Stefano Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I would like to share your experiences about bullets's rebound: shooting steels and/or toward a rock-backstop what's more dangerous: plated bullets or FMJ ones ?? Usually people thinks that lead (or copper-plated) bullets are much more safe because they are less subjected to rebounds, buy from my own experience I begin to think exactly the opposite ... Shooting towards the same backstop, I've experienced A LOT of rebounds with copper-plated bullets, and a very fiew (or none) with full metal jacketed bullets ... NOTE: I am shooting 9mm minor, and the differences I've verified are between: A - 124grs RN copper-plated bullet (power factor 130) - FASTER B - 147grs RN FMJ bullet (power factor 130) - SLOWER Is it possible that the much more frequent rebounds I've noticed (A-type ammo) are due to the faster speed of the bullet ? Even if the power factor is quite the same of the B-type ammo ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
