Thread: The Absolute truth according to...

I tried some copper frangible bullets in my Howa heavy barrel varmint 223 that I used to have. Anything under 50gr and many 55gr would usually be close to the same hole at 100m. But the cupper frangibles were worse than the 69gr .....over 4 inches if I went to heavier bullets,,,,shotgun pattern sized 7 inch group with the 53gr coppers....I could not promise a good hit on a goat sized animal at 100m and I was trying to hit rabbits at 250-300m......

I never found out what they were like for actually dropping an animal as I was not prepared to risk wounding one with accuracy that poor....Wont go down that route again....
