[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2825316, member: 15054"] On this ricochet potential. We shoot at a 25foot tall backstop,, it is a watershed dam. We have targets at 50 yards and the dam is at 100 yards from where we shoot. The only bullet to wizz over the dam in many years of shooting was a lead 295gr powerbelt hollowpoint Not the copper jacketed one. This was shot at the 50 yard target and hit dirt and took a jump and wizzed across the dam. We now move up and the 50 yard is the dam. Not 50 yards from it. I have shot at close targets in dirt and seen my soft lead 45acp skip across the soil many times.. That may not be ricochet but skipping..still not something that needs to happen in an uncontrolled environment. [/QUOTE]
