Fiocchi .223 Remington 45-grain Frangible ammunition (part no. 223FRANG) is purpose-built for steel-target and close-quarters training where a standard FMJ bullet would be a liability. Fiocchi presses this bullet from compressed copper and tin powder rather than a solid lead core, so it disintegrates into fine particles on impact instead of ricocheting or over-penetrating a steel plate. That construction makes it a favorite for indoor ranges, tactical training, and any drill run at distances where a normal bullet would send fragments back toward the shooter. Packed 50 rounds to the box in reloadable brass, this is rifle ammunition built specifically for training scenarios standard ball ammo cannot cover.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .223 Remington, running in the standard AR-15 platform.
• The bullet weighs 45 grains, lighter than standard FMJ due to the frangible compressed-powder core.
• The bullet is frangible, made from compressed copper and tin powder that breaks apart on impact.
• That construction virtually eliminates ricochet risk off hard steel targets.
• Frangible construction also reduces over-penetration through barriers, a common range-safety requirement.
• Cases are brass and marked reloadable, letting handloaders recover and reuse them.
• The load still cycles reliably through semi-automatic AR-15s despite the lighter bullet weight.
• Each box holds 50 rounds, sized for a focused training session.
