300 Rounds of 62gr FMJ 5.56x45 Ammo by Federal

The 5.56 got its start is a military round, but it didn’t take long for the round to become immensely popular on the civilian market, largely thanks to the AR-15. After all, what’s more fun than slinging lead down-range with an AR-15? Your AR-15 is a great tool for tactical training and hunting both, and if you want to become a more proficient marksman and a more successful hunter, you need to get some range time in. One of the mistakes some shooters make is using cheaply made, poor quality ammo during range time; what you load your gun with matters, not only for performance sake but also for the life of your rifle.

At 62 grain these are lightweight rounds for the 5.56 cartridge but standard weight for Penetrator rounds; that’s right, these are the always-popular green-tipped XM855 Penetrators. These are Full Metal Jacket, FMJ, rounds, and as such do not expand on impact but simply punch through targets and keep going. These rounds have a steel core, giving them the ability to penetrate steel plates and other fairly substantial targets, but they are not armor-piercing rounds. Each round has a muzzle velocity of 3025 feet per second and strikes targets with truly compelling force. This ammunition is great for target practice and tactical training.

When you order this box of Penetrators from Federal you get 300 rounds.
