20rds – 5.56x45mm Federal American Eagle XM855 62gr. FMJBT Ammo

Federal Ammunition 62 Grain Penetrator Ammo Details

American Eagle is one of Federal’s more affordable lines of ammunition, although it hardly represents poor quality. This 5.56x45mm cartridge features a green tipped 62 grain projectile, the steel core of which permits it to pass through barriers like a solid lead core bullet could never hope to. You’ll find plinking a far more enjoyable pastime when your shots are able to pass through a junked car like it was made of cotton candy.



This round’s projectile further features a full metal jacket, which does even more to promote its ability to penetrate targets as well as prevent the rapid accumulation of lead residue in your rifle’s bore. This bullet’s boat tail design measurably improves its ballistic coefficient, so with it you may enjoy a flat trajectory, the ability to fire accurate shots in the wind, and superior momentum delivered upon impact. This round’s brass casing is ready for the reloading bench, and its carefully weighed propellant reliably provides a consistent muzzle velocity.
