5.56x45 - 55 Grain FMJ - Federal American Eagle - 400 Rounds in Ammo Can

Basic is good! This 5.56x45 ammunition by Federal doesn’t have a ton of bells and whistles that hike up its production costs. It’s just the regular ammo you want for target shooting, plinking, and training with an M4 or AR-15 rifle. At its heart, this is the same exact ammunition the U.S. Armed Forces would issue for use at the rifle range or in combat. Its bullet is a true FMJ, which is not designed for terminal expansion but will fragment apart if it hits soft tissue at close or medium range. This bullet’s gilding metal jacket conceals a solid lead core – there is no steel in the American-made bullet. Smooth feeding, clean performance, and good accuracy! This ammo is non-corrosive and Boxer primed. Its brass cases were manufactured at the government’s Lake City Army Ammunition Plant. Lake City anneals their brass to toughen it up, but they don’t polish it afterward. You’ll see the cosmetic annealing marks, but be certain that this ammo has new and reloadable cases. All 400 rounds come packaged together in a .30 cal ammo can. This container’s latch tightly seals its lid so its rubber gasket can lock out harmful moisture, and its seam-welded steel construction is designed to absorb all kinds of abuse without damaging the ammo. Pretty much exactly what you want if you plan to tuck this ammo somewhere safe instead of firing it right away!

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.
