This video from Brownells Gun Techs Steve Ostrem and Caleb Savant compares and contrasts three common bullet types: hollow points, soft points, and ballistic tips. It explains their design principles and typical applications, highlighting how each type expands on impact for hunting or self-defense purposes. Soft points are noted for good penetration and expansion, often used in hunting. Hollow points are discussed for their energy transfer and reduced over-penetration in handguns for self-defense, with a mention of their use in long-range rifle accuracy. Ballistic tips (polymer-tipped) are presented as streamlined bullets excellent for long-range hunting due to their ballistic coefficients and expansion, and also for self-defense handguns as the tip prevents clogging.
