Following on from my last post

Hitting a moving target takes a lot of practice & there is no training for it accept for special services.

The cost of commercial ammunition is prohibitive & not accurate. It is designed to feed & fire in the average weapon.

In South Africa I reloaded my own ammunition to suit the particular gun for maximum accuracy.

This also reduced the cost to about 15ag. instead of about 2 shekels per bullet.

The name of the game is accuracy, accuracy, accuracy.
This only comes with practice.

Shooting 50 bullets once a year is worse than useless.

Israel doesn`t allow reloading so people don`t practice

I would like to see the a change to 45 ACP lead only non jacked ammunition & the great hobby of reloading allowed.

9mm hollow point bullets don`t work because the velocity is only 1200fps
reliable expansion only occurs in access of 2000fps
Also the cost is so high that the shooter never practices with them & doesn`t know the point of aim.
