I stockpile mostly fmj. Yes the hollow point does cause more damage.... But alot of people are under the impression that they won't do the job and stop the bad guy. That is not true at all. Also being able to punch through barriers can be a plus. Idk about everyone else but after I draw and fire once or twice im getting OFF THE X and looking for cover while continuing to fire. FMJ also feeds better. My primary mag is loaded w HP. My secondary mag is FMJ as I'm probably gonna be punching through barriers
Aaannddd you’re just a walking liability waiting to happen. Lol you’re going to stupidly shoot someone past a barrier from over penetration because you’re fantasizing that you’re some SEAL operator taking down bad guys in a fire fight
Enjoy your straight forward approach. I would enjoy your thoughts/vlog regarding the COVID caliber collectors and what they should be practicing...really how they should focus. I am near 65 and not close physically, to what I used to did/do/done. Yet, I still go and toss rounds with a different speed and purpose.
Thanks for the info. You could have been an expert witness in a certain high profile self-defense case that's ongoing where a lot was made about the difference between the two by the prosecution, and nobody really understood.
Big daddy Ken in Ohio here. firstly a good informative video. That said, and I promise you I intend no disrespect or sarcasm, Ive a question and a couple things to say. While we can all agree the potential for over penetration is there with an fmj round, I have yet to see a single documented example of an over penetrating round striking and innocent bystander simply because it was a fmj round. I think it fair to note that many hollow point rounds plug up with material and act as an fmj. But what I have seen is numerous examples of an innocent being hit with an errant shot, that is the shooter missed his intended target and hit something or someone he wasnt shooting at and this can happen with an hp or fmj. I think the fear of fmj ammo is way overblown and I also say it has defensive applications. It stands to reason if fmj is effective in offensive operations with the military it would be effective in defensive situations as well.
The hollows still generally have less mass and inertia but that being said I shot some 380 hollows into a log and then some fmj and the fmj went through but immediately lost all it's energy and was just lying right behind the log on top of the dirt. Not a scientific test but I'd feel equally comfortable hiding behind a pile of firewood from 380 fmj and HP, in an apartment complex I'd maybe opt for HP just to be extra safe from over penetration but I agree it's probably over hyped especially because it doesn't take velocity into account cause standard load fmj will still probably penetrate less than +p HP
Hollow points have their place and purpose but don’t deserve to be labeled the standard for defensive ammunition. If you want consistent performance and reliability regardless of distance, barriers, barrel length, ect.. fmj is still king. tissue damage does not equal lethality and ft/lbs mean absolutely nothing in a vacuum
@@yato329 But that’s not the intention… if they shot and missed you, but was running away from you because they missed and you shot to kill them… the judge and jury may see that the person was trying to escape from the bullet wound in the back and thus, no longer a threat to you making you guilty.
Great informative video! Couldn’t expect less from BDU. I do tons of ballistic gel testing with different loadings. (I’ll be uploading these videos at the start of next year). I’ve known several people to carry ball rounds and have converted a couple of those over to JHPs after I showed them my results. The ones I find that are stuck on carrying ball rounds are prior military because ‘if it worked over there it’ll work over here’. Aside from that; I always recommend Federal HST, Speer Gold Dot, Winchester Ranger-T, and Hornady Critical Duty. In that order. These round are not only proven in labs but on the streets as well. And just because those are the top performing rounds doesn’t mean they’re the best in each caliber. For example, my test on the federal HST showed me that it can’t handle the sheer speed of the .357 Sig. jacket separation in almost each testing(due to the non bonded bullet) which resulted in that round being taken off my preferred carry load list in that caliber. Same with the Non bonded Ranger T in .357 Sig. with that caliber, Gold Dot is the way to go. The hot loading. Not the reduced penetration loading the FAMS utilized. I always remind people, just as you did today, to test your carry rounds in your carry firearm. What works in mine may not work in yours and vise versa.
Thank you very much for this video. I realized that having a .357 Magnum FMJ at home in case the world goes crazy is a bad idea. There could always be an innocent person behind the crook.
Another good thing you could do to help with feeding issues it's polish your feed ramp to a fine finish. I do that to all my handguns and I never have an issue doesn't matter what brand of firearm it is I polish them all even if it comes factory polished I found countless hours re-polishing to make sure it has a smooth entry
Great video explaining the difference between FMJ rounds and HP rounds. Spot on with how different pistols chamber ball ammo and hollow tip ammo. You have to shoot each round through your weapon to see what works. Now, shooting targets at 25yds with a 9mm? That's 75ft. In a self defense scenario, we're talking more like 7yds or 21ft. Again, great video but if you're defeating a target at over 20ft in self defense, good luck in court. Just saying.
I own two 9mm pistols and hollow points are not accurate more than 7-10 yards. I have tried Hornady Critical Defense, Critical Duty, and Winchester jhp at 25 yards and was very inconsistent in each gun.The same guns shoot 6 inch groups at 25 yards with fmj practice ammo
After many years of listening to why this round and not this round, I have also learned through out my life time, is that criminals are species of opportunity! They will almost always wait for their victims to be in secluded places or very low traffic of other humans in order to assault or rob people. They will not hold you up at knife point or with any other weapon in a crowded area or shopping mall. So, that said, why would I really have to worry about over penetration of my ammunition? and hitting an innocent bystander, because their would not be one around. Also! You should never fire a weapon at anyone who has people in his background, that is just not done. You need to know when to stand down or wait for your opportunity to react to an assailant, because if he already has his weapon pointed at you, all you can do is comply and hope you may have an opportunity to draw your weapon and shoot. But, if you make the mistake of trying to go for your weapon, all he has to do is squeeze the trigger and boom your dead. So! I carry two JHP and Two FMJ in that order in all my Magazines, whether it's 380, or 9mm.
How wrong about FMJ rounds all NATO rounds are FMJ and have kill more than ANY other type of projectile shape. I prefer FMJ rounds as they will go through walls if needed without deforming unlike ANY JHP that will deform. Remember not all targets are standing in the open and a well placed bullet is way more important. For home defense especially in a dark house a shotgun with 00 Buck is still the best weapon ask any police or military person like myself. Hell, a 22 round is a very devastating round as it bounces around once inside the target. DO LOTS OF RESEARCH and ask tons of questions!
Most FMJ ammo can seriously injure a "bad guy" who's wearing Level 3 body armor, like James Holmes, the Aurora, CO theater shooter. Even if the round doesn't penetrate the armor, it can still hurt the assailant -- buying "more time" for a crowd of innocent people to flee the area.
Most people forget that even if you're wearing body armor, you still feel the energy of the bullet. A 9mm bullet travels at about 800 mph, and that is a lot of energy to stop over an area smaller than the size of a quarter.
Full metal jacket, penetrating body armor, FMJ, penetrating body armor. I would much rather shoot three or four times creating temporary body cavities with a full metal jacket than having all my hollow points stop in his or her body armor. Go team America
I really really............really miss the old BDU. What happened was it covid that killed your ability to have everything structured the way it was before? I really didn't care how bad the search was I figured out how to use it effectively. I was also perfectly content waiting a really long time to have stuff shipped out, the money I saved was incredible and it was worth it. I haven't placed an order since everything changed
Dictionary of Truth: -Defensive Rounds= Offensive Rounds JHP not designed to increase target damage= JHP designed to cause maximum cutting and bleed target to death.
I'm new to guns/firearms and this was super helpful. Potentially stupid question: do shooting ranges ever have policies about what kind of ammunition you're allowed to practice with?
@@jakes3547 They can't really tell if the ammo is reloaded, and most ranges allow reloads anyways. But especially incendiary/tracer ammo is banned due to fire risk at a lot of ranges. Most indoor ranges ban AP ammo too. Some ranges ban steel cased ammo but not that many.
Safe to cook, yes, as long as you are not putting that metal bullet in the microwave. Safe to eat, maybe, because it depends on how fresh and how clean the pork was before it was shot. Plus, some people do not think that any pork is safe to eat.
You're forgetting about the ballistic coefficient of a hollow point. A vortex created inside the cavity as the hollow point passes through the air it can throw the trajectory off.
124 grain HST can consistently hit a paper plate at 100 yards, I've seen it done with a PCC. Who's going to need better accuracy than that with a handgun. Also, many of the most accurate rifle rouds are hollow point boat tail.
Would FMJ ammo be the best for 22 mag revolver and rifle since 22 mag ammo doesn't expand but FMJ would get good penetration? This is the round I'm most accuate and comfortable shootingt right now,
For the range, I load FMJ. For home defense, the magazine has soft point. I put a wrap of yellow tape around the soft point magazines so I know what the load is without guessing. Soft point wont shoot my neighbor across the street while Hes on the toilet by mistake.
My dad was shot by a German in WW2 in the leg exiting his buttock. It was 124 gr (standard German issue) he had a huge scar. I would not feel defensless using FmJ
point of impact point of aim is the most critical choice witch is why i stay away from hyper ammo, not only is it not necessary and needlessly expensive it tends to change the point of impact to unacceptable levels. I would with out a doubt test my individual pistol or revolver with them until i find the ammo that is most performance consistent in terms of point of impact point of aim. My pistol shoots it's best with regular ol 124gr jhp ammo by sellior and belloit followed by the winchester white box jhp's. I tried civil defense hollow points in my bul armory sas 2 ultalight pistol and the poa/poi changed by nearly a foot, that's no good period, they are nasty and do alot of damage but they are horribly inaccurate in my edc pistol. The federal hst and speer gold dots change the poa/poi by mostly half that but the regular pressure rounds are nearly always within an inch any direction.
Hey there bud, Big Daddy Unlimited I just wanted to ask this quick question: since I have a “ Full-Size 1911” & just wanted to know which is the best for my firearm since it’s a Citadel brand & just want to know which between your answer would be for my firearm, thanks bud.
@@mountainhobo because if you're using Full Metal Jackets in a Self-Defense shooting, while you may hit your intended target, you'll also run the risk of hitting an innocent bystander at the same time. Granted, there's also a similar risk when using Hollow Points, but at the same time, they tend to dump all of their energy upon hitting a fleshy target.
@@DrQuagmire1 What? Are you saying it is better to miss with hollow points because if they hit someone else, they will do less damage? That makes zero sense.
Most of this is presented very well. I would maybe adjust the term "autopsy" Generally that is reserved for the investigation of death on human remains by a pathologist or sometimes coroner. Necropsy would tend to refer to the same process on a non human. In this case it sounds like a dissection- or maybe more specifically a dissection for ballistic analyses. Since you are not investigating any sort of cause of death and it is not human remains- autopsy is really not the right term at all. Otherwise great content!
0bviously not all hollow points are created equal. Most hollow points need to exceed at least 1000fps in order to expand efficiently. Barrel length and bullet weight can be a deciding factor in this. This really should have been mentioned.
So, in the JFK assassination, one bullet went straight through two men. The last shot exploded JFK’s head. Was Oswald using two different types of ammo in his rifle? Or were two different people shooting?
Im new to firearms and my ? Is why doesn't the military use HP instead of FMJ. I am aware that in war time you want to kill as many as possible, but wouldnt JHPs etc?
I'm learning more about these things because im looking forward to being a concealed carrier sooner or later and i will say I'm more of a fan for FMJ when you think about self defense (90-95%) of attackers or enemies are wearing some kind of a cheap retarded pos armor plate. & In my imagination I assume FMJ is great against armor & such against god forbid any kind of fire fight to protect ourselves my guess.
Gotta a lot of simpletons at your company? There isn't a single study showing hollow points are more effective at stopping an attacker than FMJ. Police departments and civilians have been using hollow points for thirty years now, and.....nothing. No data.
Hey all. For me, the only reason i ever considered mixing type ammo, was when in the wild. For bears and such. There is obviously a caliber debate on bears with handguns. Whatever the caliber, I think hitting a bear with through put and stopping ammo is a reasonable argument? Go easy on me please, i cant get non condescending answers from people on this question.
I train with fmj. I know 100% my gun will run with them. Not all guns will run consistently with jhp. If you don't train with jhp I would not recomend you use it.
They should call hollow points insurance bullets, because you don’t really wanna pay for the neighbors kid. Without rule of law, full metal jacket all day long every day long. In this world of lawyers in which we live runaway don’t defend your life don’t shoot to defend your life run away throw your wallet in the air to them and as they catch it turn and run away
The word "autopsy" is used to describe the postmortem examination of a human. The word "necropsy" is used to describe the postmortem examination of a non-human animal.

Necropsy would tend to refer to the same process on a non human. In this case it sounds like a dissection- or maybe more specifically a dissection for ballistic analyses. Since you are not investigating any sort of cause of death and it is not human remains- autopsy is really not the right term at all. Otherwise great content!
0bviously not all hollow points are created equal. Most hollow points need to exceed at least 1000fps in order to expand efficiently. Barrel length and bullet weight can be a deciding factor in this. This really should have been mentioned.
FMI is the way to go hands down
So, in the JFK assassination, one bullet went straight through two men. The last shot exploded JFK’s head.
Was Oswald using two different types of ammo in his rifle? Or were two different people shooting?
That is the age old question isn't it?
Everybody believes 2nd shooter
Both will kill you so will a plain bullet but I get your point. Nice video for folks that don't know. From a disabled veteran
Open an account at big daddy so that you can see they have nothing in stock and you just wasted your money signing up.
EXACTLY 💯
Im new to firearms and my ? Is why doesn't the military use HP instead of FMJ. I am aware that in war time you want to kill as many as possible, but wouldnt JHPs etc?
Because it’s against the geneva convention and is less effective against armored targets
I'm learning more about these things because im looking forward to being a concealed carrier sooner or later and i will say I'm more of a fan for FMJ when you think about self defense (90-95%) of attackers or enemies are wearing some kind of a cheap retarded pos armor plate. & In my imagination I assume FMJ is great against armor & such against god forbid any kind of fire fight to protect ourselves my guess.
For war use FMJ ! FMJ will always cycle !

Great video, u just solved a hell of a conversation for us at work
Gotta a lot of simpletons at your company? There isn't a single study showing hollow points are more effective at stopping an attacker than FMJ. Police departments and civilians have been using hollow points for thirty years now, and.....nothing. No data.
Hey all. For me, the only reason i ever considered mixing type ammo, was when in the wild. For bears and such. There is obviously a caliber debate on bears with handguns. Whatever the caliber, I think hitting a bear with through put and stopping ammo is a reasonable argument? Go easy on me please, i cant get non condescending answers from people on this question.
my ruger security .380 accidentally went through my flat screen the bedroom wall and the front window seal oops!
I train with fmj. I know 100% my gun will run with them. Not all guns will run consistently with jhp. If you don't train with jhp I would not recomend you use it.
Hollows are the way to go they’re safer for everyone else around. Fmj’s can fly though walls, hollows stop dead in the intended target
RIP has entered the chat😂
Went to an inside firing range with my brother and the 9 mm kept jamming. It was the ammo
What do you think about the JHP? Let me know!
Turn to the Lord they’re watching and returning get it together before they return 🙏🏽💕
Never knew that hollow points where actually the more responsible round, they get such a bad reputation. Thanks
@@skrittles1628 you have no idea what u are talking about
They should call hollow points insurance bullets, because you don’t really wanna pay for the neighbors kid. Without rule of law, full metal jacket all day long every day long. In this world of lawyers in which we live runaway don’t defend your life don’t shoot to defend your life run away throw your wallet in the air to them and as they catch it turn and run away
The word "autopsy" is used to describe the postmortem examination of a human.
The word "necropsy" is used to describe the postmortem examination of a non-human animal.
Y'all do a cookout afterward? I hear pork roast!
Isn’t the only difference between a normal bullet and hollow point is that the hollow point expands when it hits something to do more damage???

Why put a jacket on a hollow point at all?
Because the lead is too soft it gets stuck in your barrel and could cause a bore obstruction worst case but generally just a pain clean

Doesn't matter all get you gone That's it

No handgun is a better all around man stopper than a 7 to 8 shot 4 to 6 inch 357 Magnum. Throw in s speed load or 2 although u will never need em
10 mm performs a bit better than 357
