Winchester 5.56x45mm NATO 55gr FMJ Ammo - 1000 Round Box Bullet Drop and Load Data
Product Overview
Let's talk physics in motion - Winchester's 5.56 NATO load launches 55-grain pills at a blistering 3180 fps. That's enough speed to make your AR platform sing, delivering 1235 ft-lbs of pure authority downrange. These aren't just numbers though - they translate into flat trajectories and immediate target feedback that'll make you grin every time you squeeze the trigger. The traditional 55-grain weight means your 1:9 or 1:7 twist barrel will stabilize these rounds perfectly, whether you're running a vintage A2 or a modern carbine.
What makes this load particularly impressive is how it performs during extended range sessions. That consistent velocity means your holds stay the same from first shot to last, while the FMJ construction keeps your barrel clean even when you're burning through magazines like they're going out of style. Paper targets shred cleanly, steel plates ring with authority, and those pesky ground squirrels won't know what hit them. Finally - training ammunition that doesn't force you to choose between quantity and quality.
Buying by the thousand opens up serious training possibilities. Those weekend carbine courses that eat ammo like candy? Covered. Monthly 3-gun matches? You're set. Regular range sessions to keep your skills sharp? Absolutely. Winchester has packed these rounds in robust bulk packaging that's ready for the trunk of your truck or your storage room shelf. When you need to stock deep without mortgaging the farm, this is your ticket to trigger time that won't disappoint. Just don't be surprised when your shooting buddies start asking to "borrow" a few magazines worth.
