The Right Ammo For The Right Purpose
It can be intimidating to stand in front of a shelf full of ammunition at your local gun or sporting goods store for the first time. Follow these guidelines, and you should be able to find the right ammo for your needs. If you have questions, make sure to ask someone who works there for more information.
- Make sure you are buying the right caliber.
- For target shooting, full metal jacket (FMJ) rounds are a good bet.
- FMJ rounds are relatively cheap compared to other kinds of ammo, and are available wherever ammunition is sold.
- For personal defense, there are many choices that perform in a variety of ways.
- Do some research to ensure that the personal defense rounds you buy will do what you want them to do.
- It is important to consider bullet expansion and penetration when you are weighing your personal defense rounds. Remember to think about your target as well as what is behind your target when buying this kind of ammunition.
- For hunting, it is a good idea to find rounds that combine penetrating power with good expansion for the most humane hunting possible.
- Personal defense rounds are not a good fit for hunting, as their fast, large expansion disperses their energy too quickly, severely limiting their ability to penetrate an animal’s thick hide.
You Usually Get What You Pay For
Shooting is not the cheapest hobby, which means it can be tempting to grab large boxes of ammo that seem far less expensive the other boxes on the shelf. While we understand that impulse, the old axiom is true: you usually get what you pay for.
Less expensive ammunition may foul your bore more than other loads, the brass may be reloaded, and you may notice that they are less reliable than other kinds of ammo. Talk to your friends who shoot to find out what kind of luck they have had with low-cost rounds.
