These are what I use in revolvers and break-open arms, long and short. They throw skirted pellets and round balls and combinations thereof. They are scarce and hard to find but I buy a box or two whenever in stock.

Nigh-on impossible to load in other types of repeating arms due to the Inaccessibility of the chamber.....hard to get the pellet and blank down in there on most rimfire guns. A skirted pellet without a round ball following can leave the skirt behind on firing. When this happens a twist of a cleaning brush usually removes the ring of lead. Subsequent attempts are with the skirt forward. Heck of a hollowpoint !

.22 balls.

.177 balls used behind skirted .22s to keep pellet from separating.....

The .22 round balls can be too small and roll on through the cylinder. A tiny wad of paper first will keep ball from rolling out. A spent soda straw sheath is perfect for this application and one is usually good for two cylinder fulls. Toilet paper and tufts of cotton work as wadding as well. Keep in mind the fire hazard of the spent wadding
