Frequently Asked Questions

What makes handgun hunting ammunition different from rifle ammunition?

Handgun hunting ammunition needs to perform exceptionally well because pistol cartridges have less inherent power than rifle cartridges. This means the bullet must be designed to reliably expand and penetrate effectively at lower velocities to ensure a humane harvest.

What HSM ammunition is recommended for hunting deer-sized game with a handgun?

For deer-sized game, HSM's 10mm 180-grain jacketed hollow-point (JHP) ammunition is presented as a suitable option. Testing showed good penetration and expansion, indicating effective performance on medium-sized game.

What type of HSM ammunition should be used for hunting larger game like bears?

When hunting larger, more dangerous game such as bears with a handgun, HSM recommends their hard cast loads. These bullets are designed for maximum penetration, which is crucial for stopping power on bigger animals.

What are the benefits of HSM's Tipping Point ammunition line?

HSM's Tipping Point ammunition features tipped hunting bullets. The polymer tip helps prevent deformation in the magazine under recoil and also contributes to increased ballistic coefficient (BC) and improved expansion upon impact.
