Fiocchi .223 Frangible Round

By Joseph von Benedikt

Part of a new frangible, nontoxic line of cartridges, this 45-grain .223 round is ideal for training--in particular at indoor shooting ranges, close-quarter steel plate shooting and for use by police departments in tactical training scenarios.

Projectiles are SinterFire frangible lead-free bullets, a copper/tin composite.

The unjacketed bullets crumble to dust upon impact with hard surfaces. Muzzle velocity is 3,300 fps. 702-293-6174
