7.62x51 - 149 Grain FMJ M80 - Winchester - 20 Rounds

Did you hop on the internet in search of 308 Win ammo? Don’t be led astray by such totally different numbers! 7.62x51 ammo is perfectly compatible with rifles chambered for 308. It’s loaded to generate a slightly lower chamber pressure, but it’s still going to cycle a semi-auto and treat any other type of rifle just as nicely. This is Winchester’s own M80 ammo, the military’s go-to stuff for range and sniper training. Its bullet is actually a couple grains heavier than the standard 147 grains, but with its muzzle velocity of 2,790 fps you won’t experience any discernible difference in ballistic performance. The M80 bullet is a true full metal jacket, with a lead core and concentric copper alloy jacket that aren’t fashioned to expand inside game. There are hundreds of better options available for hunting. There are better 7.62x51 rounds for personal protection as well, but please don’t rule this ammo out for home defense. It’s 7.62x51 – it really doesn’t do human-sized threats any favors. This isn’t old military surplus. It’s non-corrosive new production ammo, gentle on a rifle’s chamber and bore before it becomes reloadable. Please be sure that this isn’t the 7.62x39 ammo you’d want for an AK-47.

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.
