frangiable ammo is used to stop richochets, i believe they dissentergrate or turn into small parts once they make contact with a hard surface(i.e. metal). thats basically all i know about frangiable ammo. ive never shot any. i dont think accuracy would be an issue for you since you stated its an indoor range. this is all i could find in a quick search... http://www.ammoman.com/index.htm ........... thats 100rds/$75.00 |
| Frangible usually uses a powdered metal pressed under high heat and pressure to produce the projectile. When it strikes something hard it basically turns to dust and small fragments and dissipates the energy that would otherwise be a ricochet. Most of it is utter crap (underpowered) and has terrible terminal ballistics, but if your like me and only have an indoor range its the only choice. As for where to get it, I'm not sure because my range forces you to use theirs. |

I have shot alot of frangible ammo and for targets it's alright. It shoots good and had been reliable in my AR's & duty pistols. Here are a couple sights about the ammo. http://www.sinterfire.com/ http://www.frangibleammo.com/ I have shot at the Sinterfire range and with the guys in the videos on the websight. I also attended a law enforcement class there by Todd Jerrett. Just don't buy into the "duty use" part of what they say. We shot balistic gel with it and it was not very good. Big, shallow cavities were all we got. The Sinterfire range has several bays cut into a hill and it has alot of shale at the back stop. I picked up handfulls of intact frangible bullets there that never came apart. The bullets work great when they hit the steel targets but alot acted like FMJ when it didn't. |
