Why It Matters

Many new shooters assume ammo is ammo. Not true. Range ammo is built for practice cheap, consistent, and not designed for expansion. Hunting ammo is engineered to deliver maximum energy transfer and ethical kills. Using the wrong one can ruin hunts, or worse, wound game.

🧾 Range Ammo (FMJ): Cheap Practice Rounds

• Design: Full Metal Jacket (FMJ), round-nose bullets.

• Purpose: Punch paper, ring steel, train affordably.

• Cost: Much cheaper made to be fired in bulk.

• Limitation: FMJ doesn’t expand, which means poor stopping power. Not ethical for hunting.
