firemantj Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Not exactly sure if this is the best place to post this, but I can't think of anywhere else. I have an upcoming match that requires frangible ammo. Does anyone know the best place to get it? So far, what I have found is that it generally runs almost 2 times as much as FMJ's. Any help?

gunguru Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Sorry, but why asking for frangible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemantj Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 The match requires it. I have no clue why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too_Slow Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Sounds like they are going to require the frangible rounds for any steel to me. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first time with this particular requirement. Maybe it has something to do with the fact it is a LEO/Fire competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Here is another option: http://www.graceammo.com/Frangible_Ammo.html Grace ammo is owned by a shooter/LEO who supports many matches as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemantj Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Thanks, I'll have to call and see if he sells anything less than a 1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whistlepig Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 How much you need? Shipping restrictions may make it a waste of time but I have some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemantj Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 I'm honestly not sure, as they have not posted anything close to stage descriptions. I'm hoping about 250 will get me through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueeyedme Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) They are requiring it for the full match? The only time I have shot frangible was in the close quarters shoot houses at Gunsite Academy. Edited March 16, 2012 by blueeyedme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemantj Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 They are requiring it for the full match? The only time I have shot frangible was in the close quarters shoot houses at Gunsite Academy. Yes. It's actually three different matches. There is a low light combative pistol match, a practical shooting match, and a three gun match. None of which are run by any type of rule set that I have ever heard of before.
