As long as you follow rated caliber, velocity, and distance guidelines, you can use lead or jacketed bullet ammunition too. Just don't use steel-core or penetrating ammo. When shooting steel, you want to avoid nicking or denting the steel.

Consider the reality - even a light hammer or striker spring can cause failure to fire. Inertial pullers don't contact the primer in any way. They're made from plastics to eliminate the opportunity to create sparks to ignite the exposed powder once pulled.

FMJ rounds are more likely to overpenetrate and wound the animal as well as present a danger to whomever or whatever lies beyond. So yes, there are specific rounds made for hunting. They will have a soft point or a hollow point. Do not use an FMJ round for taking game as it is most likely illegal and also unethical.

The term "BB gun" is often incorrectly used to describe a pellet gun, which fires non-spherical projectiles. Although in many cases steel BBs can be fired from a pellet gun, the reverse situation is not true: pellets usually cannot be fired from a gun specifically designed for BBs.

SteveC New Member. Yes FMJ can splatter you. USPSA requires a minimum of 23 feet from a steel target. You can reduce the potential by the positioning and angle of the target but you can still get nicked.

In Emerald, you can only find them in the 1st and 2nd basements of Victory Road, but they're pretty rare.

If you have trouble seeing the front sight to the point it is difficult to tell if it is in the notch of the rear sight or on the target, then yes it is definitely worth it. If you can still reliably do head shots at 30 yards with steel sights then I would say no, it's not worth the cost.

+P is fine in a XDS. +P+ has no standard rating so I doubt Springfield will say it's ok to shoot, but you can always call them and ask.

Not long after this, the Hague Convention of 1899 made it illegal to use bullets that easily expand or flatten inside the body. ... Many shooters wonder if full metal jacket bullets are illegal.

The reason the military uses FMJ bullets is that FMJ are more durable and reliable in a combat environment. Military ammo is stored for long periods of time, bounced around in shipment, subject to cold, moisture, heat, dirt, sweat, etc. on the battlefield.

Range ammo is generally fmj/steel cased ammo, defensive is generally hollow points. Most guns stores will have both. ... The FMJ style of bullet is the cheapest to make so people use that on the range. Defense ammo usually comes in boxes of 20 and will probably be about 2-5 times more expensive per round.
