelike, the depth of entry was quite hard to tell because the bullets tend to shatter and don't drill a clear whole, making it hard to tell how many layers were actually penetrated. I didn't expect a lot out of such a short barrel, still I was surprised it didn't even penetrated mild sheet metal hardly thicker than tin can.

Apart from that, it would be easier to collect bullets rather than fragments. Thus, I wondered whether there is .22lr ammo with other than just lead bullets? I'm well aware that there are no actual FMJ rounds, but anything other than soft lead would be an improvement...
