    I shoot these in my 221 fireball but I was thinking about loading some up in 223 for short to mid range coyote.

    Are these considered frangible bullets? I want to make sure they are ok to shoot through my suppressor.

    I’ve shot coyotes and foxes with them in the 221 with great results. I would never take a unsafe shot but I like knowing the chance for ricochet is lessened.
    Thanks

    They are frangible. The core is a compressed copper tin powder. Their RRLP bullets are the same thing. The RR means reduced ricochet. I've used them in my 223.
    They would also be a better home defense bullet in 223 because they most likely would not over penetrate and kill the neighbors. I use the NTX bullet in my Hornet which is the same thing and don't ever recall one exiting a groundhog.
