What points to consider before buying bullets for your gun

Your firearm is effective only till it doesn't run out of bullets. The bullets are the projectiles that your gun needs to hit its target. Hence you need to make sure that the right bullets are reloaded in your firearm.  

Two key types of bullets

1 - Hollow Point Bullets: Hollow point bullets typically have a rounded nose, a hollow cavity in the center and are generally made from soft lead that can expand to accommodate the pressure of being inside the body. This type of bullet is designed specifically for maximum damage and expansion within the body, with less penetration than that of other types. Hollow point bullets most often break up into many pieces upon impact with target tissue and create a bigger wound channel.

2 - Full metal jacket bullets: Though the name implies that they are made of metal, full metal jacket bullets are also sometimes referred to as FMJ bullets. These bullets have a solid metal jacket and contain no point or hollow cavity, so they can penetrate deeper into the body than other types, yet still, be relatively soft. Full metal jackets generally result in less expansion due to the lack of cavities in the tip and set a faster pace during the bullet's penetration.
