The Federal Syntech Range 9mm Luger 124 gr Syntech Jacket Flat Nose is a centerfire handgun training load designed to keep pistols running cleaner during high-volume range sessions. Its polymer-encapsulated “Syntech” bullet construction is intended to reduce metal fouling and minimize splash-back on steel targets compared with traditional copper-jacketed practice ammunition.
Key Features
Syntech polymer-encapsulated bullet Prevents harsh metal-on-metal contact in the bore to help reduce copper and lead fouling during extended shooting sessions.
Flat nose bullet profile Uses a flat nose (FN) geometry that can produce clear target impacts while maintaining reliable feeding in many 9mm pistols.
Clean-running practice focus Designed to minimize residue buildup and reduce the frequency of cleaning compared with many conventional range loads.
Catalyst lead-free primer Uses a lead-free primer system intended to provide consistent ignition while reducing airborne lead from primer compounds.
Reduced splash-back on steel The absence of a traditional copper jacket is intended to help minimize splash-back when used on steel targets under appropriate range conditions.
Manageable recoil characteristics Tuned as a training load with recoil and impulse appropriate for repetitive drills and longer practice sessions.
