[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2393536, member: 5412"] You can buy the flechetts to reload at Sportsmansguide.com . I will say they were really effective when fired from a 5" howitzer at point blank range. I don't agree this new round is like them. The concept of multiple wound channels is impressive, but the original M-16 that used a 1-12 twist was designed to make the bullet unstable , and the lack of crimp of the copper jacket at the base allowed the bullet to yaw, and get separation from the jacket/lead core creating multiple wound channels as well. Accuracy at any distance with the .55 grain suffered, and the twist was changed to the 1-8 in the early 70's that stabilized the .55 grain FMJ in use at the time. The only thing I see is possible feeding issues with the big HP. [/QUOTE]
