    Remember, many ranges will not allow you to shoot HP except for .22. This is due to the methods of bullet stops, some are fine but some are made with chipped rubber behind a rubber plate and HPs eats them up very quickly.

    Thankfully I haven’t had this problem. I mainly go to one range because it’s 10 minutes away and the Mil discount is great on range fees. I will keep this in mind if I ever change it up or move! Thanks

    Curious to know why these aren’t designed for carry ammo?? Thought HP’s were good?

    I think they aren’t designed for expansion like carry ammo HPs. That’s my guess from what I’ve read/heard

    They are not an expanding HP. It is more for accuracy and weight dispersion.
    They are more accurate then standard RN though in most cases.
    It is just the design of the HP and the depth of them that doesn't allow them to expand

    Why make a HP that doesn’t expand?? Not being a wise ass, just trying to learn more about pistol ammo.

    It is to make them more accurate. It disperses the weight differently, and the HP fills with air in flight and makes its own "Bubble" of disturbed air to travel in. Normslly HP bullets are longer and have more bearing surface in the barrel as well, which helps with stability
