To: Buffalo Head; Marcella

I seem to recall Marcella having basic questions about firearms - so I THINK she meant she was an “expert” on searching websites and seeing that everyone is out of ammo and magazines.

Marcella - I THINK that hollow point bullets are typically for handguns. What you want for effective killing of a deer and such is a “soft-nosed” rifle bullet (rather than a “full metal jacket”). There may be other types or terms that are used - but that is what I am familiar with.

Yes, that is what I meant - my eyes are cross-eyed from checking those gun companies every day.

Hollow points tear things up, including human bodies and I’m not hunting deer. That’s why every place is out of hollow points for rifles - you can find soft-nosed ammo easily.
