On the frangible lead-free ammo produced by International Cartridge Co. in PA. .......think it's a copper jacketed "tin" bullet, instead of lead.
It's almost about the same price as the more common rd nose ammo but alot cheaper than the self-defense specific ammo In 45acp they offer 155gr.loads in rd.ns. and hollow point. I was told it was geared specificly for law enforcment purposes. I normally use common 180 gr rd. nose ammo. by Win., Fed., or Rem. but it's next to impossible to get through the local gun stores around my area. The local gun store that's selling it has an indoor range and said it's not apt to ricoshet (sorry about the spelling) in an indoor range setting. Any opinions out there?
