55 grain to a 40 grain 22.250

<< < (3/3)

Yeah the soft points are designed to continue to expand as they go through and at .22-250 velocity they are probably breaking apart and the possibility of some extreme pelt damage especially if you hit some bone like the shoulder or an opposite side rib.  I would certainly check out the 55gr vmax or ballistic tip.  At 3600fps you would rarely experience a pass through.  And they are known to be very accurate little bullets.

I'm not sure how far you shoot but the heavier bullets are going to better with ballistics and performance beyond that 300yrd mark.

This applies for coyote size stuff.  Smaller varmints can get torn apart pretty good with any .22 centerfire.
