About Protected Hollow Point (PHP) Ammunition
These loadings feature rimfire bullets with a protected hollow point cavity designed for reliable expansion while preventing clogging from debris or clothing. Developed by manufacturers like Remington and Winchester for rimfire applications like .22 LR, the Protected Hollow Point bullet incorporates a hollow point cavity with a protective covering or engineered design that ensures consistent expansion initiation upon impact with small game. The PHP design provides enhanced terminal performance compared to solid lead bullets while maintaining reliable expansion characteristics even when encountering light barriers or debris. These types of loadings are well-suited for small game hunting and pest control where reliable expansion, consistent terminal performance, and effective stopping power are essential for humane harvesting of rabbits, squirrels, and similar small game animals.Common Protected Hollow Point (PHP) Calibers
- .22 LR:Arguably one of the most popular calibers in existence, the .22 Long Rifle made its debut in 1887. Introduced a year after the introduction of viable smokeless powder, the .22 Long Rifle quickly took advantage of the benefits of the newer type of propellant. While .22 Short and .22 Long loadings initially used black powder, the smokeless powder utilized by firearms after 1886 made for a more efficient and effective propellant. In a departure from the .22 Long, the .22 Long Rifle is able to reliably function in semi-automatic firearms. Semi-automatic pistols and rifles in .22 Long Rifle are some of the most common firearms owned by shooters in the United States. A firearm in .22 Long Rifle is a “first gun” for many new shooters and is an excellent caliber to learn with.
