Hollow point expension?
Several months ago I was given information so bizarre that it might be accurate. I would have queried earlier, but I thought I would embarrass myself with naïveté.
Okay, here goes. A significant problem with hollow point ammunition - in my specific case Remington HTR +P 38 Special 158-grain LSWC-HP - is the hollow point clogging with clothing or other material. Expansion does not occur, causing excessive penetration and significantly reducing ability of the bullet to stop the threat.
I was told that filling the "FBI Load's" hollow point with paraffin eliminates clogging, restoring the bullet's expansion while controlling excessive penetration.
I am reluctant to drip hot wax on live ammunition to test the information. So I'm asking: Has anyone tested this concept?
