Handgun Bullet Types

SFHP

Starfire Hollow Point Bullet The Starfire hollow point's impressive performance comes from its unique rib-and-flute cavity design. Upon impact, pressure from incoming fluidic material creates lateral pressure on the ribs, forcing instant, extremely reliable expansion. Ogive is computer engineered to assure that feeding is smooth and positive.

JHP

Jacketed Hollow Point Bullet The exposed lead at the tip of the PMC jacketed hollow point rapidly initiates uniform, controlled expansion that progresses to the depth of the hollow point cavity. Penetration is also controlled for maximum energy transfer to the target, assuring its suitability as a hunting bullet. Excellent accuracy and bullet integrity.

JSP

Jacketed Soft Point Bullet Exposed lead soft point initiates reliable expansion, provides deeper penetration than hollow point bullets. Precisely engineered copper jacket and swaged lead core provides the necessary concentricity and balance required for top-level accuracy.

FMJ

Full Meta Jacket Bullet Lead core is enclosed by a strong metal jacket on this non-expanding, deep-penetrating, general-purpose bullet. Provides smooth, reliable feeding in all types of semi-auto handguns.

LWC

Lead Wadcutter The full wadcutter profile of this solid lead, lubricated bullet cuts clean signature in paper targets for precise scoring. Consistent accuracy results from formation by swaging process, which eliminates balance-destroying voids often found in cast bullets. Excellent choice for competitive shooters.

LSWC

Lead Semi-Wadcutter Solid lead, lubricated bullet with semi-pointed nose. Formed by swaging process with sharp shoulder for clean hole punching in paper targets. Good choice for target or general purpose shooting.

LRN

Lead Round Nose Bullet Solid lead, lubricated bullet with rounded ogive for down-range accuracy. Hard-hitting, economical, general purpose bullet for all revolvers.
