Veral,a question...

The picture on the facing page, 119 was supposed to show the hollowpoint but it isn't clear enough to see.  That SWC bullet  was sectioned back to the shoulder.  The 60 deg HP is wide, leaving almost a sharp edge at the edge of the bullets meplat.   --  No other HP form will expand as easily, or at as low a velocity inpact,  while forming a strong high weight retaining mushroom with high velocity impact.

In the original printing this HP showed clearly, but some detail was lost in the reprinting.  Sorry
