They "star out" and "mushroom" in diameter much more easily than conventional hardball ammo, thereby creating a larger area of damage and tearing up more of the soft tissue target. A most effective method of making sure your target goes down and stays that way.
But hollowpoints are usually much more expensive due to increased engineering efforts. It is not simply drilling a hole in the front of a hardball round; it is more involved. To use them for "target practice" is not cost effective and very wasteful.(But this is a govt agency, so no one is accountable and they dont care.)
I have about 500 rounds for my .45, 250 for my .40, 150 for my .357 and 1500 for my .22. Most are hardball, but I do have at least 2 magazines full of the hollowpoints for each firearm for dire needs use.
Whats you point Smithy? Why the hell way in on an issue that has its roots in hand gun violence with some technical goop? Who the fuck cares about the hollow points that you have. We care about your need to have them.
Take it down a notch, that was not necessary.
Thank you for having the Honor, Courage and Integrity to re post.
