5.56 Frangible as HD ammo?

Wow! FMJBT over the Vmax. After that
endorsement of the Vmax at 400yds, does
that mean the Vmax at close range, say
less than 10 yards, is not as effective as at
long range? So, for example, that at what is effectively muzzle velocity, it is moving too fast to deform in time to do damage, as done folks note as a weakness of the
855 round?

I believe there are YouTube videos out there demonstrating those options in ballistic gel, etc... Guess I will have to watch a few...and, then maybe buy of coupla boxes of each and give 'em a try.

For HD, I'd go FMJBT or VMax. I prefer the FMJBT for HD, due to the ballistics and how it will fragment and tumble after it enters the body. The FMJBT will do more damage than a HP might. When you have multiple wound tracts, it doesn't take much to bleed out.

Well! That puts a real fine point on it,
