[QUOTE="mln1963, post: 736048, member: 6764"] What about the Federal Expanding Full Metal Jacket bullets? [I]From the Federal site: [/I] An ideal choice for agencies that don't permit hollow point ammunition, this revolutionary barrier-penetrating design combines a scored full metal nose over an internal rubber tip that collapses on impact. It never fills with barrier material and assures expansion on every shot. A lead core at the base maintains weight retention. [B]Also an ideal personal defense option[/B]. [url]http://www.thegunzone.com/efmj.html[/url] [url]http://le.atk.com/general/federalproducts/pistol/tacticalefmj.aspx[/URL] They look like the best of both worlds: nice expansion (less over penetration?) and reliable feeding. They are available in 9mm, 40 S&W and 45 ACP. I saw a test where the 45 ACP expanded to .700 in ballistic gelatin. That is a BIG hole! It seems like they could really be beneficial to the mouse guns that can be picky feeders. If you have to carry hard ball ammo, EFMJ appears to be the way to go if it's available in your caliber.
