Hollow points. And "soft points." Ammo boxes are often marked with abbreviations for those terms, like "JHP" means "jacketed hollow point" or "PSP" might mean "pointed soft-point." Most expanding handgun bullets used for self-defense or law enforcement purposes are hollowpoints. Most rifle bullets made for hunting big game are soft-points. Some hollow-point rifle bullets are actually made for the best possible long-range accuracy and expanding is not really a factor. And many rifle bullets made for small varmints or predators are hollow-pointed too.
