Back to basics: What is Hollow Point Ammo

We all started out with very limited knowledge about all things firearms - and for many here, that seems like a lifetime ago. I remember learning the difference between a hollow point and a full metal jacket when I started carrying. It was eye-opening and exciting to learn about all the different options of ammo!

But like with many topics, once I scratched the surface of different ammunition options I realized how much I didn’t know.

What other topic did you get excited to start learning about only to realize there was so much more to learn than you ever expected?

What distance to zero an AR-15.

Reloading.

Can of worms I don’t even wanna touch.

@Sheepdog556 Reloading allows me to shoot the quantity and quality that I want. Not that hard to make basic ammo but when you get down in the weeds on high performance stuff for long distance it can be a little daunting. Got a bud in Bremerton that would be happy to show you the ropes.

That’d be awesome to get into. Just no time. This whole adulting thing…

For me the last two weeks it’s been this whole parenting of my adult children thing… :rofl:

I was always intrigued by the caliber choices. Thanks to science, this has become easier as most quality ammunition from .380 to .45 are similarly reliable and effective.
