[QUOTE="DanB, post: 2122518, member: 237"] For general range use you will most often hear full metal jacket. This is a lead slug that is wrapped in a copper jacket. Some will shoot standard lead bullets. Pretty much explains itself. Just a lead slug with no casing. Hollowpoints are in the Self Defense category and generally run much more $$ per round than what you would practice with at the range. The only time you would generally shoot hollow points at the range would be testing it in your gun. Certain guns don't like certain bullet profiles of hollow points. I haven't come across this but I'm sure others have. Some switch out the ammo they carry on a regular basis. Say every six months or annually. Just shoot the old carry ammo and load up new carry ammo. This topic has been hashed out on gun boards almost as much as the Glock vs 1911 debate. In short. use the search function like its your best friend. Or just start going through page after page of posts and read up. You WILL learn something doing it. Trust me. [/QUOTE]
