New Subsonic Expanding Ammo - "Ripout"

Post by 0uTkAsT »

Can't wait to try some of this. Looks great, expensive but hopefully worth it.

According to G2, the bullets are CNC machined and are “expensive to make.” MSRP is $54.99 for a box of 20 rounds.

For that cost the bullet better field dress, butcher and vacuum pack all of the meat if there is any left. IMO, unless you will be hunting grizzly then it is totally impractical.

Just thought I'd share because it looked impressive. I forgot all about the Lehigh bullets... I'll have to check those out again.

What's with the little "mini explosions" inside the ballistics gel, after most of the projectile has gone through?

My LGS has this in stock but I can't bring myself to cough up the dough.
