Your claimed results are far different than the companies that manufacture or load frangible bulleted ammunition and the federal government law enforcement agencies that train with it and the military that uses it. It seems most probably that you are fabricating a B.S. story to cover ignorance.

And you can kiss a part of my body you would find less than delightfully fragrant.

The experience comes from shooting at the edge of the woods on an old farm area of N Ga.

Friends with old farm lands they are reclaiming with numerous convenient targets.

Outdoor shooting is a lot different than controlled shooting at paper targets in a lane at the range - and riccochets are one area of concern. We shot a good bit of somewhat expensive frangible .223 instead of the cheaper FMJ just to see the difference, and out of curiosity.

We werent doing drills or being all tactiqueer. We were shooting junk in the country, outdoors.

There was no real science to it. We couldnt really tell if it riccocheted less or not.

We could tell that sometimes it didnt penetrate the fibreglass tractor fender or the windshield of the old Mercury sedan. Most times it went right thru the sheet metal of the doors. Didnt seem to do much penetration on the pile of fallen-down house drywall, but it did go thru most of the tin roof.

Maybe you’re a hard-ass operator and you know everything about shooting sports. More power to ya.

I understand that you can spend some real coin for ammo designed better than frangibles for over penetration concerns. We bought the stuff to see, and can report on my experience.

Part of my experience is that regular .223 FMJ penetrates really well, and frangible less so. Same for #8 2-3/4 shot shells instead of magnum zombie buckshot.

So lighten up Francis.

Enjoy your evening.
