Box of 10 gauge Winchester Shotgun shells for $8.50

Box of 50 silver tip hollow points, various calibers for 10.50$

These are pretty good deals if anyone is planning on hitting the range this weekend and hates paying range prices for ammo.

Hollow point bullets....are they the type that mushrooms when it impacts on a surface?

Yup, they are great for personal defense.

Why would you ever use hollow points at a range?

Because they are cheaper. Who would pay extra for range ammo?

Sounds like you've created your own no-fly zone 'round there.. :)

10 gauge is... insane. I couldnt imagine the kick on that. Local elephants better think twice before messing with a guy amed with a 10 gauge.

Also, sometimes you have to test the reliability of your firearm with hollowtips. Some guns are very picky about what you feed them. :johnwoo2:

Actually they mushroom during flight, before making impact. Most bullets do this; hollow-points just do it better and more consistantly.

Every different round will behave differently when fired from the same gun. Thus when a gun is sighted in, it's only expected to be accurate for the specific round (depending on the manufacturer, type of bullet, size of bullet, etc... ) that was used. If you want to shoot hollowpoints then you should do so both on and off the range.

Double-barrel 10 gauge is actually a rather common gun for hunting duck and geese. They don't kick as much as you'd think, partially because they are quite heavy. Greater mass absorbs more energy.

With slugs? Hell yeah. :fal:

The other thing about a 10 gauge is the size of the barrel. A friend of mine had a 10 gauge with a barrel length of over 40 inches! When I posted about my own personal AA gun I wasn't kidding!

Oh - they only kick if you use the 3 1/2" or 4" mag shells - and even then they usually have an absorber plate to help out. As for me - I'm happy with my Remington left-handed 11-87 Auto.

:D

"this...is...my...BOOMstick!"

What do you mean off the range?
