Are these really hollow point? If so why use it for target practice. I'm looking for home defense hollow point for my 556. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

The box says military grade.  Hornady just says they make ammo for all situations.  Besides, in your  home target practice ammo would fill your need.  Humans are fragile.

Hi Kevin and welcome. These are hollow points. It's the price point that suggests they can also be used for target. They will work fine for self/home defense no issue. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

Hi Kevin, yes this is hollow point. You can use HP for target/range shooting. This will work good for home defense also. 
Stay safe & have a great day!

Yes, these rounds are indeed HP's. You can use HP for Target practice, I mean, For carry purposes one should Fire off the HP that they will load in their EDC. But HP, if one can afford it, Can also be used for basic Target practice if they choose to do so.
