Default Lehigh 185g Controlled Fracturing Bullet

The 185g Controlled Fracturing was tested using 50g of Blackhorn powder, and also 80g of Blackhorn powder. In both tests, the performance of the bullet was superlative. Here is a link to the 50g Blackhorn test, followed by a link to the 80g powder test. This might be the bullet i would have my grand daughter shoot, using a small powder charge, because one can know for sure it will work as designed at any speed. Recoil should be quite manageable for a small child.

Keep in mind more bullets failed to work in this test, than succeeded, when the powder charge was only 50g, at only 25 yard.
