A: Thanks for reaching out Mickey! This round's bullet is fundamentally the same that the U.S. Armed Forces would use in combat. It would be silly to say it wouldn't be effective for personal protection. That said, you can choose an even better bullet for self-defense. Because of the Hague Convention, the Armed Forces is obligated not to use expanding bullets for combat. Bullets which expand (A) reduce the risk of overpenetration, and (B) inflict more damage to their target, which are two big reasons why you should consider using them for self-defense. If you specifically want 5.56, then I'd highly recommend Black Hills Dual Performance: https://www.luckygunner.com/5-56x45-62-grain-dual-performance-black-hills-50-rounds. If you're open to 223 Rem, then we've got a lot of great options in stock: https://www.luckygunner.com/rifle/223-remington-ammo?ammo_use_type=1436. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

A: These will work, but are ideal for a 1:9 twist rate barrel. If you have a 1: you will want to use a 60-70 grain bullet and if a 1:7 heavier than 70 grain is what i would recommend.

These 5.56 M193 rounds by PMC have a lead core and copper jacket. The M855 rounds have steel in the tip but not the M193s.

A: This burnt look we see is part of the annealing process from the manufacturer. The neck portion of the case is treated with heat in order to give it proper strength for bullet seating and reliability when fed into your rifle. Some agencies will require this burnt look exposed to confirm this process was completed correctly. Brass that does not appear this way has been polished to hide the annealing process.
