The EMCON line has loads for the 9mm, 40 S&W, 45 Auto and 300 Blackout. Ammo in the sound suppressor-oriented EMCON line uses either Hornady or Berry’s handgun bullets.

Made in the USA, these bullets are all plated copper, not copper jacketed. T at means the base of the bullet has no exposed lead. As the car- tridge is fi red, the burning gasses can atomize the exposed lead base on a typical FMJ (full-metal jacket) bullet. T at does not happen on a TMJ bullet. With this bullet design, one source of air- borne lead or lead contamination is eliminated. Berry’s makes 50 styles of fully plated bul- lets. Plated bullets start out as lead wire, cut and swaged to the correct shape and diameter. T ey are then electro-plated with a thick layer of pure copper. T e bullets are then resized to the precise diameter. Berry’s also makes a variety of plated hollowpoint bullets, plated rifl e bullets, jacketed
rifl e bullets, and even hard-cast handgun bullets. T e ammo in the JHP line uses Hornady XTP jacketed hollowpoint bullets. T e Made in the USA, Hornady XTP has proven itself for decades in two areas. First, reliable expansion with plenty of penetration. T ey may not always mushroom to the diameter of some other JHP bullets, but the XTP always penetrates deeply. T ey never under-penetrate. Second, the Hor- nady XTP has proven to be more accurate than the average JHP in every caliber it is loaded.
Hunting and Match Ammo T e ammo in the HPR Rifl e line uses a variety of Hunting and Match hollowpoints, softpoints
