shred Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Anybody know why Eric shooots FMJ's? Are JHP's verboten in France or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 I don't think Armscor has a JHP. Also, there must be something about guys named Erik or Eric having a need to load 8 power factor above the minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I don't know about Eric, but just about everybody in Europe shoots plain old FMJs. They're way cheaper. Is there a certain advantage in shooting JHPs?

shred Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 JHP's don't fill your comp up with lead and also smoke less since there's no exposed lead at the base of the bullet. Typically they're somewhat more accurate, but not so's you'd notice in IPSC. In the US, it's maybe $5/1000 more for JHP, but I think they're well worth it, and I had the impression that Eric could 'afford' whatever bullets he wanted..

Flexmoney Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 You can find some SP2 data at Jeff Maass' site: http://home.columbus.rr.com/jmaass/ipscload.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
