What he said^^^^Happysniper1 said:Most (I can't say ALL, since I do not know all of 'em), but most FMJ ammo is made either for military use or use on the range. It is manufactured within the established SAAMI specs for the caliber, is manufactured in bulk, and is manufactured to perform within the specified limits as defined by SAAMI.
Hollow-point ammo, however, regardless of the manufacturer or caliber, is manufactured to a somewhat higher standard within the SAAMI specs. Among other things, this may (but not always) include faster and/or faster and cleaner burning gunpowders that achieve max chamber pressures faster. This can (but not always) translate to cleaner-firing ammo. One can picture it as being manufactured with better quality control.
Cheers!
