Frangible

Frangible 44 Magnum ammunition is specifically designed to reduce the risk of over penetration of a soft target. Frangible ammunition is also designed to reduce the risk of ricochets, which can be quite dangerous to both the shooter and people around them. These rounds fill an excellent niche for the 44 magnum. When hunting in mountainous areas hard surface areas are abundant, these surface areas can be at odd angles and create ricochets unpredictably, so you might prefer one of these projectiles instead of a more traditional load.

Frangible ammunition can be a safe load to hunt medium game in areas with a majority of hard surface areas. Frangible ammunition can also be used as a close range finishing shot on wounded game.
