Q: Is the bullet expansion that significant with .22 hollow points? Also, does copper jacketing help or hinder for small game?
Thanks.

A: .22LR hollow points will expand a small amount in tissue or other mediums, sometimes approaching .30". The projectile is not copper jacketed, but copper plated - this is an important distinction, because a copper jacket would be much more expensive to produce and also most likely eliminate any chance of expansion at .22LR velocities.
Q: Good deal, however, I'm not sure how long it will take me to go through 4000 rounds. Any ideas on long this .22LR round can be stored?

A: You might be surprised how quickly 22LR ammo goes, given how fun it is to shoot. That said, if you store this ammo properly in a cool, dry place, it will last for many years.
Q: I'm not sure if I can burn through 4000 rounds in a year. How long can these rounds be stored for before losing reliability?

A: Properly stored, this ammo will last for decades.
