100rds – 5.56x45 Federal American Eagle 55gr. FMJBT Ammo

Federal Ammunition 55 Grain Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail (FMJ-BT) Ammo Details

Have you recently found yourself repeating the following sentence over and over in your head? “My life is a jumbled mess of regret and forlornness, for I’ve not a single round of 5.56x45 target ammunition to call my very own.” Then it’s time to make your happiness a priority. Order yourself a big ol’ box o’ Federal American Eagle and get crack-a-lackin’!

Rice. Wheat. Corn. These are all called “staple grains.” The foundation of a sound diet, and all that. In that vein, this kind of 5.56 is like “staple ammo.” It’s the stuff that real AR-15 enthusiasts must fire weekly lest they begin to feel vague discontentment.

The 55 grain full metal jacket boat tail is like vitamins A through E, and K as well (we don’t know why the vitaminologists skipped F through I, but we’ve no reason to judge their judgement). It’s a lead core and a gilding metal jacket – no steel – with a base shaped like a boat’s empennage (also known as a “tail”) to help curtail drag and conserve stability. It’s a great choice of bullet for teaching targets who’s boss, and can easily mince up a varmint despite being unable to expand.

Federal’s brass cases are as new as the wards of an NICU. They are reloadable, and we do encourage handloading so long as it doesn’t interfere with your ability to regularly order new ammunition from AmmoToGo.com.
