Possible snipers seen at OSU. Administration says they're not snipers but should be treated like they are. (midwest.social)

They use various soft point rounds (you can't really use hollow points on high velocity rifles). The rounds are basically hollow points with a plastic ballistic tip.

I would not want to be behind someone shot with a .308 fragmenting round or not.

Here is a video showing the sort of penetration at 100 yards (what distance police snipers shoot from)
