5.56 NATO LAKE CITY 62 GRAIN M855 GREEN TIP FULL METAL JACKET (1000 ROUNDS)
This loose-packed case of 5.56 NATO M855 ball ammo, made by Federal at Lake City Army Ammunition Plant in Independence, Missouri, is what the US military uses for "light armor piercing" applications. The heavy 62 grain full metal jacket bullet bears the M855's distinctive "green tip" and more than makes up for its reduced muzzle velocity with the added weight. These rounds, which use non-corrosive Boxer primers and reloadable brass cases, make a great range load for your AR-15 and may work in other .223 Remington firearms, depending on the manufacturer specifications. Pick up this 1,000 round case for a great deal on mil-spec ammo!AmmoMan.com covers the cost of shipping and handling for all orders over $99. You pay only the list price, with no hidden fees lying in wait at checkout.

Posted onI bought many many rounds a couple years ago, shot hundreds, stockpiled the rest for SHTF. They ain't shiny, a bit dirty, about 1 in 50 has a shell crease that makes me uncomfortable and I only dare use in a bolt rifle. It is what it is. As always, Ammoman is great.

be careful

Posted onThese rounds shoot just as fine as others but be careful, the 855 is first wrapped with steel around lead. Good for private ranges but if you go to a range that has concerns about ricochets such as Mo. Dept. of Cons. ranges you will be turned away. They check ammo with a magnet, now your screwed.

The loads are so accurate I pull the FMJ's out and put hunting bullets in them with out measuring the powder. I was measuring it for a while but got tired of it never being off at all. I wont shoot any thing else !!! Thanks for doing such a Good job Lake City Federal Employee's .

AmmoMan.com stocks ammo from more than a dozen brands, from Winchester ammunition and other major U.S. manufacturers to imported steel-cased options. Match an ammo brand to caliber, budget, and use case below, then shop the in-stock selection. Every listing shows the regular price and the unit price (cost per round), so it's easy to compare brands before checkout. Orders over $99 ship free, and returning customers earn rewards on every order, whether buying a single box or stocking up in bulk.
How to Choose an Ammo Brand
Match the Brand to Your Caliber
Not every brand makes every caliber. Winchester and Federal cover the widest range: pistol, rifle, rimfire, and shotgun. Wolf and Tula run steel-cased rifle ammo in 7.62x39 and 5.45x39 at a lower cost per round. Speer and Hornady are the go-to names for defensive handgun loads. Start on the caliber page for the specific firearm, then compare which brands are in stock and at what price per round.
AmmoMan.com breaks stock down by caliber as well as by brand. Shoppers who already know what they're loading can go straight to that caliber's page and compare brands there: 9mm ammo, 10mm ammo, 40 S&W ammo, 45 ACP ammo, 223/5.56 ammo, 308 ammo, 7.62x39 ammo, and 300 Blackout ammo each list current stock and price per round across every brand carried in that caliber. Coming back the other way works too. A shooter who likes a brand's 9mm load can check this page to see whether that same brand also makes ammo for their rifle.
Match the Brand to Your Use Case
Range and training ammo is a cost-per-round game. Wolf, Magtech, and PMC are the common picks for high-volume shooting and sport shooting leagues that go through a case at a time. Personal defense and duty ammo is judged on terminal performance instead: Federal HST, Speer Gold Dot, and Hornady Critical Defense are the names that show up most in that category. Hunting ammo depends on the game and the caliber, with Federal, Winchester, and Hornady all running dedicated hunting lines. Precision and competition shooting runs on a different standard: round-to-round consistency matters more than price per round. Black Hills built its reputation on match-grade accuracy, and Winchester's newer Supreme Long Range line targets that same long-distance crowd. Once a brand fits the caliber and budget, check current stock before checkout, since availability shifts often.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most reliable ammo brand?
Reliability depends on caliber and application. For personal defense, Federal, Speer, and Hornady all have strong track records in law enforcement testing. For range training, PMC, Magtech, and Winchester White Box run consistently across a wide range of firearms, from sport shooting leagues to weekend range trips.
Is foreign-made ammo as good as American-made ammo?
Foreign manufacturers like Sellier & Bellot, Fiocchi, Magtech, and Prvi Partizan build to the same SAAMI or CIP pressure standards as American brands, and they're widely used for range training. Some shooters still prefer American-made brass-cased ammo for hunting and personal defense. U.S. and other NATO forces even use ammo made by foreign brands like PMC in the Pacific.
What's the difference between steel-cased and brass-cased ammo brands?
Steel-cased ammo brands like Wolf and Tula cost less per round and hold up fine for high-volume range days, though steel cases don't reload as well as brass. Brass-cased ammo brands, including Federal, Winchester, PMC, and Hornady, cost more but run cleaner and stand up better to reloading. For personal defense or hunting, brass-cased ammo is the safer default. For a weekend at the range, steel-cased ammo saves money without giving up much.
Which brands are best for buying in bulk?
Case-quantity pricing matters most for range and training rounds fired by the hundreds, and Wolf, Tula, PMC, and Magtech all price down as quantity goes up. Orders over $99 ship free no matter which brands end up in the cart, so combining brands into one order beats checking out separately. Manufacturers also run mail-in rebate promotions from time to time, so it can pay to check for a current rebate on a given brand before buying.
Does brand matter more than bullet type?
Bullet type, like FMJ, JHP, or soft point, usually matters more than brand for picking the right ammo for the job. Once the bullet type is set, the brand choice is really about reliability and price per round.
Stock turns over as each brand runs through production, so the fastest way to find the right ammo brand for a specific gun is to filter by caliber and check what's currently in stock above.
