20 Rounds of 52gr Lead-Free Open Tip 5.56x45 Ammo by Barnes

Looking for a lead-free solution to all your AR-15 target shooting needs? Barnes’ Range AR series ammunition delivers! This cartridge’s 52 grain bullet is made of exactly two components: a copper-alloy jacket, and a solid zinc core. Perfect if you want to work on your aim wherever toxic projectiles are banned!

Aside from its unconventional zinc core, this round’s bullet is an otherwise normal open tip flat base. The bullet does provide good enough accuracy for picking off varmints, but it can’t follow up impact with terminal expansion – it only has a nose cavity because molten metal was injected through there to create a rotationally stable form-fitted core. The bullet’s flat base promotes better short-to-medium range accuracy because it gives such a uniform surface for the propellant gasses to press up against. Each open tip also features a cannelure, so your semi-automatic firearm’s recoil won’t jerk the bullet out of its seating while it’s sitting in the magazine.

Barnes loads this ammunition to provide reliable performance in all AR-style rifles, regardless of barrel length. Each round’s lead-free and accurate bullet is poking out of a reloadable brass case!
