Interesting. http://www.hornady.com/story.php?s=786http://www.hornady.com/story.php?s=788Hornady has offered plastic tipped 460 S&W ammo since the gun came out. It doesn't shoot well in mine, and they don't offer bullets as components for reloading. https://www.hornady.com/shop/?ps_session=79fe714be067a9fa9b555352f76e3b3e&page=shop%2Fbrowse&category_id=406901c65d24bde69581930e4f958ddc
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?
Immersing oneself in progressive lieberalism is no different than bathing in the sewage of Hell.

Although it works different, the concept is the same as Federal�s EFMJ. Traditional hollow points rely on hydraulic pressure to open up, these cartridges change the expansion to impact expansion. The advantage of this, like with high powered rifle ammunition, is extremely reliable and consistent expansion. The disadvantage is barrier penetration.
A standard hollow point wont (or shouldn�t; usually doesn�t) expand in barriers because there�s no hydraulic pressure pressing the sides of the hollow cavity outward. This keeps the frontal diameter to a minimum and allows maximum expansion. Then when soft tissue is hit, the water in the tissue fills the cavity, and it expands.
For law enforcement, this ammo would be a mistake. But for home defense, it would have the advantage of reduced penetration with maximum expansion.
It�s a good alternative, and it�s nice to see we have even more options. I don�t think I�ll be changing soon. I just wish they made it for .32 H&R Magnum, which just plain doesn�t expand in short barrels.

There are and has been alternatives, costing much less and will even work down to 700 fps, where hollow points don't. Throw in barrier penetration too. Recycle? Yep. Too easy...
