Why won't a 22 long rifle hollowpoint work in a hand gun but does work in a Jager 22 long rifle semi-automatic The bullet head on the hollow point is the smaller of the two and the hand gun will not?

If the round won't fit into the handgun, then it's probably not chambered for long rifle rounds.

What a bullet with a hollow base?
hollow cavity bullet
What makes a bullet a hollow point?
Instead of a pointed tip, the tip of the bullet is a somewhat cone shaped hollow.
Will a Glock shoot hollow tip bullets?
Yes, like other auto-loading firearms the Glock will feed and fire hollowpoint bullets.
Is a hollow tip bullet less lethal than a standard bullet?
"Less lethal" is a very subjective term, however, a hollow point bullet is generally considered to be more effective in regards to stopping an adversary than a round nosed bullet.
Is hollow-point ammunition legal in California?
Yes. of course. Why wouldn't they be? I just received 1000 rounds of 357 hollowpoint slugs for reloading for my Colt Trooper III.
Is a 22 hollow point bullet magnetic?
No. They are a lead bullet with a jacket of copper/ nickel alloy.
What difficulties were involved in loading bullets that were large enough to spin inside a rifle barrel?
In the days of the muzzle loading rifle, the bullet had to be pushed down the barrel. When black powder is burned, it leaves "fouling", or gunk, behind. If a snug fitting bullet was pushed into the fouling, it would stick, and not go down the barrel. Even with a clean barrel, the bullet had to be hammered down the barrel, causing very slow loading times. This was addressed with the creation of the Minie bullet- smaller diameter, with a hollow skirt at the rear. The smaller bullet would fit down the barrel- but on firing, the hollow base expanded, gripping the rifling, causing the bullet to spin on the way out.
How do hollow-point bullets work?
The hollow in the tip of the bullet allows soft tissue to enter into the bullet causing rapid expantion.The hole in the center of the bullet allows for the bullet to expand to a wider diameter upon impact. Thusfore causing greater damage to the targetA hollow point has a pit or hollowed out shape in its tip, generally intended to cause the bullet to expand upon entering a target in order to decrease penetration and disrupt more tissue as it travels through the target. They are also used to control penetration, such as in situations where over penetration could cause collateral damage (such as on an airplane). Jacketed hollow points (JHPs) or plated hollow points are covered in a coating of harder metal to increase bullet strength and to prevent fouling the barrel with lead stripped from the bullet. The term hollow-cavity bullet is used to describe a hollow point where the hollow is unusually large, sometimes dominating the volume of the bullet, and causes extreme expansion or fragmentation on impact.
What the difference between a hollow point and a regular point bullet?
Hollow Point bullets have a hollow nose or an hole in the nose of the bullet. This causes the bullet to mushroom into a larger diameter when it hits something. A regular bullet is conical or blunt nose in shape. Some can be pure lead or can be jacketed with a bronze or copper coating.
A bullet that expands on contact?
I'm guessing you mean a hollow point bullet, which do general expand when they hit something.
Bullet has a lead core enclosed in a jacket and an open cavity at the tip?
Jacketed hollow point.
Can a hollow point bullet penetrate a bullet proof vest?
This depends on the particular caliber, weight, velocity, and construction of the bullet and the "Threat Level" of the body armor. No vest is bullet proof -- the preferred term is body armor.Generally speaking hollow points are much lesslikely to penetrate body armor which will stop non-hollowpoints bullets of the same caliber, weight, and velocity.
