Quick Tip: Hollow Point vs Soft Point vs Ballistic Tip Bullets

Brownells Gun Techs Steve Ostrem and Caleb Savant sort out the differences between three popular types of bullets: hollow points, soft points, and ballistic tips. All three are designed to expand on impact with the target, either for hunting or self-defense. A SOFT POINT is a jacketed bullet with an exposed lead tip that encourages expansion, and since they don't open up too drastically, they also penetrate well. They're mostly used on hunting ammunition, and the .30-30 Winchester is the classic example of a highly effective soft-point hunting round with good expansion and excellent penetration. Used mostly in handguns for self-defense, HOLLOW POINTS are designed to transfer a whole LOT of energy into the target, but won't over-penetrate through walls, which could lead to property damage or injury to bystanders. Some long-range match target rifle bullets also have small hollow points because they just tend to be more accurate over long ranges (there's some science involved!). Tipped bullets, polymer-tipped bullets, or BALLISTIC TIPS are fully streamlined bullets with excellent ballistic coefficients, so they travel farther but still expand on impact, making them excellent for long-range hunting. Tipped handgun bullets are used for self-defense. The tip doesn't clog with cloth from clothing and so will still properly expand in the target like a hollow point without over-penetration.
