.223 Rem Glasser ammo
« on: March 19, 2003, 06:22:04 PM »
Some forum I read had a question about frangible bullet ammo.  Can't remember where. A couple years ago I picked up a pack of 6 rounds of Glasser .223 ammo - we were having problems with stray dogs.  town had a new, good dog catcher now so the need is gone - and I never did use any of this ammo.

 I have wondered how the accuracy was - they are pretty spendy (about $15.00 for 6 I think) so I hesitated to burn them up.  Now that the problem is gone I decided to try out a few shots.

The load is a 45 gr frangible bullet (blue tip). Tried 3 shots yesterday, 1 at 50 yds and 2 at 100.  I was really impressed by the accuracy.  My rifle was zeroed in for some 52 gr Speer loads at 100 yards.  The 50 yd shot was about 1/2 in high of where the  Speers hit at 50 yds and about 1 inch high at 100. The 2 shots at 100 yds printed less than 1/2 in apart.  I am favorably impressed with their accuracy.  Though the test is admittedly very small.  Thought this might help someone who is interested.  I've done no tests for performance.
