Regarding use in war, the US ruled JHP to be okay for combat use.

This morning a shooter was using the 175 tipped 30 caliber bullets from his f-class rife at 600 yards. They shot very very well holding half X-ring elevation, no flyers. . He will test them at our 1000 yard practice Monday and ill report back. So far so look’s like a great bullet.

“Generally considered” by whom?

“As you seem to be aware, the US is generally considered to play loose with the rules, so anything is possible”

That’s because the US didn’t ratify the Hague convention, and the Geneva convention doesn’t apply in this case. as it states “weapons that cause unneccessary suffering” oddly enough, a weapon that kills you faster, causes less suffering than a FMJ that leaves you bleeding out on the ground…

we try to follow the spirit of the convention but military neccessity will prevail.

Richard Says “What does this mean for the military contract ammunition given there is not a ruling on plastic tipped bullets under the Geneva and Hague Conventions?”

As you seem to be aware, the US is generally considered to play loose with the rules, so anything is possible. Nevertheless, I seem to remember that one of the of the “lesser” post WWII agreements declares that bullet components must be clearly visible on x-ray inside a wounded soldier. I am sure that adding metal filings or the like to the plastic could be used to skirt that one, if the US decides to do so.

I remember seeing the “22cal 77gr TMK” on the product list at 2014 SHOT Show and when I asked about it, they had to find one guy because no one knew what it was. And from what he told me, it wasn’t even close to release, yet, so I was wondering why the bothered to list it. As an ‘inactive’ Across the Course shooter, I’m eager to try them out.
