500 Rounds of 55gr FMJBT 5.56x45 Ammo by Federal

Federal has been manufacturing ammunition since 1922; that’s over 100 years of dedication and experience. They have a well-deserved reputation for excellence in the firearms community, in part because they use only quality components in their ammunition but also due to their innovation and loyalty. When they first started out the military awarded them a contract to build and operate the Twin City Ordnance Plant, and through multiple wars Federal worked to support our troops through ammunition supplies. They did such a good job they were awarded an Army-Navy “E” for excellence. Today that same excellence can be seen in these mil-spec rounds.

These 5.56 rounds are a lightweight 55 grain, and that means they’re going to fly down-range with incredible speed.
