I am heading back to South Dakota later this summer and plan to set aside a little time to do a bit of shooting with my 18" AR and CZ 527 Varmint in .223.
I would like my bullets to break up on impact with the ground to reduce ricochets as much as practical.
I have a good stock of 55 grain Speer Varmint SPs. If I can find a load that groups well, are they reasonably "fragile"?
Are the tipped bullets like Hornady V-Max better at coming apart?
Conventional wisdom used to say that, in general, hollow point bullets ricocheted more than SPs, is that true?
I know the easy answer is to use a 22-250 or 220 Swift, but I own neither.
