A solid copper bullet offers multiple tactical advantages. It cannot deposit lead fouling in rifling, so it conserves a firearm’s accuracy. Its weight is evenly distributed, so it enhances accuracy even further. And because copper is less dense than lead, this round’s SCHP weighs a mere 165 grains. Ignition produces a fast 1,148 fps muzzle velocity (6” test barrel) and a flat and easy-to-aim trajectory, but it also produces less felt recoil in the process.
The SCHP doesn’t flatten down during penetration. Instead it erects five rectangular petals, with two corners apiece that deal massive trauma to surrounding soft tissues. This is a bullet which cannot undergo core/jacket separation, and resilient copper is poised to retain all of its weight or very close to it. Expect consistent and highly effective penetration depth as the result!
