500 Rounds of 5.56x45 Ammo by Federal American Eagle - 55gr FMJBT

You don’t want to put a lot of thought into everything you do. You need to conserve as much mental energy as you’re able so you can decide what to have for lunch.

That’s what makes Federal’s American Eagle series ammunition so great. You don’t have to agonize over whether it’s the right choice for your AR-15 or other 5.56x45 firearm. It simply is.

This is bona fide tried and true target ammo: loaded with the 55 grain full metal jacket boat tail projectiles (nonmagnetic) anyone familiar with 5.56 ought to know already. Those are FMJ boat tail bullets, to be more accurate, which have tapered bases to facilitate velocity conservation downrange. Makes the bullet soar along a flat trajectory, and resist wind deflection, and hit harder. All good things!

Count this ammo’s brass cases among those things. They’re spring chickens – brand new – and handloader quality to a T. G1 BC: 0.246
