[QUOTE="Wyo37, post: 2464659"] I believe you are misinformed. Perhaps you should search for actual state statutes or U.S. federal law. I can tell you no such Statute exists for my state. Hornady TAP ammunition is specifically manufactured for LE. It's designed to fragment (ie expand) and cause large temporary and permanent wound channels. Some departments are going towards bonded rounds for 5.56 for better barrier penetration (they are still designed to expand), however ballistic tip ammunition is widely used in LE. Speer gold dots are pretty much the standard for LE pistol ammunition and they are designed to expand, and do so extremely well. I have never heard of any department using fmj for duty ammunition. It would be a terrible choice for many reasons. Eldm bullets flat out work in cartridges that do not have high muzzle velocities. For short action calibers they work well. Lapua scenar's are another example of a "match" bullet that has killed plenty of animals (I don't have first hand experience with them) [/QUOTE]
