In my experiences, silvertip ammo expands too quickly to reach the vitals. For varmints they’re awesome, but they blow up the hides on furbearing animals, and often explode on Deer and Elk and fail to reach the vitals.
My experience with silvertip ammo is limited to rifle rounds in .30-06, .308, and .270 Win.

Would love to check these out a a retailer neat me if the retailers could get it. I keep seeing where manufacturers are working overtime to produce products but they never seem to get to retailers. I understand that there is a high demand right now but where is the products? Retailers keep saying they back ordered these products but have no idea when it will come in. I wanted some simple 20 Ga #6 shot shells for rabbit hunting and can’t find it anywhere. Have been looking since last spring/ early summer. Love to hear those beagles running rabbits.

If I was going to use a 22 round for self defense, it would be a stinger or at least a hollow point. A lot of the time they put self defense on the box price goes up and count goes down. Nothing like a 45 hollow point for self defense. For the hunting I like the Hornady SST. most any caliber.

I try not to be the spelling police but it is werewolf or if you remember the classic line “where wolf?” 😉
As to zombies – all that counts is head shots.

That’s what we need….another ammo SKU to further complicate and encumber the ammo production and availability. Some Marketing newbie recent graduate trying to justify their existence in the Department. Hold this “greatest thing since sliced bread” epiphany until you are choking on ammo inventory glutted on the shelves and you can’t sell everything you can produce. Didn’t Forrest Gump already tell you, “Stupid is as stupid does.”

Maybe they are trying to keep their development team employed.

Recent graduates in the Marketing department don’t make new product decisions. This decision would have been approved by Brett Flaugher (56 years old).

It’s unclear from the article whether the new product has been put into production.
