Just curious... But why does Pin shooting with 9mm require Hollowpoints?

This sounds like fun but shooting HP's would be way out of my fun budget.

Looking at the Stat sheets some people tend to use a .22...

They say it's because 9mm ball ammo tends to "come back" whereas the hollowpoints don't.

Personally and everyone else that I have asked about it... .45 acp ball ammo comes back the most.

I'm not sure of the level of strictness they adhere to the rules though, if you know what I mean. ;)

I'll be there tomorrow around 7ish pm. :) :pistols:

You can try out my .22 if you like. Hell, I'll even let you shoot it in the match if you like.

Thank you for the offer. Its not in my budget this month.

Also I'd like to be more comfortable with my gun before I try to do even fun shoots, I've only been shooting a few months now. The only rapid/semi rapid firing I've done is when I took my CPL Class 2 weeks ago.
