[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 490379, member: 24624"] So, I went back and read a little about the DRT ammo that was referenced and I think it's interesting and relevant to LRH. A lot of guys ask about or promote the use of Barnes bullets for LRH. But, I often question that choice considering that the BCs are significantly lower than Berger and they require a higher impact velocity in order to expand. Hence, I feel Berger is a better choice for LRH. If I understand the hype from DRT, they assert that their highly frangible bullets are better still due to their "explosive" nature. I didn't see the BC for the .223. But, they do have a .585 BC listed for their 200gr .308. As other posters have agreed that there are many variables and bullet choice is important, does DRT have the terminal performance and potential to become a player in LRH? Why/why not? -- richard [/QUOTE]
