Frequently Asked Questions

Why are gun owners moving away from traditional hollow points in 2025?

Gun owners are switching from traditional hollow points because newer ammunition technologies offer superior performance. These advancements include better barrier penetration, more consistent expansion, improved reliability in various firearm platforms, and compliance with restrictive state laws.

What are the advantages of solid copper hollow points over traditional JHPs?

Solid copper hollow points provide superior weight retention and barrier consistency, allowing them to penetrate materials like auto glass and steel without fragmenting. Unlike traditional JHPs, they avoid issues with lead core separation or jacket failure upon impact.

How do fluted solid projectiles create damage without expanding?

Fluted solid projectiles use specially machined flutes that channel soft tissue outward at high velocity. This fluid dynamic effect creates a massive permanent and temporary wound cavity, effectively disrupting tissue like a drill bit without relying on traditional expansion.

What is tumble-on-impact (TUI) ammunition and how does it work?

Tumble-on-impact ammunition is designed to destabilize the moment it hits soft tissue. The projectile yaws and rotates end-over-end, shredding internal organs more chaotically than a straight wound channel, offering deep penetration and severe off-axis damage.
