.22 is only 3/1000 away from .223“You’ll blow yer lungs out!”
And that will cut you in two!

I had a .22lr bolt action I sold some time ago.I'm using a Ruger American Rimfire bolt gun most of the time that I am hunting small game and keep my ammo consistent to avoid having to re-sight in.
I'm with you on that. Have to match the round to the purpose. HPs have no advantage for shooting paper and would be a PITA if not feeding in a given gun.

Found this nice vid comparing .22LR HP expansion for this purpose:
Even if they did expand what would be the point? Assuming you are small game hunting (squirrels, rabbits etc) most small game is easily killed with a decently placed shot..Expansion won't make them "deader"..Just my experience but lead round nose are more reliable, more accurate and sub sonic velocities are more consistently accurate than those"hyper velocity truncated things ...I shoot hundreds if not thousands of 22LR every year. It's cheap (ish) practice plus I like to small game hunt. Lately i've been using gemtech subs for hunting. about 900FPS from my internally supressed 10/22. A little pricey but very quiet and they are one shot one kill on squirrels and accurate enough for head shots..
Good shooting, Tex!I get great accuracy out of my 16" MKII suppressed rifle with CCI Suppressors. I can keep twenty rounds inside a quarter sized group at 50yds and they just flat kill if I make a good shot.
I think this was actually 18rds in this group.

If my math is correct the equivalent projectile weight for a man sized target would be about 2 ounces..that's getting shot with a 12 gauge slug....twice..+1. Shot placement. These projectiles are physically huge in size in comparison to the game we taking with them. Think of something of relative size at same velocity striking us. Yes. Shot placement.
