Can you use hollow point .22LR with this target, some say you need to use a round point?

I have only used hollow point .22LR with this. I have not had any problems doing so.

Hollow points are fine. I did dent it up pretty good with 22 mag - don't recommend !

I've had no issues using hollow points. The stand has held up just fine. Even tossed some .32 rounds at it. Well built.

I have shot these targets for some time and they seem to be fairly tough. To answer your question more definitively, one would have to know how much ENERGY your gun is delivering down-range. The caliber is irrelevant. So, my .22 delivers 22 ft/lbs of energy at the muzzle and the target handles that with ease (with the understanding that you're going to have to touch up the paint fairly regularly). If your gun isn't too much more powerful than that, it's very likely that you'll be fine shooting at the target. My gut suggests that you'll be fine at even significantly higher energy levels, but that's just a guess. I have shot these targets for some time and they seem to be fairly tough.

I use Crossman hollow point .177 pellets. I'm not sure what "name" they go by. They come in a round tin container, about 2 1/2" in diameter and are inexpensive on line. They shoot consistent in my rifle.

I like the rounded or pointed pellets. I've never used hollow pointed; I've heard they aren't very accurate. I just use the cheap crossman pointed

The target itself looks about a 1/4 inch steel plate and will spin around (if shot with a big round 45acp or 357sig) and the larger heavier portion will always end up at the bottom, a 22lr barely moves it- try to avoid blasting it with 7.62x39 it will destroy the target and posts all together-

Yes, you would use the .308, 30-30, .30-06, .300, .303 caliber, 7.62mm... I think the part number is #24015..

The information provided with the kit says "Yes" and mentions using the .25 brush. I am not familiar with your caliber but assume you do not have a limited sized breach, which was my problem with the .22 brush that came with the kit.

any .22 pellet that I have tried from Pyrimidair which sells pellets in the USA , have fired. Pyrimidair also explains somewhere on their site that .22 cal pellets are different size from .22 cartirdes in rifles, the difference is in the 3rd and 4th decimal place. ie .2214 or something like that. I am confident that any of the .22 pellet ammo found on amazon will fire with this gun. PS the gun comes coated in oil which you will have to clean off then apply the pellet gun oil that is silicon based.

Like the previous answerer I have also used this on rifles of larger caliber than .22. I'm certain it will be fine.

By far the Crossman LPH .22 cal hollow points. The consistent accuracy makes the extra cost so worth it.

NO, it is specifically calibrated for .223 round. The marking would no align with another caliber.

I would use a pointed pellet. Try different brands to find the one your gun likes the best, the same way you would with any rim or center fire rifle.

I would recommend using the .22 Trap for what it was designed to do. I realize that there are built in safety parameters regarding product penetration, but why risk it? It is best to be safe. Plus save some money on the basic .22 LR ammo. Ron E.

In my opinion use .22 cal they are more accurate and are devastating to small game.

Yes, assuming that your shotgun has a picatinny rail. Although, you will need to use Loctite for anything larger than 22lr.

No. I made the mistake of purchasing this for my .22 as well. This product is made for a air soft rifle. My .22 just chewed this target up.

yes. and be careful, they sent me the one for a slightly smaller ammo and it would not work well with 223. mine also jammed and I traded it with the correct one which does work better but jams also.
