Why can't I find heavy grain FMJ .308 bullets?

as someone mentioned there is a big difference between OTM/HPBT and a true "hollow point" design that's designed to expand.

Sierra specifically does NOT recommend any hunting with their Match King ammo (which is what the military uses for the M118LR/MK316 rounds). as it doesn't expand. They have even come out with a new expanding version of the SMK for hunters.

here's a very informative article about OTM/HPBT ammo specifically as it relates to military usage:

Somebody has been reading way too much internet ballistics Bull crap taking it as the gospel without understanding and in the process way over educated their self. Therefore he has drastically overthunk a hypothetical situation and come up with an answer to a question that doesn't exist using a formula without constant...

It aint what you "know" that's the problem... It's what you think you know that just aint so.

If their was a market for it, and it was a workable design then you can bet one of the big companies if not all of them would make it.
