I have a Ruger Redhawk 7inch and love it to death , I recently bought some ammo (not really looking at it /online) , it showed up the other day and it feels funny , it COP 200 gr all copper hollow point , says that makes it environmentally friendly (whatever) , anyway for such a big round its light as a feather and that bullet doesn't look like it could do any damage to anything , I mean the center is hollowed out all right but its like paper thin, I'm thinking unless my target is right in front of me this round wont be doing anything , it would appear that in ten feet it will have mushroomed just on the air velocity alone let alone penetration?
Anyone ever shot these rounds? I plan on shooting this in the next several days ,but would really like to hear from someone who has experience with these copper rounds!!! |

I shoot 200 gr. Hornady XTP in my rifle and they are excellent bullets, but I have no idea what you have. More information, please. |

this the ammo right here , but I got a better deal somewhere else cheaper than dirt
You guys that have the copper bullets ,can you tell how well they shoot , it seems a whole lot lighter without the lead, not sure if that makes a difference or not though |
| Well we'll see how it shoots ,I plan on hitting the range possibly tomorrow , I have alot of testing to do , I am testing about 10 different JHP in 9mm , , plus taking my newly built AR out (swmp lower, cmmg parts kit ,bcm upper, bcm barrel,bcm bcg, M4 ) also testing out my new Caracal C , BUT THESE .44 MAG ROUNDS LOOK TO BE INTERESTING AS WELL! |
