    Frangibles through suppressor?

    I'm thinking about buying some of these 50gr "brown tip" frangible bullets. Looks like they are jacketed.
    Any issues shooting them through my Turbo?
    LOT'S of contradicting info out there. I have an email out to YHM, but don't really expect an answer soon if they are on limited staff.
    Only reason I'm considering this is, I'd like to shoot on my 75 yard range in my back yard safely without chewing up my steel plates.
    Thanks!

    Not a problem assuming none of the tip (sintered) material is breaking off the bullet during feeding.

    I've got roughly 100,000 rounds of them (assuming AA40) through an SDN-6 with no issue other than they foul the mount very badly with powdered tungsten. To the point that I've had to use a dremel and sanding drum to clean it up more than once.

    I’ve used frangibles on my range and they were every bit as hard on my steel as M193. I think it’s the high velocity with subsequent heat transfer that still occurs with frangible that causes all the pockmarks. I just designate certain steel as rifle only and then never use it for close range handgun. I paint rifle targets orange and handgun any color. Angling the targets down and having them loose and not rigid helps too. Another option that works for close range steel with a rifle is 300 blk with heavy bullets. Velocity below 1700ish seems to work although subs are best. To your question, no problems out of a can but I never used that many given my negative experience.
