[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1015942, member: 50867"] Bullet design is much more technical than most shooters realize. Target bullets aren't designed to expand in the same way a hunting bullet of similar design might. Why a hollow point in a target bullet? The reason may be that the bullet is manufactured on the same equipment as the hunting bullet but is of difference design/composition. Truthfully, I don't know the technical answer. I can tell you that the reason the bullet manufacturer makes a distinction between hunting and target bullets is that the target bullet, more often than not, acts very much like a full metal jacketed bullet and causes more wounded game than a propertly selected hunting bullet. This, however, will help explain some of the bullet design considerations: [B][URL="http://www.chuckhawks.com/bullets_beginners.htm"]Bullets for Beginners[/URL][/B] [/QUOTE]
