Default RE: DRT Frangible Ammo

Holly Smokes! This is what a supposed DRT rep wrote on another site:

"You are correct in that there will be some meat loss. But, (and I know this is not PC) you can do like many of the hunters that are using our ammo are doing and that is make a gut shot. The animal is still down right where you hit him and the wound cavity is contained in the gut area with no damage to harvestable meat. Believe me when I say we have tested this on everything out there from pigs to Elk and Grizzlies. If anyone wishes they can contact me off forum and I can send them pictures of game taken with our ammunition, I will include yardage, caliber and weight of the round with each picture. On a Whitetail vital shot our 150 grain 308 will enter 2 inches and disperse in the next 6 to 8 inches leaving a permanent wound cavity that will be about 4 1/2 inches in diameter and about 8 inches long. One thing I want to mention up front about our ammo, we have the ability to offer custom rounds. By this I mean that because of the nature of our composite we can control the depth of penetration before dispersion byadjusting the thickness of the waffled tin cap. Proportionately, we can control the amount of dispersion by adjusting the mix of the powders. We can take the same 150 grain 308 load and by adjusting the mix of the powders and adjusting the thickness of the tin cap we can have the round penetrate 3 inches and disperse in the next 4-6 inches leaving a wound cavity that would be 3 -4 inches in diameter and only 6 inches in length. So, in essence what we have developed is a round that can be taylored to the specific hunter's needs. For example, with all of our rifle rounds and slight adjustments there is ZERO deflection through glass. We have shown this time and again and have just returned from New Hampshire where we performed a live fire demo for the American Sniper Association on that very capability.
