PoleCat = 0...............Dan = 1

OK, I'll give him a percentage. My clothes are burning in the trash barrel, I am out three hollowpoints and I won't have any friends for a while.

What makes you think the first two bullets hit the target? :Q

I remember the first skunk I killed. It was in a trap on my parent's farm, and a .410 took it out of it's misery.

i came home late one night and there were cats hanging around our house.
i get out of the car & see a black creature in the shadows.
thought it was the black cat and tried to call it over to me.
i started moving in closer and saw a striped tail sticking straight up.
i hauled ass inside.

if i remember, hollow point isnt made to penetrate, but rather burst or break apart once it hits a soft tissue...which kevlar is not.

that close?

lol!

As far as I know from gaming, HP bullets do more damage to unarmored targets, because they are hollow and fragment / explode or something to that affect. Possibly causing a larger exit wound as well? They don't work well on armor because if they explode then they cannot penetrate the armor...

Right. When they expand they present an even larger surface area, which increases the effectiveness of the armor.
