Hollow Points


Two jacketed hollow point .45ACP bullets: the left, is an unfired Federal Hydra-Shok; and the right is a Hydra-Shok bullet I shot from my Glock into water-filled milk cartons. Hollow point bullets are designed to expand, to help incapacitate the target.

I had seen these test done in firearms magazines, and wanted to try it myself. Some friends and I found a private range on the other side of the island that allowed us to shoot objects. So I saved several half-gallon milk cartons, filled them with water, and lined them sideways.
