hollow point vs FMJ or SP ammo

Big difference is obvious in the .38's but you basically wasted the 45-70 ammo. We used to have a pair of old British made, trapdoor breached 45-70 rifles that easily blew through a stacked railroad tie backstop and then would trench the hillside behind it at least 3-6 ft long. BIG rifles with serious power for sure. Still cool to see ANYTHING get blown up via gunshots, no matter how mundane:D

Yeah, some things you learn by doing it. The 45-70 is the most powerful rifle I have so that's what I went with. As I said after the first shot, shooting the hollow point seemed pointless, but still loved the water explosion.;)
