Loading .223 frangible
I finally got my reloading bench set up and am reloading the frangible bullets I got from Da
 . Thanks again Padre! So loading for frangible is not something I have ever done. It has some differences than regular rounds. It is a 42gr bullet but you use 55gr data to compensate for the density difference. Here is the data for H335 I am going to use. I get the theory behind frangible for home defense. I just moved into a wood frame and stucco house after living in concrete block houses my whole life. Putting a green tip round through my walls now may continue farther than I may like. However I am not sure about loading my own self defense rounds. I will try to get some chronograph data and will read up on using these!BULLET WEIGHT 55 GR. SFIRE Manufacturer Hodgdon Powder H335 Bullet Diameter .224" C.O.L. 2.220" Starting Load Grains 21.4 Velocity (ft/s)2,969 Pressure 47,000 PSI Maximum Load Grains 22.8 Velocity (ft/s)3,099 Pressure51,800 PSI

I use 55 grain soft point varmint bullets for my personal defense load.
They are "frangible".
