Description
Are you looking for an affordable 5.56×45 cartridge that offers something a little different than what you’re accustomed to? Then look no further than this one — it’s from Federal’s American Eagle ammo line, so it has got the high grade components you need to treat your rifle right without breaking the bank, and it’s an XM855 to boot.
As an XM855, this round’s 62 grain projectile is comprised of a full metal jacket, lead core, and steel penetrator tip as indicated by its green meplat. Its steel component leaves this bullet far able to burrow through hard barriers that might have turned a more conventional bullet aside, including sheet metal. This bullet further sports a boat tail design, so its high ballistic coefficient will give you the flattened trajectory and greater downrange velocity needed for accurate shooting. Give this round a go in an M16A2 to get performance like what our troops experience.
