Self Defense
We love Winchester’s 5.56x45 M855 ammunition. Not only is this a great case of ammo to have on hand for plinking and target practice – it’s also useful for home defense thanks to its special full metal jacket projectile.
This round’s 62 grain FMJ is known as a “penetrator.” That’s because the front half of its core is made of hard steel instead of soft lead. The penetrator bullet also does a much better job of puncturing sheet metal.
The penetrator’s green painted tip indicates that the bullet contains steel. It will attract a magnet, so plan which ranges you visit accordingly. Its slightly heavier bullet also means M855 ammo provides the best accuracy in conjunction with a 1:8” or 1:9” barrel. (A 1:7” twist is acceptable, just not ideal.)
This ammo will function correctly in any AR-15 or other 5.56 firearm. Its brass cases are military-style in that they were not polished after being heat-treated for greater strength. Non-corrosive, Boxer-primed and fully reloadable!
