FMJ yaw and upset performance

[Tony Williams]

Thanks for that, Stan. The 6.5mm Scenar performance looks very good to me - I was thinking in terms of yaw starting after no more than 2 inches and turnover being complete within 12 inches.

If the bullet doesn't deform then replicting that performance with an FMJ shouldn't be too difficult. Doing so in a production ball bullet without losing too much of the ballistic coefficient may be more of a challenge.

And then there's the big unknown - the consequences of using copper+steel-cored "green" bullets.
