The open tip match bullet (OTM) is primarily used as a target shooting ammo, hence the word �match� � but what is match ammo? There seems to be a massive debate about this particular term (OTM), because it comes across as a hollow point when it's technically not, and it can cause some confusion. The military can use it because it�s technically not a hollow point, but some hunters can�t because it is a hollow point. This is probably the most controversial term of any bullet currently in use today.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) and other pro-Second Amendment organizations filed a lawsuit today challenging the Illinois law signed by Gov. J.B.

"The Supreme Court already ruled that the Second Amendment protects the right to keep arms that are commonly used by the people,� said John Weber, NRA Illinois state director. "Gov. Pritzker's decision to ignore the court and sign this bill demonstrates a blatant disregard for the rule of law and a willful ignorance of the nightmare he and his anti-gun allies in the statehouse have created with their soft-on-crime policies."
