There used to be jigs and drill directions to make different 22LR hollow point types and flat meplat heads. I haven't heard of anyone doing this for years. I believe the conclusions was these drills as best adjust the tip of the bullet to have a uniform swages...at best.

I believe, and if you haven't heard of these jigs/drill instructions before, that CCI didn't just discover this meplat shape is better while producing 50,000 variations of their CCI line up.

Fact is, a FMJ in such a small round cross section is going to do the same thing.

"feel" is going to come from weight plus FPS on the box. That is a light 22 bullet. It will feel zippy because it is light.

Interesting read on 22lr drill/tools if you are interested. Haven't heard of it since. https://www.thehighroad.org/index.ph...e-long.134161/
