Key Specifications:
- Caliber:
- Common calibers include .22 LR, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and .357 Magnum.
- Caliber indicates the diameter of the bullet and affects compatibility with different firearms.
- Bullet Type:
- Full Metal Jacket (FMJ): Ideal for training and target shooting due to its cost-effectiveness and reduced barrel fouling.
- Hollow Point (HP): Designed for self-defense, expanding upon impact to maximize stopping power and minimize over-penetration.
- Soft Point (SP): Combines penetration with expansion, suitable for hunting and self-defense.
- Bullet Weight:
- Measured in grains (gr), typical weights range from 115 gr to 230 gr for common calibers.
- Heavier bullets generally provide more stopping power, while lighter bullets can offer higher velocity.
- Muzzle Velocity:
- Expressed in feet per second (fps), indicating the speed of the bullet as it exits the barrel.
- Higher velocity enhances accuracy and penetration.
- Muzzle Energy:
- Measured in foot-pounds (ft-lbs), representing the energy transferred from the bullet to the target.
- Higher muzzle energy typically results in greater stopping power.
- Casing Material:
- Brass: Durable and reloadable, preferred by many shooters.
- Steel: Less expensive, non-reloadable, and can be harder on firearms.
- Aluminum: Lightweight and non-reloadable, often used in budget-friendly ammunition.
- Primer Type:
- Boxer: Common in the United States, featuring a single, central flash hole.
- Berdan: More common internationally, with two smaller flash holes, less suitable for reloading.
- Packaging:
- Typically sold in boxes of 20, 50, or 100 rounds, with bulk packaging options available for high-volume shooters.
