Several years ago in a Galaxy far, far away (A Galaxy 500 actually) I got interested in lighter bullets for the 45. Started shopping around. Stumbled on " FRANGIBLE BULLETS." Made from old recycled pennies I think. No lead at all. Finger safe. Normal 45 ACP Ball size bullet weighed about 145 - 150Gr. No cannelure and no crimp groove. Intended to be loaded with a taper crimp for auto loaders and primarily for law enforcement as when they hit a solid object, the Frangible bullets ..... Franged and disappeared in a puff of coper dust. Poof. The perfect solution for those idiot critics of CAS. EXCEPT:
NO CRIMP groove. If one were to try and crimp them, they just crumbled away. Same same if you managed to load them in a tube magazine. Bullets recoiling against one another caused them to Frange. No Bueno. There ended my inquiry into the suitability of Frangible Bullets for CAS
Understanding, my short dissertation has nothing what so ever to do with the OP. Almost kinda sorta related but maybe not quite. So , should one elect to ignore this rambling nattering naboberie and just continue on elsewhere, the author won't be at all annoyed. Nor Upset. A little disturbed, but that has nothing to do with this witty and informative blurb. So feel quite free to skip it and carry on to something much more interesting. Like maybe Cupcakes. Chocolate Cupcakes. Chocolate Cupcakes with Dark Chocolate Frosting. And a cherry on top. Sort of. Bye.
