OC for Tactical Advantage
But still not hugely effective. Now granted the Army uses ball ammunition but I've seen people take multiple rifle shots and continue to fight. That's why I stress multiple, on target hits so often.
Always. Always multiple hits will be more effective, but that's more to do with tactics than equipment. Still, the amount of energy from a rifle is considerably more effective than handguns. Multiple Slugs or 00 from a 12 gauge is devastating compared to the wounds from multiple handgun hits.
My understanding is the rounds Big Slick was talking about were reloads not the factory ammunition in the OP. I thought the whole point of Frangible ammunition was to reduce the chance of shooting through a wall
Totally right...I screwed up and didn't read that he was talking about a different frangible round in that post.
As far as frangible vs these '"new" open tip frangible. HPR BO wants penetration through hard surfaces, and all the frangible powder to burst the jacket in soft tissue. That's what I saw when I shot through metal, punched a perfect .45 hole through the metal. In fruit, the black powder inside was gone from what fragments of the jacket I could find, with a much larger exit hole.
