Description

The Federal 5.56 NATO 55gr FMJ load is built for shooters who want more from their 5.56x45mm NATO than typical factory ammunition delivers.

This load is built to the XM193 military specification, with a 55 grain boat-tail bullet and NATO-spec pressure for reliable function in 5.56 chambered rifles.

• Quality brass cases

Buying ammunition by the box from the same production lot keeps velocity and point of impact consistent from one range trip to the next. Keep a record of the load you carry, check your ammunition for dents or loose bullets from time to time, and rotate your carry rounds so the ones in your firearm stay fresh. These simple habits help you get the full performance Federal builds into every cartridge.

Before you trust any new load, fire enough rounds through your firearm to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Full-power loads produce more recoil and muzzle blast than typical range ammo, so practice with the Federal 5.56 NATO 55gr FMJ until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.

The 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge was adopted by the US military in the 1960s along with the M16 rifle and has since become the standard rifle round for NATO forces. It is loaded to higher pressure than the commercial .223 Remington, and rifles chambered in 5.56 can safely fire both, making it one of the most popular rifle cartridges in America.
