Federal BallistiClean Reduced Hazard Training 40 S&W Brass 125 Grain 50 Rounds
Frangible ammo is designed to break apart on hard surfaces. It reduces ricochet and splashback, which makes it the top choice for close-range steel target training and indoor ranges. At Gunners Outlet we carry frangible training ammunition from Federal, including RHT (Reduced Hazard Training) .45 ACP and BallistiClean .40 S&W, with the price per round shown on every listing. Order online and we ship fast from our New Hampshire warehouse.
What Is Frangible Ammo?
Frangible bullets are made from compressed metal powders, usually copper and tin, rather than a lead core. When they strike steel or concrete, they disintegrate into fine particles instead of bouncing back.
This makes frangible ammo ideal for shooting steel targets at close range, training in shoot houses and indoor ranges where lead exposure is a concern. Most frangible loads are lead-free.
Federal's RHT and BallistiClean lines are built for this kind of training, with lead-free frangible bullets loaded to feel like duty ammo.
Frangible ammo is not designed for hunting, and its terminal performance in soft targets varies by design. Use it mainly for training and range work.
