G2 RIP Ammo

[geoint]

Unless a gang of angry chickens are threatening your life you might want a better bullet.

Hey man. If youre worried about overpenetration in the home, maybe the RIP G2 isn't so bad

At that point go with a 22lr, because that's all the g2 is after the little petals fall off in the first 2 inches.

RIP is a good idea that falls short. The petals are tantamount to jacket separation IMO. Maybe needs more umph? +p+? Fewer, more larger petals, and we might have sufficient penetration with all those pieces. I like the idea of a 5.56 like round out of a pistol, and I think that's what they were trying for. If the fragments and the core went even 12 inches, I'd use it. The tests I've seen deposit the petals no further than 4 inches through demin. Hopefully they, or another company, can get it figured out. I wish I could have .410 pistol in Cali actually, then I'd figure it out for myself.
