The purpose of this study was to inspect ballistic match of copper bullet at 4 points by analyzing vertical deviation about shot group of the 5.56 mm common bullets and copper bullets. The 5.56 mm bullet with new copper core material was developed for mitigation of environmental pollution and harmfulness to human body. The results of this study are as follows; using the regression analysis, estimated reference value of ballistic match were 51.6 mm, 64.9 mm, 87.3 mm and 99.6 mm at 25 m, 100 m, 200 m and 250 m range respectively. When analyzing the shooting test data, alternative hypothesis(The vertical deviations are less than the reference value) was adopted as the result of analyzing data using t-test. And the values of data through tool(PRODAS) and standard trajectory equation meet requirements of estimated ballistic match respectively. In conclusion, the level of ballistic match of 5.56 mm copper bullets meets the estimated reference level through regression analysis at 4 points.
