A local retailer has Speer 100gr frangible ammo at a great price. I bought a case and have shot about 700rds and it shoot very well in my XD9. After reading several posts it seems that most frangible ammo cost more that FMJ. But this retailer is selling it about $20 a case cheaper than the FMJ. Does anyone know anything about the Speer 100gr frangible ammo.

  Blount/Speer offers frangible ammunition in two calibers, 100-grain 9mm Parabellum and 125-grain .40 S&W. These rounds are made with lead-free clean-fire primers and feature a newly designed projectile. The projectile has a fluted copper jacket combined with a cast zinc alloy core and is designed to break into small pieces upon impact with steel targets, backstops, or other similar objects. While ZNT projectiles look like conventional bullets, they contain zinc alloy instead of lead, which eliminates lead dust upon impact.
