[quote=Mackay_Sagebrush]I carry and use hard cast.Hollowpoints are notorious for inconsistent performance in shorter barrels. They tend to get clogged up with intermediate material (such as clothing) and give erratic results. Wider meplat hard cast on the other hand does not. It gives rather consistent performance and deep penetration.
There is a very good reason why handgun hunters have used heavy hard cast bullets for a long time. They simply work.
Back when we were seeing a significant amount of riots across the country, with people getting drug out of cars, people running over other people with their cars, etc, as well as the significant increase in shootings in general, I switched from carrying JHPs in my 9mm, and started carrying heavy hardcast bullets. Their ability to punch straight through barriers was a primary reason. 9mm, .40 or .45, in every one, I carry hard cast bullets.
Yea, what he said, and then some......
+ I can't remember the last time I shot any Hollow-Points, other than maybe in my .22......
