Hollowpoint bullets will cycle throught both my Marlin 1894 and Rossi '92 copy, both guns are .44 Rem Mag. These guns have digested every factory JHP bullet without any problems. I also use Lyman Devastator cast hollowpoints, these will cycle fine too but sometimes hang up in the Marlin when chambering causing the mouth of the hollopoint to deform slightly, this can be resolved by loading the bullets in .44 Special cases.
As I understand it, only law enforcment personnel are authorized to carry weapons loaded with hollow point ammunition. The same for New Jersey and probably other states. I know of no law that says you can't buy or have hollow point bullets as a non enforcement person. But, as said, non lawenforcement personnel cannot carry a weapon loaded with hollow point bullets. Gun stores sell hollow point ammo. Therefore, you can buy hollow point ammo to shoot on a range. If hollow point ammo was illegal gun stores could not sell it....... Hollow point ammo is illegal only in New Jersey, and even then, only illegal for certain applications (mainly, weapons carried outside your home). Hollow point ammo is legal in all other states.
MOST states permit hollow point handgun ammo. New Jersey is one that prohibits carrying a handgun loaded with HP.
Yes.
As far as I know, New Jersey is the only state that restricts hollow point ammo.
As far as I know, the only state that has any regulations prohibiting hollow point ammo is New Jersey, but you should check the state statutes to be sure.
I'd stay with standard velocity ammo which it was designed for.
Yes, assuming you can legally possess ammo.
JHP means Jacketed Hollow Point. A copper alloy over a lead (usually) core, with a hollow point for dependable expansion.
Most gun dealers will carry or order it for you.
Yes, assuming you can otherwise legally possess ammo.
