Details
Whether you plan on setting it aside indefinitely or pouring it into range targets the same day it arrives at your doorstep, a whole case of 5.56x45 M855 ammunition always makes a smart investment. Armscor made this ammo in the Philippines, and it’s sure to sing beautiful music out of any AR-style firearm!
This round’s 62 grain full metal jacket bullet will attract a magnet – but not because it has a cheap bi-metal jacket. Just beneath the FMJ’s painted tip sits seven grains of pure steel, which gives the bullet the fortitude it needs to penetrate sheet metal. M855 (also known as SS109 outside of the USA) ammunition offers an obvious advantage to warfighters, but civilians also love it for its great accuracy. The slightlier heftier bullet retains more momentum and accordingly excels at resisting wind deflection.
Armscor may have loaded this ammo with magnetic bullets, but its noncorrosive Boxer-primed cases are all brass and all reloadable. This ammo’s cases are slightly tinged around their necks and mouths. They were not previously fired and reloaded. All 5.56 brass cases would have the same discoloration, but Armscor simply doesn’t enhance their military grade brass’s cosmetics by polishing it at the factory.

Q: Is this ammo compatible with a 223/5.56 rifle?

A: Yes sir, it is! But take care: many ranges prohibit bullets which contain steel. Check and make sure the range you want to visit allows "magnetic ammo" before you order M855! Otherwise you'll be safe with pretty much any American-made FMJ ammo.
