- 1000 Rounds of 5.56x45 Ammo by Winchester USA - 62gr FMJ M855
Details
In general there are two kinds of magnetic bullets. The first only includes steel because it’s cheaper than copper. The second actually puts its steel to work to promote better penetration through sheet metal. This 5.56x45 ammo by Winchester features the latter kind of bullet.
An M855 round’s 62 grain bullet performs identically to an FMJ until it makes contact with something. If it hits steel plating within about 300 yards, the seven grain steel tip beneath its jacket facilitates clean perforation. If it hits soft tissue, that same tip promotes penetration up to a depth of 20”.
This ammo’s green-tipped bullets are loaded in new production brass cases. The cases are only gray around their necks and shoulders because they have been annealed, i.e. heat-treated to help them expand and reduce fouling within the action during ignition. Winchester’s consistent primers and propellant charges deliver satisfying target grade accuracy – just take note that a 62 grain bullet performs most accurately in conjunction with a 1:8 or 1:9 twist barrel.

Upon receipt, I inspected all 1K rounds. Plastic bag in a cardboard box, 1K rounds exactly. Of the 1K, five has deformities of varying degree, just below the juncture of case shoulder and projectile. Bulk Ammo addressed my concerns on the day I reported them. Gave me $10 off shipping on my next order. Rest of the ammo looked good and is performing well. BA customer service is on it like a bonnet! Would recommend the ammo and company to a friend. (Posted on 8/29/2023)

I have a Bushmaster AR that I bought back when they were making their rifles under contract for the US Army and Marines. It is a military grade rifle with a 1:9 twist barrel so it loves the SS 109 ammo. I can do double tap shots with a group less than 1” apart hits with my rifle. The price is not going to go down so get it while it’s still available. BulkAmmo is top notch!!! (Posted on 7/1/2022)

I finally got my ammo order today. I know it’s great ammo because it’s made by Winchester. It took an extra 3 days for my order to get to me because Mother Nature dumped on the Eastern United States but it was worth the wait. Thank You BulkAmmo. Great people and excellent service!!!!
