TAM, as usual, is correct. Even if an expanded hollow point did over penetrate it would likely not have enough energy to do serious harm to a bystander. FMJs on the other hand would maintain enough energy to seriously injure or kill a bystander.The Annoyed Man wrote:Hollow points ALWAYS........unless you're willing to accept the consequences of over-penetration.

There are reasons why a hollow point may not expand but there is no reason for a FMJ to expand.
Hollow points.
