Some target ammunition for rifles has a hollowpoint shape to provide increased accuracy, however, the term hollow point is most commonly associated with handgun ammunition.
When used in a defense role, hollow point bullets may expand on impact. This transfers more energy to the target, by expanding produces a proportionately larger wound, and increases the likelihood of stopping an attacker.
Yes, assuming you can legally possess ammo.
Yes. Only New Jersey restricts civilian ownership of hollow-point ammunition for self-defense.
9mm Luger. Ball or hollow point.
No, due to the Hague Convention (which predates the Geneva Convention) signatory nations may not use ammunition which makes death inevitable or causes undue suffering. Expanding ammunition (such as hollow points) are held to fall into this category.
There are no state laws in PA which prevent the use or carry of hollow point ammunition. The reason most people can't 'find' a law specifically relating to 'hollow point' is that laws are typically written for items not allowed or legal. Hence, no mention of hollow points. But, in short, yes hollow point ammo is legal in PA. Happy Hunting!
The federal agencies use the same ammo to train as they issue to carry. Jacketed hollow points.
Best would depend on intended use. Federal makes good 30-06 ammo. Soft point for hunting, FMJ for target use.
Yes, no problem.
9mm Luger 115 grain ball for target shooting. JHP (jacketed hollow point) for self/home defence. If you can find itthe XTP bullet performs well in testing. Fiocchi 115 grain XTPHP is good if you can find it.
Yes it can.
Use a hollow point 14g needle. If you need to buy one, please go here www.myspace.com/cheapest_shop_round
Hollow Point bullets have a hollow nose or an hole in the nose of the bullet. This causes the bullet to mushroom into a larger diameter when it hits something. A regular bullet is conical or blunt nose in shape. Some can be pure lead or can be jacketed with a bronze or copper coating.
