Frangible Ammo on hogs - Why or Why Not? - 04/09/15 10:08 PM
I'm embarking upon a new gun project and I discovered some frangible ammunition that has NO JACKET. I'm told by the manufacture that it is a copper/tin mixture and designed to break apart into 3 separate sections and dump all it's energy into the target.
I've hunted with Berger VLD's in the past which do have a jacket and are lethal pills and I've shot varmints with the Barnes varmint grenades which basically explode into countless small pieces. Based on my experiences I would hunt the VLD over a Barnes VG but I am looking to hear your experiences with any type of frangible bullet.
Good or Bad why or why not !?!?!?!
BTW - The bullets I am going to test out come out to 18 cents a piece
