Default RE: What are fragmenting bullets to you?

Grouse45

I personally think that a fragmenting bullet is a bullet that blows up at or right after contact.

i think the 'V-max' is a good example of a fragmenting bullet.

I shoot .17 HRM's at peepers they are loaded with a 17 grain Hornady 'V-Max' projectile - @ 2550 fps when the hit they blow up into pieces - very small pieces none of which resembles a bullet.

I would go along with Lee's description - I am shooting a pineapple grenade - you know what that is incorrect also the old pine apple grenade broke up most often uniformly - the new grenades are probably a better description of fragmenting....
