New Federal Punch 22LR 'defense' ammo

[JT]

I'll be interested to see how this ammo actually performs when tested. (I remain skeptable, pending reviews by Paul Harrell, IV8888, Chris Baker, and others.)

Yeah, I did watch 22 plinkster's vid, but I need a meat target. 😁

Buy a ham in the interest of science?

Will do wonders if you get them in the eye.

Look interesting but think I'll stick with CCI Velocitor's.

Wondering if they've upped QC on the priming compound. Seen my fair share of 22 that wouldn't go off unless you rotated it around a little and let the firing pin hit another spot, and some that would never go off (and pulling the bullet later showed basically no compound in the case).

I'll stick with .22 WMR if I'm going to use a .22 for self defense.
