Hollow Point Ammo, Lots of pics!

[Craig0ry]

This last year I seem to find myself collecting different boxes of HP ammo(380, 9mm, .40, .45 358-357 and 44), I see its very popular at this specific time as well. But for me its always been something I found interesting, The technology behind it is just plain cool. Of course in Canada there isn't a whole lot of demand for it with no CC. But some people may be using it in their FX9's, Jard's, storms, ect ect for predator control. Just thought I would post a photo of the different 9mm rounds I've collected, I have some more coming as well. I missed out on a box of the IMI die cut when it was in stock.
Anyone else find this stuff interesting?

Can you label the rounds please?

The imi = fails to expand/not bonded. You didnt miss anything. Only thing I trust is a gdhp!

You bet, from left to right
Hornady Critical Defense Flex tip(zmax), Federal Hyrda-Shok, Winchester SXT, Winchester JHP, Speer gold dot, Hornady XTP, Federal Syntech Defence SJHP, Eldarado Starfire, Remington Golden Sabre black belt, Winchester Black Talon, Sig Sauer V-Crown.

Yea I seen the bad reviews for them, Very disappointing considering they come from IMI which is usually top notch, Love their Nato Spec 9mm. Still wouldn't mind a box for the collection.
My personal preference would probably go to the Winchester SXT's/Black Talons due to the sharp petals they have after expansion. But the Sig V-Crown also looks like a fantastic bullet from the reviews I watched. And of coure GDHP will always be a crowd favorite too!

Haha terrible performers as well but man what lookers! I’ve seen them down south at different stores, but obviously never brought any back, still like to collect a box, performance isn’t key in a collection for me. I think they class them as having AP capability though is why we don’t have them up here.

Fun to collect can be found at shows and ranges something cool to study and compare . Have mine in plastic reloaders boxes 9mm ,10mm and 40mm ,45 acp and 38/357 lots of different types .

Thanks OP for the labeling!
Could you source all the ammo in Canada?

 

[Craig0ry]

All of this I found in Canada, the last few boxes I just got this week were from SFRC which included, the Winchester sxt(4 boxes and I already had 2 at home) the Remington golden Sabre, the federal syntech, and the Sig v crown. The others have been from different stores or the EE.

Thanks Craig. Too bad you dont live closer, I could add an antique round to your collection. Winchester 115gr Silvertip.

Love silvertips! Just about as rare as black talon now, I’ve collected quite a few in the rifle calibers but only 1 in pistol which is in 357. It’s a neat thing to collect up here, would love to add different calibers of black talons to the collection too but they are usually too rich for my blood once you take shipping into account, and of course you have to find them too.

Beauties as well! Haven’t come across a box yet in my travels.

I suggest you obtain a box of those new two piece 9 mm cases. The company name escapes me here, but they are neat....

"predator control"

 

[FreedomIsn'tFree]

Shoot a PM Craig I can add a few more to your collection.

S3 Shell shock, I've got about 20-30 pieces of them, But you need special dies for reloading them. They are near. and If i shot in a place where I could recover my brass easier I would pick up a bunch. They base is steel so a magnet stick to them for easy pick up.
