A FMJ is torture .. without hitting any major organs, arteries it tends to enter with a little hole and go straight through, exiting with a little larger hole. Ya’ll likely live with the pain of getting hit.
That is the point of hollow point .. to expand upon impact. Pain is reduced to permanet stillness shortly.
Every weap in my house, garage, car truck and on my person are loaded with Hornady hollow points. Nothing says “good by dirt bag” like a quality round, hollow point that expands as it does its intended work.
FMJ is for hours and hours target practice at the range .... so you know the “gift you are going to give” will travel where you want it at a moments notice.
Oh, you silver-tongued romantic devil you!
hiram, fair enough answer, but perhaps what i should have said was i am surprised these politically correct hypocrits would order hollow pt ammo that inflicts greater damage (and likely death as you pointed out)...the way this govt behaves about terrorists i am surprised they are not using nerf bullets against the really bad guys, and saving the hollow points for conservatives
