anyone ever try using hollow points in a Ruger Mark II pistol?
wondering if it will work ok without jamming?
they are considerably cheaper than long rifles.

It should not matter at all.

I used them almost exclusively. There is no problem.

I use them quite a bit(several thousand at least) with no problems.

I have never shot a .22lr through my Moms MKII that wasn't a hollow point. That was about 10,000 rounds ago. The only problem we ever ran into was if you loded the mag all the way, the last round would jam. That (i don't think) was not ammo related.

Hollow point, copper plated, hyper velocity is all I shoot through my Mark II. The only problems I've had was an occasional jam after about 2/3 of the way through a brick. Most likely due to getting a little dirty by then.

We shot 500 of them yesteryear thru my MKII didn't miss a lick.

Every Mark II I've shot will shoot just about anything you put thru it. They don't seem to be very picky.

No problems at all. Usually use Mini-Mag Hp's.

Just ran 1000 through each of my marks 2 and 3 three this weekend CCI mini mags, feds, and remingtons all hollow points. A jam here or there but thats most likely the massive build up from not cleaning between the two days of shooting.
