More Details About Our 500 Rounds of 77gr OTM 5.56x45 Ammo by Black Hills Ammunition
If you just got your hands on your first AR-style rifle and need some good ammo for shooting bottles in your backyard, then this sure as heck ain’t it. This is the good stuff. The match stuff. The 5.56x45 that lets you send a conga line of bullets at long-distance range targets – and it’s made by Black Hills Ammunition, which makes match 5.56 for the Army as well!
This round was loaded in Rapid City, SD with a 77 grain open tip match bullet. That’s a uniformly thin copper jacket with a uniformly distributed solid lead core. The OTM’s design achieves two major objectives: maintaining balance and conserving velocity in flight. The OTM’s nose cavity isn’t functional in the sense that it does not catalyze terminal expansion. The non-expanding terminal ballistics of an OTM and an FMJ aren’t significantly different.
This ammo’s bullets are heavy as a defense against wind drift. They will demonstrate their best airborne stability in conjunction with an 1:8” barrel or faster. This ammo’s cases are absolutely brand new. You can see darker coloration in the cases around where their necks were annealed, but all that means is you can tell they were manufactured correctly.
