They said target practice, at one point. Why’d they need hollow point bullets?

I guess we need to see if water jugs and watermelons were procured in sufficient quantity, hollow points blow them up pretty good. In other words, I’m not buying ANYTHING they are selling.

Because these days, we the targets might shoot back

Depends on what they’re practicing on...

Because we practice with hollow points.

Federal Law Enforcement trains with HP’s.

I know its dumb. I know its more costly. I know that PD’s use FMJ. I know that the military doesn’t use HP’s. The military is not allowed to under the Geneva Convention.

But, some omniscient individual, a long time ago, decided that in order for a Fed to get used to the feeling of firing HP’s on duty, they should practice with the same ammo as their duty ammo.

I think one of the better questions would be to the manufacturers themselves. Ask them how the deal is being done. Ask them what they’re capable of producing? How much they have delivered? And how much do they plan to deliver?

If the numbers don’t jibe with what Big Sis is saying, then something ain’t kosher. Easily investigated.

Taget Practice was the first excuse they gave. Then when real gun owners noted that you practice with chaep wad-cutters and not expensive hollow-point they changed to this excuse...

So the question still remains - how much do they expect the cost savings to be by buying in bulk? Lets see the figues...

Wait... you DID do calculations beforehand- didn’t you?

And Ammo-makers, which ones of you gave them a bulk discount?

Speak up, lets hear how much they ‘saved’?

Target practice on soft, fleshy targets.
