556 Ammo | .556 Ammo | 556  Nato Ammo.

556 ammo derived from the .222 cartridge and was officially adopted as the standardized NATO round in 1963. Essentially, 5.56×45 as a caliber came into being

because the military was using 7.62×51 and critics believed the larger round was too powerful for light service rifles, leading to rough recoil and a slower than desired

rate of fire in military service rifles. Today, the NATO standard cartridge is designated as “M855”. You’ll often find it in-stock and available to shooters. We also carry a

huge in-stock selection of .223 ammo for sale her, The 5.56×45mm NATO (official NATO nomenclature 5.56 NATO) is an intermediate cartridge developed in the

United States and originally chambered in the M16 rifle. Under STANAG 4172, it is a standard cartridge for NATO forces as well as many non-NATO countries. It is

derived from, but is not identical to, the .223 Remington cartridge, , .556 Ammo, 556  Nato Ammo.

Before we touch on what is the best , we should run through the types of  ammo for you to choose the right load for your application. When the military

created its own variant of the civilian .223 Rem, its name precisely was “Cartridge, 5.56mm ball, M193.” The M193 accepted a 55-grain projectile that was full metal 556 ammo

jacketed and boat-tailed for improved flight performance. However, such a lightweight bullet was still insufficient for penetrating hard targets at long range,Bulk 556

Ammo, 556 Ammo for sale.

So, in 1980, the upgraded 5.56 NATO cartridge came to the scene, the M855. The M855 had a heavier 62-grain bullet which, again, was full metal jacketed and boat- 556 ammo

tailed but also had a steel core instead of a lead core used in the original M193. The military decided to paint steel-core bullet tips of the new M855 in green to aid in

distinguishing between the two loads. That’s how green-tip rounds appeared.
