Rifle Ammos Descriptions

7.62x51 - 147 Grain FMJ M80 - Armscor - 200 Rounds

M80 firecrackers are good for blowing up mailboxes and scaring your neighbors. (Two things we strongly advise against ever doing.) But M80 ammo is perfect for target shooting with a 7.62x51 or 308 Win rifle. We would absolutely recommend that you do that, which is why we’re offering cases of 7.62x51 ammo by Armscor! This cartridge’s 147 grain FMJ projectile is designed to shoot clean and straight. Its jacket has a cannelure to prevent the bullet from shifting out of its seating during recoil, and the sleek profile and balanced weight it needs to hug a level trajectory. One word of caution with this bullet, though: Its jacket does contain steel. That doesn’t impact its ballistics – heck, it may even help as it prevents deformation – but it does make this ammo magnetic. Armscor loads this particular 7.62x51 ammo at their headquarters in the Philippines. They gave it their reloadable brass cases, which are brand new and only discolored because they were annealed without getting buffed up afterward, as well as non-corrosive Boxer primers.

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.
