30rds - 5.56x45mm Federal American Eagle 55gr. M193 FMJBT Clipped Ammo Details

Buying your 5.56mm NATO ammo on stripper clips is like buying your coffee grounds in k-cups: the contents come in a sensibly organized fashion that is as useful as it is visually appealing. Each of these 30-round boxes comes with 3 ten-round stripper clips which keep your ammo from bouncing around loosely in your range bag. When you need them, the clips can be loaded into magazines using the standard USGI spoon loader or something more modern like a StripLula. While the internal brass tab of the clip is likely to be broken or bent from initial unloading, an overall rigid design allows the clip to be reused for the storage of loose ammo as you see fit.

The 5.56x45mm ammo itself follows M193 specifications which call for a 55-grain full metal jacket projectile with a tapered boat tail (FMJ-BT) rear. The shape lends itself to intrinsic drag resistance while a toothed cannelure keeps the bullet firmly locked within its crimp; both build choices help to shrink groups downrange. Other components include clean-burning powder and a non-caustic Boxer primer which are both housed in a brass casing. As per military standard, the casing is annealed at the neck and shoulder for flexible strength that promotes proper chamber pressures and safe reloading viability.
