What is 5.56x45mm NATO Ammo?

The 5.56x45mm NATO is a high-velocity rifle cartridge developed in the late 1950s by the U.S. Army for the M16 rifle, later adopted by NATO in 1980. Known for its accuracy, light recoil, and versatility, it’s a top choice for AR-15 platforms. While similar to .223 Remington ammo, 5.56 NATO operates at higher pressure, so always check your rifle’s chamber markings to ensure safety. Our 5.56 ammo is ideal for target shooting, hunting, and home defense.

Types of 5.56x45mm NATO Ammo

Choosing the right 5.56 ammo depends on your shooting goals. Here are the main types we offer:

• Full Metal Jacket (FMJ): Perfect for target shooting and practice, FMJ rounds like our PMC X-Tac 5.56 NATO 55 Grain FMJ are affordable and reliable, penetrating targets without expanding. Pair them with Tannerite exploding targets for exciting range sessions.
• Green Tip (M855): Featuring a steel penetrator tip, these rounds are designed for light armor piercing, ideal for tactical scenarios. Shop our PMC 5.56 NATO 62 Grain Green Tip for enhanced performance.
• Hollow Point (HP): Great for home defense, HP rounds expand on impact to reduce over-penetration. Explore our hollow point 5.56 ammo for reliable stopping power.
• Open Tip Match (OTM): Designed for precision, OTM rounds are ideal for long-range shooting. Check out our OTM 5.56 ammo for competitive shooting.

Several factors influence the cost of 5.56x45mm NATO ammo:

• Market Demand and Supply: Prices rise during high-demand periods like hunting season or ammo shortages.
