223 Rem - 55 Grain FMJBT - Federal American Eagle - 100 Rounds

AR-15 ammunition. You want it, and Federal delivers the goods. As 223 Rem this ammunition is also perfect for rifles and carbines chambered for 5.56x45. Order a box or two and take care of your next target shooting session. Or keep it somewhere safe and sound for an emergency – this ammo can effectively neutralize a threat. This cartridge has a 55 grain bullet loaded to a muzzle velocity of 3,240 fps, which are virtually identical specs to the U.S. Army’s own M193 ammunition. As a full metal jacket this bullet is not designed to expand inside of soft tissue. Its ability to deliver more than four times the minimum recommended energy for self-defense at close range does a great deal to compensate for that, however. The nonmagnetic bullet consists of a solid lead core and gilding metal jacket, a cost-effective design which still promotes smooth feeding and cleaner performance in a semi-automatic firearm. This new production ammunition features brass cases, which remain valuable as handloading components once fired. Its primers are non-corrosive to prevent rust from taking hold in a rifle, and its propellant is prepared to prevent rapid carbon fouling in the barrel.

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.
