THIS IS M855 AMMUNITION.
Its bullets aren’t painted. Even so, the bullets contain steel “penetrator” cores and will attract a magnet.
Got it? Good! That means you are fully prepared to fire the exact same 5.56x45 M855 ammunition that Winchester produced for an export military contract, but wound up releasing to the American commercial market instead.
You are the American commercial market. That means your commercial (or Mil-Spec) AR-15 can get real busy launching this ammo’s heavier, higher-inertia, more wind resistant 62 grain full metal jackets downrange. The bullets’ partial steel cores enhance their ability to penetrate sheet metal. Naturally, such bullets also have a tendency to damage steel targets. They’re also unwelcome at many gun ranges, which is why we’re working overtime to remind you that this ammunition attracts a magnet.
We estimate the 62gr FMJ M855 bullet’s G1 BC at 0.344, which in turn licenses us to calculate the following ballistic data:
0yds: 3,060 fps | 1,289 ft lbs | -1.5”
100yds: 2,782 fps | 1,066 ft lbs | 1.5”
200yds: 2,522 fps | 875 ft lbs | 0.0”
300yds: 2,275 fps | 713 ft lbs | -7.0”
400yds: 2,043 fps | 575 ft lbs | -20.7”
500yds: 1,825 fps | 459 ft lbs | -42.9”
This is loose-packed ammunition; 1,000 rounds in a plastic bag in a cardboard box, and nothing fancier!
