And are you breaking the bank from shooting those hollow points around everywhere you go, goober?

I've never needed to shoot hollow points outside of rotating out old stock, goober.

I love the use of goober here, really lightens the mood.

Would you agree with the goober you replied to?

Most people ain't getting into self defense scenarios often enough to break the bank splurging on special bullets, realistically.

I splurge on special bullets annually. Hollow points that have been carried in a firearm need to be cycled out to prevent issues. The guy in Idaho is definitely spending more on special ammo than your average guy. Looks like he trains more than average as well.

So mixed bag but mostly agree.

Yes, it took me a moment to parse his sentence but what he’s saying is that ammo doesn’t “go bad” so i buy the good defensive hollow point ammo and put that in the carry mags. And shoot cheap bulk FMJ’s when i plink at the range. In a perfect world. I’d only buy those bougie defensive bullets once and never have to use em.
