How does shooting the Frangible Bullet differ from conventional bullets?
A. Frangible Bullets are lighter due to their non-lead content. They are therefore longer, lighter and have a longer bearing surface. Tom Shaw was using a 1 in 8-twist barrel. Normally, that barrel won t shoot a 42gr bullet, but it will shoot ours because it is so long. No lead, longer bullet, less weight, better trajectory, you can drive the bullet faster. Since the ballistic coefficient is good, the bullet “flies” well and doesn t drop as much because it s running 30% lighter.
