Overview
Built for practice, close-range drills, and 3-gun events, this 5.56x45mm NATO load offers a straightforward option for shooters who want standard ball ammunition in a familiar 55 grain FMJ format. The M193 designation identifies it as a military-style round originally developed for field use with the M16A1 rifle. It is chambered in 5.56 NATO, which will fit in a .223 Remington chamber, but it is not recommended for .223 Remington rifles because 5.56 NATO operates at higher pressures.
