^^^This. I'll paper at 3 feet steel not so much. Short answer, I use both steel and paper depending on what I'm doing, sometime together and I don't use frangible ammo.Originally Posted by markm

They had the good ones at Sportmans Warehouse last month. Federal made with the partial jacket. But they're really too expensive for close up stuff. Anything over a buck per round has to be shot at 300 yards or more in my mind.

And that is why I don't use it, the shit is expensive enough with looking for ways to make it more so.

I've been hit in the legs with ricochets (45 acp), and I thought I had been shot. I would encourage you to wear your armor and really good safety glasses.

Board policy mandates I state that I shoot for BCM. I have also done work for 200 or so manufacturers within the firearm community. I am prior service, a full time LEO, firearm instructor, armorer, TL, martial arts instructor, and all around good guy.
I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...

Interesting enough I have found a lot of .45 acp 230 grain hardball bullets intact on the ground underneath steel plates. They looked good enough to reload and shoot again.

Norma has a sale on frangible, about $.48/round.

Damn. $0.48 per round to ruin your barrel? I'd pay the dollar per round to get good frangibles.

Hmm, ok. Care to explain? I don’t have experience with this particular ammo but would like to learn before I buy any.

Yeah. Those compressed copper powder/whatever bullets that don't have a jacket disintegrate and bead blast your throat, barrel and suppressor baffles if shooting suppressed.
The good stuff in the Federal boxes/NT marked, etc. will have a jacket to keep the frangible material intact when the bullet is fired.
