In NJ for example it is a felony to posses to hollow points (NJSA 2C:39-3(f)) so you will likely face an additional felony if you are ever charged on another gun crime.

The projectile of a piece of ammunition is also used by the feds as an excuse to ban importation if they deem it not suitable for sporting purposes.

That NJ law is for handgun ammo. Do you hunt a lot of game with a handgun? I mean I know people do it, I've just never personally met one.

The classification of something as handgun vs. long arm ammo is extremely soft and discretionary. As soon as one company makes a production handgun that fires a specific cartridge it's enough to get it deemed as handgun ammo.

If someone starts marketing a pistol that fires 180gr 30-06 I’ll have to cancel my plans to commit felonies in New Jersey I guess.

How does that not break your hand?

Even the possession of the hollowpoints would be a felony.
