420 Rounds of 62gr FMJBT XM855 5.56x45 Ammo by Federal in Ammo Can

This 5.56x45 cartridge is from Federal’s American Eagle line of ammunition, so it’s at once an instance of the Minnesotan manufacturing giant’s best work as well as highly affordable. The M855’s 62 grain projectile is outfitted with a distinctive green tip, so it’s able to do a far better job of penetrating steel plating than a simple full metal jacket ever could have. The M855 has got a slightly slower muzzle velocity than the more common M193, but it offsets this with the addition of a boat tail design which helps it to keep a flatter trajectory farther downrange. The M855’s projectile is designed to comply with the Hague Convention and accordingly doesn’t expand as it penetrates, but it is known to fracture during its terminal performance.

These 420 rounds are packed together in a steel ammo can, one which is sturdy enough to almost certainly outlive its contents. It’s perfect for safe transport or reliable long-term storage, and also to collect these rounds’ reloadable brass casings in.
