I've bought 1000s of rounds from Bulk Ammo and my last purchase was no exception. High quality for a good price, and lightning fast shipping. In these challenging times it's nice to have a supplier you can depend on I have my own outdoor shooting area so the XM855 is the perfect round for me. (Posted on 6/17/2020)

Arrived BA style fast as usual. Being my first 1000 rnd. loose packed purchase I was impressed.
I guess I was expecting the casings and projectiles to be more dinged and marked up than they where.
I am positive however that they will preform as accurately and as clean as they looked in my M4. (Posted on 2/27/2020)

I am able to shoot any .223 or 5.56 except the steel casings through my S&W ARs with absolutely no issues. I have over 10k through one of them with various brands of Ammo. Then I bought the Lake City Bulk. In my box I had 4 misfires and 2 jams. What I learned was inspect each casing as you load
If they have damage, or do not look true, (which some may), you may get a jam or misfire. Great price but not typical Lake City reliability. (Posted on 8/21/2019)

I have purchased so much of this ammo that I can't let my wife know I have gone through the kid's college funds. Bushmaster... AR... about 8 thousand rounds, a couple of barrels and I can count the FTF's and other round related incidents on a couple of hands. Granted, I clean my weapons properly and often and use proper mags, but the value to quality ratio for this product is on target. Thank goodness they take plastic! (Posted on 10/24/2018)

The ammo itself is fantastic. The reason I gave it four stars on reliability is because you need to expect some damaged casings. It doesn't say this on the description and they're more banged up than they used to be (in my experience). Bulkammo was great to deal with when it came to rectifying the problem even though I believe it was a manufacturer issue. Cheaper prices, ammo is in stock, great customer service and fastest shipping around is why I always check here first. (Posted on 12/19/2013)

fastest shipping ever, 1 jam but due to my son not replacing firing pin after brake down, i was hitting targets at 300 yards with full penatration 1/4 inch steel, honestly it amazed me, going to buy more and redo the range due to no actual range finder available. but even if i was miss calculated range it wasn't by more then 50 yards. Amazing AMMO. I will only shop at Bulk ammo. My AR is my life, simply amazing. (Posted on 11/6/2013)

Been buying this stuff since last winter (about 3500rds.) and have fired 400 or 500 rounds. Excellent and consistent performance with exceptional long range characteristics thanks to the 62grs. and the BT after the FMJ. All we need now is base bleed. Now that the sticker shock on all ammo has passed I must say it is a bargain. (Posted on 9/28/2013)

I really like this particular round, especially in my 1-7 A2 with a 20" barrel. Bulkammo does a GREAT job of getting my orders shipped out quickly, the prices are always at the bettter end of the scale, and if what I'm looking for is available anywhere it's going to be available here. I really like that they show how much they have in stock so you know you're not going to get a backorder notice, too. With ammo as expensive as it is no matter where you get it, it's nice that I don't have to worry about anything else when I order from Bulkammo. (Posted on 8/21/2013)

I've already purchased 5,000 rounds of this steel core AP ammo for my 5.56 M4s and ARs. It's the best penetrating AR round that I've seen even compare with Nato AP rounds. The steel cored tip inside the FMJ makes this particular ammo VERY, VERY nice for instance, if someone was hiding behind a tree 150 yrds. away.....this ammo IS going STRAIGHT THROUGH A 12" diameter oak-- just to tag them behind it!!! I love this ammo; although it's expensive as heck -----But it's a good feeling having 30, 45, 75, and 100 round mags. ALL stocked with this AP, ass-bustin' ammo!! (Posted on 4/24/2013)

The shipping was as expected, 3 days later in my hands. The price is high, but the cheapest I have seen on the internet for this quality of ammo. The round count was 27 short, which did not make me happy as I was splitting the order with 2 other co-workers & it was my idea to go the 3-way split, so I took the short end of the stick. Customer service at Bulk Ammo gave me a credit on the 27, but I would rather have gotten the rounds. Overall, I was OK with my purchase & would buy from Bulk Ammo again. (Posted on 4/22/2013)

With the rush on 5.56 and .223, I decided to get a bulk box to tide me over until prices come back down. Bulkammo has the best price around for 1000 rounds of M855 green tips; everywhere else I've looked is out of stock or charging more than $1 a round.
My box came with 963 rounds, so the measure-by-weight system used by Federal/Lake City shorted me almost a mag's worth, but all in all I'm satisfied with my purchase.
These green tips cycled nicely through my S&W M&P-15, and were plenty accurate for my needs. The brass looks like once-fired so they'll be great for reloading, but I'm sure I'll buy from here again.
My order was filled quickly, and shipping was fast and discreet; the ammunition came overboxed in a nondescript box with the required ORM-D sticker for live rounds. (Posted on 3/14/2013)

Bulkammo is very good at getting the product to you quickly, however beware of these loose rounds boxes. Mine only had 972 in it instead of the 1000 as advertised! (Posted on 3/9/2013)

I tried the 5.56x45 and was very pleased with it. It works great in my Ruger Mini-14 Rancher but I understand it may be too hot in a Ruger Target. Had a slight issue with Ammo but customer service was excellent and I am now very pleased. The price was higher than I had hoped, but try and find some elsewhere. (Posted on 3/6/2013)

Fast processing and shipping from Bulk Ammo all around Great Service. Ammo came clean and all in great shape. Cant wait for 2 things though, 1 the price to come back like it was and 2 R&R so I can empty most of these rounds down range. Otherwise cycled a couple rounds through and shot clean no issues.

Very impressed on how quickly I received it. It feeds, fires and goes through most anything, watch your back drop!
Now if they would get some bulk .300 Blackout or Wisper and .338 Lapua Mag in, the world would be perfect.
Thanks Bulk Ammo, keep up the good work-Semper-Fi! (Posted on 2/23/2013)

Here in Indy it's a bit hard to buy some ammo.

Lake city ammo runs in your 5.56 AR like 98 octane in your V8. If the desire out weights current prices. This is the stuff to run. Not that bore eating bi metal jacket steel crap from Russia. Careful what you load in your weapon, it could end up wearing out your bore and choking up your gas block. You get what you pay for, just wish we were at 05 prices.

It doesn't get any better! if you're looking for ammo that has proven itself in combat and numerous penetration tests on Youtube, this is the ammo for you. I had been buying various cheap 223 ammo until i had a little money, splurged and bought a box of the "green tips". I can only say, "Wow" what a difference. You won't be disappointed.

If you need true NATO spec. ammo for your AR this is about the best you can buy. As most people have found out over the years, L.C. is the best. If your firearm is marked 5.56X45 make sure you use 5.56 ammo in it. If it's marked 223cal. use only 223 ammo in it. (Posted on 5/31/2011)

Our customer service team has published this Q&A information as a free service to the shooting community. Please note that BulkAmmo.com expressly disclaims any and all liability with regard to how the shooting community might use this Q&A information. See Terms of Use for more details.
Q: How much is a total cost on these if I order some
Posted On: 2/2/2021 By: Don Karenbauer
A: Thanks for reaching out Don! This ammo is currently out of stock, but we'll update its price the instant we get more in our warehouse. I can't say exactly when that will be, but we do update our inventory frequently. I hope you'll check back in with us again soon!
Q: will work in a AR15 smith@wesson nato 5.56
Posted On: 6/17/2020 By: william wilson
A: Absolutely! You may experience the best accuracy with a 1:8 or 1:9 barrel twist, but this ammo is optimal for such an AR-15.
Q: Are these BT (Boat Tail) or non boat tail?
Posted On: 5/25/2020 By: Daniel
A: Hi Daniel! The M855 cartridge's bullet has an FMJ, steel tip, and boat tail as a rule!
Q: Are these legal in New Jersey?
Posted On: 2/24/2020 By: Zachary Brown
A: Let us preface our answer with a disclaimer: We are not lawyers, and we will never become lawyers. (Any law school that would accept us couldn't possibly be a very good one, either.) That said, it is our understanding that the state of New Jersey bans "armor piercing" ammunition. HOWEVER, it is our understanding that M855 rounds don't meet the threshold for what constitutes "armor piercing" and are therefore legal to purchase and own in New Jersey.
Q: HI guys,
I have purchased several 1000 round quantities before but not loose packed. My question is, do you see or hear of cartridges being damaged when packed this way?. Just wondering..
Posted On: 2/23/2020 By: Chip Seibert
A: We've never encountered a problem with loose-packed ammo. Brass can't scratch itself, and it's harder than the copper that jackets bullets. The rounds are also packed tightly enoguh in there that they only negligibly shift around during transport. Loose-packed rounds are great when you want to do a lot of shooting and don't want to peel apart a hundred little cardboard boxes!
Q: Will these rounds be prohibited in some indoor ranges ?
Posted On: 2/19/2020 By: Brandon Ortiz
A: Steel core can be banned at some indoor ranges, it's best to check with the range you're looking into.
Q: I'm going boar hunting and need ammo that expands-- I read the description and it says that it resists expansion. Am I correct in assuming that this would not be the round for for me?
Posted On: 1/24/2020 By: Flip
A: Hi Flip! This ammunition would not be a great fit for hog hunting. Not only will you not get much expansion out of the bullet, but some states even have laws regarding not hunting with full metal jacket ammunition. If you need help choosing a hunting ammo, please don't hesitate to contact us at customerservice@bulkammo.com.
Q: Is the rebate $50 off the special price of $299 when 2 or more cases are ordered?
Posted On: 8/27/2019 By: MM
A: Yes. You pay our web-published price (plus shipping and tax, if any) and then submit the rebate request directly to the manufacturer for reimbursement by them.
Q: Hello, I want to know why the bullet looks a bit rusty
Posted On: 3/21/2019 By: Tian
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.
Q: Does the box that has the ammo details on it ship inside another cardboard box for privacy of what is inside?
Posted On: 1/19/2019 By: Ej falcone
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.
Q: Made in the US?
Posted On: 1/2/2018 By: Bob
A: Hi Bob,
These are Federal Lake City Rounds. They are made in the US.
Q: Do these come on stripper clips?
Posted On: 1/25/2017 By: Ian
A: Hello Ian,
This specific Lake City ammunition is loose packed in 1000 pieces per case. It does not come loaded on stripper clips or in individual boxes.
Q: what is the B/C of this 62 grain bullet?
Posted On: 9/24/2015 By: Terry
A: Hello Terry,
The G1 B.C. of an SS109 bullet is .304. The G7 B.C. of the SS109 bullet is .177
Q: Are these rounds made with Lake City Brass
Posted On: 9/23/2015 By: Ryan
A: Hello Ryan,
This 5.56 ammunition is all new manufacture from the Lake City manufacturing plant.
Q: What is the fps rating on these rounds?
Posted On: 8/24/2015 By: Kevin Bigler
A: Hello Kevin!
Lake City lists the velocity of this round at 3000 fps +/- 40 fps.
Q: Is this NEW production ammo? Not reloaded?
Posted On: 12/25/2013 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.
Q: Tell me the difference between the M855 and the XM855. Is this a factory reject or some kind of other blemish?
Posted On: 6/10/2013 By: Mike in AZ
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.
Q: Steel core = is that the equivelant of an AP (Armor Piercing) round?
Posted On: 5/21/2013 By: snowrhino
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.
Q: Noticed the green tip on these in the pics. Are these tracer rounds? Need to know since we're in a drought situation where I live and it's very dry where I shoot. LMK and thank you.
Posted On: 3/11/2013 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.
Q: is this the ammo that can work on my bushmaster or smith & wesson AR15 223?
Posted On: 1/29/2013 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.
Q: Is the 5.56 x 45 ammo the correct ammo for the Colt AR 15 model 6720
Thank you!
Posted On: 12/21/2012 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.
Q: Can I back order the ammo 1000 Rounds of 5.56x45 XM855 Steel Core Ammo by Lake City - 62gr FMJ ??
Posted On: 3/19/2012 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.
