250 Rounds of 62gr FMJ 5.56x45 Ammo by Lake City

These is the popular XM855 green-tipped 5.56 NATO ammo known as Penetrator rounds. They’re sometimes mistakenly referred to as armor-piercing rounds, but although they aren’t armor-piercing rounds they’re still pretty powerful. These rounds have a steel core and are strong enough to punch through steel plates. They’re rated in the military for use against troops and light vehicles, which gives you an idea what they’re capable of doing. If you’ve never tried XM855 rounds in your 5.56-chambered rifle, it might be time to give it a try. These are fun rounds; you’ll enjoy each and every squeeze of the trigger.

At 62 grain these are the standard weight for XM855 rounds, which also makes them lightweight by 5.56 standards. At this weight these rounds can zip to your target with fantastic speed, and you know they’re going to make impact with enormous force. These are FMJ rounds and therefore will not expand on impact. Just remember, rifle rounds can travel literally for miles before coming to a stop, so have a good backstop in place for safety’s sake. Each of these rounds leaves your gun with a muzzle velocity of 3020 feet per second and hits home with a muzzle energy of 1256 foot-pounds. These are powerful target rounds and can be used for shooting drills and plinking.
