Looking to buy some frangible 5.56 but every time I try to purchase and change the number of items purchased it reverts back to one when I look for a shipping quote ??? What am I doing wrong ?

When you adjust the quantity, hit the button to the right that looks like a 3/4 circle (when you hover your mouse over it says update) and that should fix your issue. If you still have issues, pm me and I will give you a quote! Sometimes some browsers have issues, if you are following the instructions and having issues, you can try a different browser and see if that helps.
 
This is interesting ammo with mixed reviews all over the web.

That pretty much makes it a must buy for me.

I was just reading the WHMIS data sheet for this ammo and it states that the bullet is made of compressed copper powder and contained in a copper jacket. But it also states there is "Zytel nylon" used in the bullet.

Do these bullets have a plastic tip?

I have read on another forum that the bullet itself is almost 1" long, so I am just curious about its construction.

Thanks!
 
I'm not sure on the bullet length but I have shot some of this. It has a brown tip,possibly nylon. Shoots good and leaves a unique copper splash pattern on Steel targets. I'll take some photos next time I'm blasting some close range steel.

Thanks!

I see these as a cheaper way to get Barnes Varmint Grenades results provided you have a 1 in 7" twist barrel.
 
This will be my first order from you guys. Is there any discount for using EMT or being a first time customer? Also if you by more is there any deal. Thanks and look forward to doing business.

We normally put some freebies in the box - we currently have some super nice paracord keychains that you'll get as a new customer, plus some free targets :) I'll shoot you a PM!
 
i must have been told mis-information, but isn't frangible ammo illegal for civilian purchase and only available to MIL/LE?

It's a bit of a tricky area, but no it's not illegal for civilian use. It's available (although hard to get) for rifle ammo and it great for steel targets or other applications where ricochet could be an issue. Handgun frangible ammo can only be procured for mil/le.

Most frangible ammunition projectiles are a powdered copper or zinc pressed together to form the projectile as a whole.
There are non, semi and almost fully copper jacketed projectiles.

They can be fired on flat/undamaged or dented steel safely from as close as 15 meters depending on caliber used.
There are good quality frangible brands out there that will match the ballistics and accuracy of their standard counterparts.
I am always surprised there isn't more commercially available in Canada.
