Re: Zero 130 gr. FMJ Question

Thank you very much! I do understand enjoying shooting reactive targets,I like to shoot at steel plates at 100 yds,that is as long as the range allows.
I have used 2400 and 296 and if I can find some I will try the Lil'Gun.

I can't say for sure about the 30mm GE gun but I do know that the 20mm gun fires its projectiles in a straight line.You do get the normal dispersion of a typical cartridge producing a "group" at various ranges.I got to spend a lot of time on the 20mm version and have seen the weapon fired ...

Copper metal is also anti fungal and antimicrobial,something that is still being studied and that few doctors know about.If you are in an area with bacterial infections you are better off using a piece of copper in your pocket as a hand sanitizer than some of the washes used for the same thing.
