5.56x45mm ammo for your AR-15 is now available through Independence!

Independence, owned and operated by ATK, contracted with IMI (Israel Military Industries) to produce additional 5.56x45mm to help bridge the gap with the current shortage. IMI is Israel's government run military production facility tasked with producing ammunition for the Israeli army. IMI's ammunition is put to the test everyday in the hotbed of Mideast turmoil.

Each round is brass-cased, boxer-primed, non-corrosive, and reloadable.

The XM193 bullets sport a boat-tailed design for improved long-range accuracy and ballistics performance. This projectile has a lead core, copper jacket, and is non-magnetic. These rounds feature a water resistant lacquer applied to seal the primer and case mouth.

I've bought a bunch of this stuff and have found it to be decent performing ammo. That said, the latest batch has some QC issues. Inconsistent sealant application, nicks in the brass and, in one box, some rounds had damaged shoulders and dented cases. It's not clear if this particular box was damaged during shipping or left the factory with these defects. I saved the box and some of the rounds and will upload pics if I can figure out how. Generally I've been happy with Luckygunner but I'm not thrilled with having to throw 25 rounds away - it just increased my CPR significantly.

Junk Ammo
- Performance:
- Value:
- Quality:
by AR Shooter on 3/16/2016
This stuff is absolute junk. I'd take an occasional ftp over the fact that this stuff won't seat in the chamber of my rifle. It was confirmed by 2 local, reputable gunsmiths that it was definitely not my rifle. I guess its bad when you trust that "ammo could never be the issue" and you start second guessing your rifle. I was happy to find out that it was the ammo. Looking at this stuff you can see the difference in overall length in this and another type of ammo. And I mean it is plainly evident with the naked eye. The bullets are not seated fully in the case and they get lodged in my barrel. Junk ammo and obviously zero quality control on their end. Buy some Tula. At least then you expect a few issues out of it. Or PMC. I've never had any issues with that in any rifle I've ever shot.

Bought 500rds of this stuff and I'm about 1/2 way through it and I've had about a half a dozen rounds that didn't fire and 3 primer blow outs. These all occurred out of the same 2 or three boxes, so I'm hoping it was a bad batch. I've order more because I haven't given up on this stuff yet.

Fist 60 rounds were good. After that primers started blowing out. Out of 200 rounds shot. 3 no fire, 10+ primers blew out. New AR and it functions perfect with Privi/Part. And 2 other mfgs. Loved the price but can't depend on them. I have some casings to prove my point.

I tried this stuff in a stainless barreled AR and was very displeased. It is the only ammo, out of over a thousand rounds through this rifle, to ever cause a failure.

Also, this stuff is filthy. 100 rounds of this left my AR BCG and receiver interior covered in muck. I would not recommend.

This stuff shoots OK from my bushmaster. The groups are acceptable, though this is not match ammo by any stretch of the imagination. I really bought it because I wanted some inexpensive ammo to fire to set up my optics. and to collect brass. I was more interested in consistency than benchrest accuracy and it meets that bill. No feeding problems that were the fault of the ammo.

A Bitter Disappointment

by Dude1 on 9/18/2013
I expected better quality coming from Israel. I bought over 1,000 rounds and every one of them are horribly out of spec. The cartridge OAL on them is so long that they would not load in some of my magazines. After shooting 300 rounds they were all over the place. When I went to reload them EVERY single case was .028 too long. This is ridiculously out of spec. I have to trim every single case, this is very time consuming. I have never had to trim cases until after they have been fired a few times. I have had several feed jams as well. I would not stake my life or the lives of my loved ones on this ammo. I will not buy anymore of this ammo.

I have been more than pleased with this ammo and the service is great as well. Took girlfriend out to the range for the first time and fired over 200 rounds w/out any issues. I purchased my first box of 500 rds while in Afghanistan and once I returned I saw there was a sale so purchased another 500 rds. Lucky Gunner is a true winner in my book. I've even turned on others to the site while they were purchasing ammo at other places at a much higher price.

The cases are Federal, to some thats a show stopper, I have reloaded FC brass at least 3 times and don't see why I couldn't reload these as well. I will buy buy more but IMI and LC always get the nod.

This ammo is a great buy given todays prices. I see that it has gone up in price again since I bought my last 500 rounds last month . It is very accurate from my Knights Armament Mod 1 with no FTF or FTE issues. There is no more residue left after a day at the range then you would expect from the highest priced ammo. I have sent thousands of rounds of this ammo down range with no problems.

Q: Do these rounds have a crimped in primer? thanks!

Posted On: 1/4/2016 By: Jim Pileggi

A: Hello Jim, The Independence 5.56 ammunition does feature a crimped primer.

Q: Is this steel core ammo? In other words, could I shoot this at an indoor range with a rifle back stop?

Posted On: 1/1/2016 By: Stefan Smetanko

A: Hello Stefan, This ammunition is loaded with a standard copper jacketed, lead core projectile and does not feature any steel.

Q: I've heard that this ammo tends to run hot. What's the muzzle velocity on this lot?

Posted On: 12/12/2015 By: Will Krause

A: Hello Will, Independence lists the velocity of this round at 3165 fps.

Q: is this ammo same as 223

Posted On: 5/3/2014 By: william b hunt jr

A: Hello William, No, the 5.56 and .223 rounds are different. 5.56 has a higher chamber pressure than .223 and should not be fired in a firearm that is only chambered in .223. You can safely shoot .223 in a 5.56 rifle however because of the lower chamber pressure with .223 rounds.
