150 Rounds of 62gr FMJ 5.56x45 Ammo by Federal

AR-15s are popular, versatile rifles and so is the 5.56 caliber ammo that accompanies them. Not only are the rifles easy to handle, they’re fun, and they can fill a number of roles including hunting and home defense. If you own an AR-15 odds are you’ve heard discussions regarding the differences between .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO rounds. There is a difference, and it’s important to understand. Although the two are quite similar externally the 5.56 NATO is loaded to a higher internal pressure and the chamber leade is a different length as well. Firing a 5.56 NATO round through a gun chambered for .223 Remington can have catastrophic results.

If you have an AR-15 chambered in 5.56 NATO, these rounds made by Federal are for you. They weigh in at 62 grain which makes them lightweight for rifle rounds in general but standard weight for the cartridge size. Being lighter-weight is what enables these rounds to zip down-range at higher speeds and also helps keep felt recoil manageable. These are FMJ, Full Metal Jacket, rounds and so do not expand on impact but simply strike the target and keep going. Always be sure you have a good backstop in place during range time. This ammunition is meant for target practice, self-defense training, and plinking.
