Frangible Ammo

Frangible ammo is engineered to break apart on impact with hard surfaces, significantly reducing the risk of ricochet and over-penetration. Made from compressed metal powders—typically copper, tin, or zinc—these rounds are ideal for close-quarters training, steel target shooting, and environments where safety is a top priority.

At Raven Rocks Precision, we supply bulk frangible 9mm ammo for reloaders who need safe, consistent performance. Our frangible ammunition cycles reliably in both semi-automatics and revolvers, and is trusted by law enforcement, military trainers, and civilian shooting ranges alike.

Key Features of Frangible Ammo:

• Ricochet-Reducing: Designed to fragment on impact with steel or other hard surfaces, lowering the risk of injury from rebound.
• Lead-Free Options: Many frangible loads are non-toxic and suitable for indoor ranges or environmentally restricted zones.
• Range-Approved: Perfect for controlled settings like shoot houses, shoot/no-shoot simulations, and tactical training drills.
• Cleaner Burn: Frangible rounds typically leave less residue, reducing the need for frequent barrel cleaning.

Performance Notes for Frangible Ammo:

Frangible ammo is not designed for hunting or self-defense, as it lacks the penetration needed for vital-target engagement. It performs best when used in safe, reinforced environments with hard surfaces that will trigger fragmentation. These rounds are not effective on drywall, plywood, or soft targets that don’t provide enough resistance to break apart the projectile.

Reloading Considerations:

• Use verified frangible load data—internal ballistics differ from FMJ or lead projectiles.
• Avoid over-crimping—frangible rounds are structurally more brittle and can crack under excessive force.
• Monitor seating depth carefully—compression can compromise integrity if not properly calibrated.
