5.56X45 FEDERAL AMERICAN EAGLE 55 GRAIN FMJ (400 ROUNDS IN AMMO CAN)

About This Federal 5.56x45mm Ammunition

AR-15 ammunition, simple and pure. Federal’s American-made American Eagle ammo is manufactured according to military standards, accurate enough for any kind of target practice, and good to have on hand in case you ever land in a tight spot.

This 5.56x45 cartridge is loaded with the common 55 grain FMJ. It is an uncomplicated projectile with a streamlined profile, nonmagnetic and hard gilding metal jacket, and dense lead core. There is no steel or anything else that could qualify as magnetic in this round’s bullet, and although an FMJ can’t expand as it bores through soft tissue it still doesn’t do soft tissue any favors – not when it’s traveling at nearly three times the speed of sound, at least.

The FMJ’s ability to prevent rapid barrel fouling is complemented by this ammo’s clean-burning propellant and non-corrosive Boxer primers. Those are new brass cases, by the way – not reloads. Military-grade cases like these are annealed (aka heat-treated) at the factory but aren’t polished up afterward.

Federal sweetens the pot by packing all 400 of these rounds in a new production military-style .30 cal ammo can. That durable, moisture-repellent container is awesome whether you plan to store this ammo long-term or protect it in transit.
