Anyone shoot BVAC "reduced Riccochet" ammo?

[Dark Mod]

Its like $20 cheaper per 1000 than their regular reloads, but what is "reduced Ricochet"? and why is it cheaper? does it mean its bi-metal cased and i cant shoot it at the range? Someone chime in before i order this stuff

Reduced ricochet probably means frangible. The bullet will sort of disintegrate into tiny pieces upon impact, instead of just deforming and bouncing in another direction.

I called BVAC. It is a frangible round. She wasn't sure if it is magnetic but I would think not. It is 100 grams at 1222 instead of 115 at 1150 for the other stuff. She said email tech@bvac-ammo.com to find out everything.

The description in that link says once fired brass cases so the brass shouldn't be a problem so long as the range allows reloads. I don't have any experience with the "reduced ricochet" ammo though.

I believe frangible bullets contain zinc - which will play hell with people who smelt the recovered range lead.
