Hollow-points illegal???

[L337]

So I encouraged my gf to get her restricted and non-restricted PAL and she had her course today. (YAY!!! My gf is on the road to becoming one of us!!!) The instructor had told the class that hollow-point bullets were illegal to be in possession of. I have used hollow-point bullets at the range many times. As a matter of fact my range was selling Winchester Rangers and Federal HST ammo for the longest time. Can someone help me figure out wtf cuz I'm confused?

maybe you want to go over what all he told her and clear it up with her, the instructor was wrong!

Those who can't do... Teach.

Those who can't teach... Teach the CFSC.

I've gotten the same thing from many seasoned hunters about FMJ's.

Thought for sure that they were illegal... Yeah, that's why they're available to buy everywhere!

They are illegal in many places as specified in their hunting regs for hunting. Not to buy and use for non hunting purposes.

The actual regulation was from Natural Resources Canada, it stated it was illegal to import cartridges intended for use in handguns if they featured hollow-point bullets.

Component HP bullets for reloading were okay to import.
Domestic loading of handgun ammo with HP was okay.
HP ammunition in what are often thought of as handgun calibers was okay to import if there was a sticker on the box that said "For Rifle Use Only" (anybody else remember those?)

Once the ammo was in the country it was perfectly legal to use it in whatever firearm you chose.
