DRT is it the Most Accurate Ammo Ever?
Ammo .223 DRT 79 Grain 20 Round Box Powder Core, Lead Free, Accurate and Deadly
This might be it, both in accuracy and terminal ballistics!
This ammo has been hush, hush for over four years. We saw it being tested at the Military Proofing grounds and everyone said, "that is not possible" after they saw the results! The DRT name stands for Dynamic Research Technologies, or as the guys shooting the M24 Sniper Rifles say, "Dead Right There"!
This ammo does the exact opposite of what you would expect. These rounds will shoot through a 2" x 4" but will not shoot through an invader in your home. Here is the best part, these are ideal for crowd control, home defense, or close quarter combat, the bullet will hit the target and dissipate inside the target, killing them instantly without going through and injuring an innocent bystander.
How is that possible?
It is in the core. Totally different then anything on the market, a powder, not a solid lead blob, but a fine powder mixture.
Here is how it works;
If you filled a 55 gallon drum with a zillion number 9 shotgun pellets and then shot it out of some space age rail gun with the round spinning at 160,000 RPM, you would have a very deadly round. That is kind of what is happening but, then enters the dynamics of of the fine powder! When it encounters a solid object such as a 2" x 4" it shoots right through but when it encounters an object denser than itself like a brick wall or concrete or heavy gauge steel, it disintegrates, returning to powder with no ricochet.
The magic occurs on an Organic Target. The fine powder is as fine as talcum powder. When it contacts the organic target, the powder is spinning at such a high rate it instantly disperses, creating a crater in the target resulting in Instant Death. The wounds are typically 5" deep and 5" wide. A full 100% energy dissipation as the bullet totally disappears to invisible dust.
The accuracy comes from two attributes; First is extreme attention to detail in the manufacturing process, much greater than even handloads. Second has to do with the powder core. Solid lead cores are never perfect, they are off center or not symmetrical and when spun at 160,000 rpm, they flight off course and then at 1,000 meters your groups never get much better than 10". With the powder core, the material finds it center when spinning improving the accuracy. Besides, this fine powder is heavier than lead, so a standard weight projectile is smaller offering a lower wind profile and enhanced accuracy.
So guys, this is it.
The most accurate ammo we have ever seen; and the most deadly. We have been asked not to tell stories of this ammo being used in the big sand box, but the stories are getting out and the unheard of results have increased demand for this one of a kind - the only ammo you ever need to own, DRT ammunition.
Has anyone ever heard of this ammo?
It sells for $49.99 for a box of 20 rounds.

I would like to see 400 yard ballistics for that one-[:D]
shoot some gel, gallon jugs. I would
like to see what happens
It was e-mailed to me from a company and I have never heard of this ammo before. I was just wondering if anyone has shot this ammo down range before and what the results were.
I was too, I got to looking at it from a reloading prospective and said "no thanks" I bet in the "Reload Forum" the hidden talent can build it better.[:D] If you reload, (don't recall)

No..I don't reload, but with the way things are looking I problay should.
The Hague Conference of 1899 is where the prohibitions of certain types of ammunition and gaseous weapons come into use. And as an aside, The U.S. is a NON-signatory, we didn't sign or ratify these rules but we adhere to them.
Laws of War :
Declaration on the Use of Bullets Which Expand or Flatten Easily in the Human Body; July 29, 1899
The Undersigned, Plenipotentiaries of the Powers represented at the International Peace Conference at The Hague, duly authorized to that effect by their Governments,
Inspired by the sentiments which found expression in the Declaration of St. Petersburg of the 29th November (11th December), 1868,
Declare as follows:
The Contracting Parties agree to abstain from the use of bullets which expand or flatten easily in the human body, such as bullets with a hard envelope which does not entirely cover the core, or is pierced with incisions.
The present Declaration is only binding for the Contracting Powers in the case of a war between two or more of them.
It shall cease to be binding from the time when, in a war between the Contracting Parties, one of the belligerents is joined by a non-Contracting Power.
The present Declaration shall be ratified as soon as possible.
The ratification shall be deposited at The Hague.
A proces-verbal shall be drawn up on the receipt of each ratification, a copy of which, duly certified, shall be sent through the diplomatic channel to all the Contracting Powers.
The non-Signatory Powers may adhere to the present Declaration. For this purpose they must make their adhesion known to the Contracting Powers by means of a written notification addressed to the Netherlands Government, and by it communicated to all the other Contracting Powers.
In the event of one of the High Contracting Parties denouncing the present Declaration, such denunciation shall not take effect until a year after the notification made in writing to the Netherlands Government, and forthwith communicated by it to all the other Contracting Powers.
This denunciation shall only affect the notifying Power.
In faith of which the Plenipotentiaries have signed the present Declaration, and have affixed their seals thereto.
Done at The Hague the 29th July, 1899, in a single copy, which shall be kept in the archives of the Netherlands Government, and of which copies, duly certified, shall be sent through the diplomatic channel to the Contracting Powers.
I can tell you with pretty much certainty that our military has not adopted such a bullet...at least for anti-personnel uses. I also find the characteristics of this bullet to be 'somewhat unbelievable'.
For the basis of the 1899 Hague Convention and the reasons we came to adhere to it and not sign it, the link below provides some pretty good insight:
http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/lawofwar/hague99/haguemen.htm
It does not go as far as to cover the 1907 Hague convention in which we ascribed to more diligent rules of war. That convention was pretty much a recap of the first but more countries got on board with it.
quote:joshmb1982,
but isnt the good ole usa about the only one to honor the geneva convention?
[{EDIT:} I got caught on that one, Geneva accords pertain more to treatment of people and the Hague rules pertain more to weapons and usage.]
No, 88 countries adhere to the 1899 and 1907 (edit:{Hague})Convention declarations. However, in practice the declarations are subject to interpretation. For example, the reason we use some hollow point/match ammunition instead of FMJ bullets in our sniper rounds. The purpose of that use is for precision of flight not for terminal effect. And, at the ranges normally used the terminal performance is not exacerbated as it would be under normal combat ranges. Other countries use 'interpretation' the same way with various weapons of their own.
I have no intention of writing a comprehensive history paper about the various and interlinking Agreements and Conventions that have been occurring since long before you and I were born. Here is the basic concepts of a couple of them mentioned here:
Geneva Convention of 1864
"One of a series of agreements first formulated at an international convention held in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1864, establishing rules for the treatment of prisoners of war, the sick, and the wounded."
That's as simple and concise that I can subscribe to.
Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907
"Both were attempts by the world powers to codify the Rules or Laws of Land Warfare. During the Convention of 1907, the directives were to extend these rules and create new ones for Warfare at Sea. It is these Conventions where the prohibition of the so-called 'dum-dum' bullets came about."
Since these are also linked to others in history, it's important to read the longer versions and the original text to see and understand the detail that the world powers wanted to project onto the concept of warfare.
