Frequently Asked Questions

What are the advantages of using frangible ammunition on steel targets?

Frangible ammunition, like Speer Lawman RHT, disintegrates upon impact with steel, significantly reducing the risk of dangerous splashback and ricochets. This allows shooters to engage targets at closer distances, making defensive training more realistic and dynamic.

How does Speer Lawman RHT ammunition differ from traditional FMJ rounds for steel targets?

Traditional FMJ rounds require greater distance from steel targets to prevent splashback. Speer Lawman RHT uses a copper-polymer blend bullet that disintegrates on impact, enabling closer engagement and safer practice without lead or copper fragments bouncing back.

Can I train at closer distances with frangible ammunition?

Yes, frangible ammunition is specifically designed to allow for closer engagement distances with steel targets. This is a key benefit for defensive practice, enabling training at realistic distances like 7 to 10 yards without compromising safety.

What is the construction of Speer Lawman RHT frangible bullets?

Speer Lawman RHT frangible bullets are constructed from a special copper-polymer blend. This composition causes the bullet to break apart into small particles upon striking a hard surface like a steel target, rather than ricocheting.
