How can these people say such lies? Because lying is not an issue when truth is not a value. Dennis Prager

Any thoughts on these for SKS or AK rounds.

They’re .17 cents apiece if you buy a 1000.

Don't nave.any experience with these but frangible ammo is great for training especially at close distances. It is definitely not something you want to use for self defense.

I have not purchased any frangible ammunition.  I have not seen other shooters have any issues with it.  Although there was a failure to fire, soft strike to primer, and this is what it looked like picking it up off the ground.  Not sure if it fell apart during the action of the cycling or when it fell into the dirt.  Dirt was pretty soft sand.  I guess it would've been prudent to try a fresh one and just cycle the action by hand to see if it did the damage. 

If you get some, we all will be waiting for your reports on your trials. 



The frangible is next to steel case.  You can see part of the tip of bullet is broken off.
