Details

AR-15 fans can finally get their hands on a large quantity of 5.56x45 XM855 "Penetrator" ammo manufactured by Lake City via this 1000-round pack of Federal American Eagle ammo.

These 5.56x45 XM855 cartridges fire 62gr full metal jacket (FMJ) bullets with a steel penetrator inside with the famous green tip marking to easily identify the rounds. These bullets resist expansion and penetrate deeply. They are superior practice rounds for shooters who are looking to get serious about their training. These rounds carry a fast muzzle velocity of 3020 feet per second.

Lake City assembles these premium rounds using military-grade powders, primers, and new-production brass casings. The casings are non-corrosive and reloadable, and when stored properly they can sit on a shelf for an extended period of time.

For those of you who know and trust the quality of Lake City ammo, this is an unbelievable opportunity to stock up on 5.56x45mm XM855. Don't miss out! Order your 1000 round bulk case today!

A: That is part of the annealing process. If the ammo is spotty it could be residues from the chemical washes used to seal the ammo. It is not rust or corrosion.

A: You can always select "overbox my case" during checkout and your package will be "double boxed" with the outer case having no markings except the required DOT symbol.

A: Hi Bob, These are Federal Lake City Rounds. They are made in the US.

A: Hello Terry, The G1 B.C. of an SS109 bullet is .304. The G7 B.C. of the SS109 bullet is .177

A: Hello Ryan, This 5.56 ammunition is all new manufacture from the Lake City manufacturing plant.

A: Hello Kevin! Lake City lists the velocity of this round at 3000 fps +/- 40 fps.

Posted On: 12/25/13 By: Larry

A: Hello Larry, Yes, these 62gr. FMJ rounds in 5.56 by Lake City are new production and not reloaded. They are brass cased and boxer primed so you would be able to reload the cases once fired.

A: From a quality and performance comparison, you will not notice a difference between the two. While there is always talk of the XM's being duds and underperforming, we, and our customers have not discovered any issues with these rounds. The X designates the lot numbers that will be used for private/ civilian use versus military/ law enforcement use.

A: The steel core featured in this 5.56x45 NATO green tip round is not classified as an Armor Piercing (AP) round. The steel core will penetrate targets easier than similar rounds without a steel core. The rounds may be prohibited in some indoor ranges as these will not pass the magnet test.

Posted On: 3/11/13 By: Andy

A: The green tips on these 5.56x45 rounds indicate the bullet features a steel core. There will be no tracer element included on the bullet. Rounds that have an orange ink painted in place of this green tip will indicate a tracer round.

Posted On: 1/29/13 By: Andy

A: If your rifle ( Bushmaster, S & W etc.) has a marking of .223 Rem but does not include 5.56x45 NATO, the rifle has been designed to shoot .223 ammo only. The 5.56x45 is very similar, though its increased pressure may be unsafe for the .223 chamber and is simply not worth the risk shooing. If you rifle has both caliber markings, or just 5.56, both 5.56 and .223 ammo will work in your rifle.

Posted On: 12/21/12 By: Mark L

A: Correct. This 5.56x45 NATO ammo will work well for your Colt. The rounds do contain steel which may not be allowed in some indoor ranges. This will not cause any harm to your rifle. The brass casings are excellent for reloading and do not contain any corrosive components.

Posted On: 3/19/12 By: Dave

A: We do not do back orders, but we have other quantities of XM855 in stock at the moment. It would be best to buy while you can instead of waiting for the larger quantity.
