Military rounds are always ball ammo, seems to me that they should use a more deadly bullet type then ball.


It's because of the Geneva convention.

I handload hornady XTP in 125 gr for my .38/357 as well as WIN JHP-notched. I like hardballs in .45 but My para-ord likes hydra shock in 230 grain best so I stick to that.

I hand load 168 grain Barnes-x tripple shok for my .30-06 for large game and 150 grain Hormady SST for whitetails and have yet to lose and animal.

Those Barnes x bullets are mean bastards. I wish I could load a belt of them into my GPMG next time I go overseas.
