I’ve got a thread in another section about some ammo I was sold as hunting ammo, but which even the manufacturer recommends not to hunt with. It got me to wondering…Why would a long range target bullet thats supposed to be super accurate at long ranges…have a hollow point? Hoping someone can fill me in on the reasoning and/or the physics behind it? Thanks

The hollow point on match ammunition is there to help maintain a minimal meplat (flat point), not for expansion.
