5.56×45 – 62 Grain FMJBT – Prvi Partizan M855 – 1000 Rounds (32.5¢ per round)

Perfect for use with your AR-15 on the range or when plinking, this 5.56x45mm full metal jacket boat tail (FMJBT) ammunition is manufactured by Prvi Partizan and available at an incredible value in this 1000-round bulk case. The 62-grain FMJBT projectile has a narrow boat tail design intended to improve the accuracy of your shot, while the full metal jacket lessens the buildup of lead deposits in your barrel’s rifling over time; ideal for the dedicated shooter who spends all day at the range. The Boxer-primed brass casings are heat-treated near the neck for reloaders who aim to get the most value out of each cartridge.

Prvi Partizan is located in Uzice, Serbia, and they have been selling their ammunition worldwide to various military and police organizations, including their own, since 1928. They manufacture this 5.56mm ammo according to NATO M855 military specifications which call for harder primers, moisture-resistant primer sealant, and lightly penetrating “green tip” SS109 projectiles. A muzzle velocity and energy of 3050 FPS and 1281 ft/lbs ensures performance that is consistent with common practice ammo.

Make sure to verify your rifle is chambered for 5.56x45mm ammunition before shooting. Rifles chambered for .223 Winchester ammunition are not suitable for the more powerful 5.56x45mm, and you should verify with the manufacturer of your weapon if you have additional questions.

5.56×45 – 55 gr FMJBT XM193 – Federal American Eagle – 500 Rounds (34.8¢ per round)

In 1922 Charles Horn came across a failing factory and decided to attempt to save it. At that time the factory had been in business for six years already and was producing only small arms ammunition. Horn founded Federal with a simple marketing plan: sell ammunition in barber shops, gas stations, and grocery stores. It isn’t something that can be done now, but back then it worked like a charm and Federal immediately took off. Over the years Federal has been awarded an Army-Navy “E” for excellence for their part supplying our military with ammunition and has seen Olympic shooters win gold medals using their ammunition. Today Federal is definitely a leader in the industry; Charles Horn would be proud.

These Federal rounds are for your 5.56x45mm NATO-chambered rifle. At 55 grain they’re very lightweight so they’re going to move to your target with lightning speed, but don’t let their lighter weight fool you, because they’re still capable of punching an impressive hole in your stationary targets. These are Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail (FMJBT) rounds, so they don’t expand on impact. Their Boat Tails give them increased resistance to cross-winds and help them maintain a balanced trajectory, making them a good choice for longer-range shots. This ammunition is great for target practice and plinking.

Each of these rounds moves with fantastic speed at a muzzle velocity of 3,165 feet per second. There are 500 target rounds in this box of ammunition which is a nice amount for dedicating serious time to honing your marksmanship skills with your favorite rifle. With this much ammunition you can spend focused time working on accuracy, shot placement, and firing from a variety of positions, and your skills are bound to improve. Federal manufactures ammunition at their longtime plant in Anoka, Minnesota, and all ammunition undergoes extensive testing and strict quality control measures. If you’re serious about improving your marksmanship you want this high-quality, American-made ammunition. Don’t wait another second, order now.

5.56×45 – 55 gr FMJBT M193 – Prvi Partizan – 1000 Round Ammo Can (34.5¢ per round)

This is an awesome product from Prvi Partizan. This military grade ammo can as packed full of 1000 rounds of PPU 5.56x45mm ammo. The 55 grain full metal jacket boat-tail ammo in non-corrosive brass cases matches the NATO spec for M193 ammunition. M193 ammo is used by NATO military units for training purposes and does not contain the ‘steel penetrator’ component of the bullet’s relative the M855. The M193 round was the first to be adopted by NATO troops for the AR-15 platform and is closely based on the 55 grain FMJ-BT version of the .223 Remington cartridge. The M193 was chosen by NATO over the 7.62x51mm NATO as it produces far less recoil for the modern lightweight service rifles they began to use in the mid 20th century. The success of the 5.56x45mm cartridge has been immense, and the ammunition and firearms industry has not developed a cartridge to unseat it as the most practical and popular rifle cartridge since that time.

Prvi Partizan ammo is made in Serbia and its name is derived from the Yugoslav Partisans who led the resistance against the Axis in then German-occupied Yugoslavia. The Partisans, the Soviet Red Army, and the Bulgarian People’s Army rallied together to force the German Wehrmacht to cede control and retreat from Belgrade, which was then the capital of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The Prvi Partizan fabrika was the name of the Resistance’s ammunition works, and the name was retained when the operations moved to Uzice, where PPU operates today.

5.56×45 – 62 Grain M855 FMJ-BT – Prvi Partizan Ammo Can – 1000 Rounds (35.0¢ per round)

These military-grade loads are perfect for range work and practice days with your AR-15 or any other rifle chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO. Prvi Partizan packages this ammunition in a steel ammo can which features a closing latch, a foldable carry handle, and reinforced molding which facilitates vertical stacking in storage. The lid of the can is lined with a compressible rubber gasket which protects the contents from moisture and dust. Each cartridge inside follows the M855 standard and is made with a non-corrosive Boxer primer fitted to a reloadable brass casing which has been heat-treated for strength. The case is crimped to a 62-grain SS109 projectile that is made with a full metal jacket boat-tail (FMJ-BT) profile.

As an M855 load, the FMJ-BTs features penetrating tips made from mild steel that shouldn’t be fired indoors or against steel targets (that you intend to keep). This particular cartridge profile is currently the most common choice for U.S. military forces and has a ton of support by way of ballistics apps, drop compensation tables, and easy-to-range scope reticles. Prvi Partizan was founded in 1928 and manufactures ammunition for both Serbia and its allies. Their commercial ammo is recognized for fair prices, consistent quality, and obscure calibers that can’t be found elsewhere.
