250rds – 5.56x45 American Quality Ammunition 77gr. OTM Ammo

American Quality Ammunition 77 Grain Open Tip Match Ammo Details

You would love to get your hands on some of that Black Hills Mk 262 5.56x45 ammo – but you wouldn’t necessarily love to pay for it. Isn’t there any more affordable alternative available to shooters who want match-accurate 5.56?

There is. It’s made by American Quality Ammunition of Montana. And although it’s not quite on par with Black Hills’ best, it offers a truly satisfactory option for when you’re only interested in poking long-distance holes.

This cartridge’s bullet is what we in the industry occasionally refer to as a “big ‘un.” At 77 grains, it’s massive enough to drink up wind interference without budging very far off course. But that bullet isn’t just a big ‘un. It is also a Hornady open tip match: the ultimate target shooting bullet, which preserves its balance and its velocity with brilliant reliability. For best accuracy with a heavy bullet, a barrel with a twist rate of 1:8 or faster is recommended. This round has a muzzle velocity of 2650 FPS.

American Quality gets the most value out of Hornady’s fine bullets by loading them with American-made high-quality components, including reloadable brass.
