500 Rounds of 5.56x45 Ammo by Independence - 55gr FMJBT

It’s too easy to rip through ammo with an AR-pattern rifle. Let’s all admit it: no matter how expensive of optics and accessories we mount on our rifles, we really just want nothing more than to go cyclic at the end of the range session.

Independence 55 grain FMJBT may not exactly be the cartridge of choice for mag dump. This rocket-hot load of 5.56X45mm is well suited for punching little holes into all kinds of things. This is XM193 ammunition which means it is functionally identical to MIL-SPEC M193 but did not make the cut to be labeled MIL-SPEC for whatever reason.

Accuracy is trump to all other factors in shooting, period. This is why both MIL-SPEC 5.56X45mm NATO standard issue loadings are boat tail variety. These are designed to increase the ballistic coefficient and create a more stable flight. The military has long stressed the importance of consistent shot placement over all other factors, including larger chamberings. The M193 offers the best marriage of high accuracy with fragmentation over the infamous “green tip” M855. While offering improved penetration due to a steel core, the differences in all other factors are fairly minimal between the two.

This is an excellent opportunity to buy first-rate ammunition in bulk to feed your hungry M4, Tavor, or whatever else is in your stable. It is a highly accurate load which moves with great swiftness and can be purchased in bulk.
