They outlawed, and quit making the ammunition that I was using for a while. It was called "The Black Talon" shells. They looked like a regular hollow point cartridge however, when they hit their target and the shell expanded, there were barbs like on a fish hook that "ripped" through the flesh and kept it from exiting your target.



Why were Black Talon bullets banned?




In the U.S. no, they were never illegal by any federal law (all hollow points are illegal for self defense in New Jersey but that's a different matter and has nothing to do specifically with Black Talons). Winchester voluntarily withdrew them from the market due to public misconceptions pending a lawsuit.
