If you selflessly spend your free time dispatching vermin with a 5.56x45 rifle, then let us give you our thanks having us ship you a few boxes of Varmint & Predator ammunition by Federal Premium (but not for free). This cartridge’s 50 grain bullet is lighter than average, and its 3,100 fps muzzle velocity is a little lower than that of a standard 55 grain load as well. That amounts to slightly reduced recoil energy, which will help you squeeze off accurate shots more quickly. The bullet is a jacketed hollow point, which dominates a small game animal by flattening down and dispersing jagged shrapnel the instant it pierces its thin hide.
Federal loads these AR-friendly hunting cartridges in Minnesota – aka the land of 10,000 women named Karen Olson – with new and reloadable brass cases and clean-burning primers and powder.
