My limited knowledge of hollow points is that they tend to be a little more accurate due to the weight distribution of the bullet, and that some are designed to expand inside the target mass.
I’ve seen hollow point bullets without any longitudinal slits to facilitate expansion and I assume those are strictly for accuracy purposes. But I've also seen hollow points with slits that are only described as target ammunition - I've got about 800 rounds of Geco 9mm like that, that I bought cheap (22 cents a rd.). I don't know if they're labeling it like that for political correctness, or what. I doubt that those slits do anything to enhance accuracy.
Does anybody have any light to shed on this? When I look at these Geco rounds, they look like HP self-defence ammo to me.
