Rifle Ammos Descriptions
223 Rem - 55 Grain FMJ - Igman - 1000 Rounds
Igman was founded to supply ammunition to the Yugoslav National Army. That particular army no longer exists, but Igman is still going strong in the country of Bosnia and Herzegovina. They owe their longevity not just to the consistent quality of their ammunition, but also their ability to churn out ample quantities of the 223 Rem American enthusiasts love so much. This cartridge is crowned with the 223 Rem’s all-time most popular 55 grain FMJ projectile. It’s loaded to conventional pressure to give it a muzzle velocity of (or very close to) 3,200 fps. The full metal jacket projectile can’t expand per se, although its ability to turn itself into bits of shrapnel inside of soft tissue makes its close-to-medium range terminal ballistics fairly unpleasant all the same. Igman’s bullet is made of exactly two materials: lead and copper alloy. As such this round’s bullet cannot attract a magnet, and will not attract unwelcome attention from a range master who enforces a magnetic ammo ban. Igman mints their own brass cases in their Bosnian factory. They run much more reliably and cleanly through an AR-15 than steel could ever hope to. These rounds are also furnished with non-corrosive Boxer primers, making them at once clean-shooting and reloadable.
45 ACP - 155 Grain RHT Frangible - Speer Lawman - 50 Rounds
Even the most cautious shooter is subject to certain dangers when they train. Shooting at steel targets and against hard backdrops presents a real risk of splash-back, where copper and lead fragments ricochet back to do serious damage. Splash-back is also a common problem at indoor ranges, where poor ventilation may also cause toxic lead to linger in a carcinogenic haze! But Speer’s Lawman line of ammunition works to make all those risks moot. This 45 ACP cartridge features Speer’s 155 grain Reduced Hazard Training projectile. The frangible bullet is comprised of 100 percent compressed copper particles, which are hardened but not fused together in a process called sintering. The RHT accordingly stays intact as it feeds and fires, but crushes itself into powder when it slaps a steel target or other hard surface. And in conjunction with this round’s heavy metal free Clean-Fire primer, the RHT poses no threat of producing airborne lead that could have accumulated indoors. This round’s lightweight bullet grants it a fast muzzle velocity, although you will find Speer’s training ammo reliably mimics many other conventional self-defense loads. Speer gives their RHT a distinctive pattern on its tip for easy identification, and complements it with a new brass case and clean burning propellant for superior functionality in a semi-auto.
