Overview
Built to NATO specifications, this 5.56x45mm load is suited to shooters who want a 62-grain FMJ round in a bulk 500-round format. The steel-core bullet with a green penetrating tip is intended for enhanced penetration, while the brass cases are reloadable for those who reuse their brass. With a listed muzzle velocity of 3100 fps, it fits range use and other applications where this cartridge is appropriate. It is not intended for use in commercial bolt-action rifles chambered in .223 Remington, so chambering should be confirmed before use.

- This ammunition is not intended for use in commercial bolt-action rifles chambered in .223 Remington, so chambering should be verified before purchase or use.
- The M855 FMJ design with a steel core and green penetrating tip is oriented toward penetration rather than general-purpose hunting expansion.
- At 500 rounds per case, it is a bulk purchase that may be more than needed for occasional range use or limited storage space.
- Brass cases are reloadable, which adds value for reloaders but may be less relevant if you do not reuse spent brass.
