This ammo truly is indistinguishable from the 5.56 M193 spec ammunition the U.S. Armed Forces issues for target shooting. It is simple yet high-quality, loaded with the consistent full metal jacket boat tail bullets that assure predictable ballistic performance. Its drag-reducing tapered base contributes to the 55 grain bullet’s 0.246 G1 ballistic coefficient – a mathematical representation of the projectile’s ability to elevate just 0.5” above the bore line before colliding with a target at 100 yards (a distance it reaches in 0.1 seconds).
This ammunition is brand new: recently manufactured for the commercial market, not ancient military surplus. It features noncorrosive Boxer primers, which are sealed for added security in storage, as well as virgin brass cases. The cases were not previously fired and reloaded; their necks are discolored because they were annealed (i.e. heat-treated for greater robustness) without subsequent polishing.
