Technical Specifications

Deep Dive

Overview

This 5.56mm NATO ammunition is tailored for individuals who partake in a variety of shooting disciplines, particularly those who require ammunition with increased penetration abilities. It's popularly used for training at ranges and drills that simulate close-quarters combat situations. Due to its construction, it effectively mimics the conditions and reactions expected in real-world applications, making it an attractive option for law enforcement and military training exercises.

History and Development

The development of the 5.56mm NATO cartridge began in the mid-20th century as military professionals sought options that provided better performance at greater distances than the 7.62mm rounds. The Federal American Eagle line specifically accommodates this format, offering products crafted to exacting military standards for both civilian and professional use. The consistency in quality, owing to the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant, ensures that shooters receive the most reliable options available on the market.

Common Questions and FAQs

  • Can this ammunition be used in my .223 Remington rifle?
    While similar, 5.56mm NATO rounds are generally loaded to higher pressures and should only be used in rifles marked as compatible with 5.56 NATO to ensure safety.
  • Does this ammo have a green tip?
    Yes, the XM855 designation typically includes a green tip, indicating a steel-core penetrator for enhanced performance.
  • How is this ammunition packaged, and are bulk options available?
    This ammunition is sold in a bulk package containing 1,000 rounds, perfect for high-volume shooters seeking convenience and value.
  • What safety measures should I take when using this ammo?
    Ensure you are using proper ear and eye protection, verify your firearm is chambered for 5.56mm NATO, and be aware of your range's regulations regarding steel-core projectiles.
  • Can I use this ammunition for hunting?
    While it is primarily designed for training and tactical use, its specifications allow it to be used in certain hunting applications where barrier penetration is needed, although other munitions may be preferred for hunting.
  • Do you offer any purchasing programs or discounts?
    Target Sports USA offers free shipping on bulk ammunition purchases and additional benefits through the AMMO+ membership program.

Response:prices change very often in ammo business.
Question:I ordered a box of 1000 of these last august and just got around to opening it to start loading some magazines and the ones I received don’t have the green tips, is that normal? Are they still steel core? Or are they the 55 grain in the wrong box? - Vince (02/21/2020)

Response:Hi Richard, YES this Federal XM855 5.56mm ammo features a green tip steel core FMJ Penetrator bullet. Thank you for buying bulk 5.56mm ammunition at TargetSportsUSA.com
Question:How do you find the rebate - Robert (10/03/2019)
Response:Hi Robert, the rebate ended few days ago, September 30th. If you bough this 5.56mm ammo before the rebate you can go to this site and claim it there: https://promotions.vistaoutdoor.com/EN/US/Home/Brand/16
Question:I see the questions that ask about availability and that the alternate TS branded is identical, but the description does NOT bear that out. The XM855CSF indicates that: o - is loaded to Military specification at the Lake City facility. o - Federal SS109 ammo is currently used by the United States Military for combat The M855BK says: o - is made to Target Sports USA specifications typical for commercial ammunition. o - but also indicates that it's loaded to NATO specs o - says nothing about using virgin brass casings like the XM855CSF o - produced WITH the same ammo used by US Military, not that it's the same as. Although lower in the description it does say currently used by US Military o - based on the picture, doesn't have a green tip o - price for unavailable XM8555CSF is 299.99, TS branded is not lower at $319.99 save for the instant rebate. Unless this implies that the 'new and improved' price for XM855CSF will be coming in higher like the increases on all other quantities in past month or so if and when it is available again. Bottom line, is the TS branded really identical [minus the green tip of course}? Thanks - Paul (08/21/2019)
Response:Hi Paul, we will fix the description to be identical in terms of the specs and quality since both SKU's are identical. The painted tip is something that Federal has Lake City do and that is branded just for them, same ammo though. The instant rebate is just so it is in conjunction with the Federal Ammo. Instant Rebate just means you get this ammo for $50.00 less right of way :-)
Question:When is this going to be back in stock? - Dyreck (08/20/2019)
Response:Hi Dyreck, We have no ETA on this bulk XM855 Federal Lake City ammo, however we do have this same exact ammo from Lake City at a lower price and instant rebate as well. Here is the link: https://www.targetsportsusa.com/target-sports-lake-city-ammo-556x45mm-m855-ammo-62-grain-full-metal-jacket-boat-tail-penetrator-m855bk-p-109819.aspx
Question:Do you anticipate getting more of this bulk ammo before the rebate expires? Thanks! - Kurt (08/20/2019)

Question:I was under the impression that all American Eagle XM855 was the same except for the packaging. I normally buy XM855BK150 which lists the muzzle velocity as 3020 while this lists it as 3290 which is even more than the M193. Is this a misprint or something? - William (07/22/2019)
Response:Hi William YES you are correct, all M855 ammo is made by Lake City and it is the same, except for the packaging. It could be that when ballistics were recorded for that particular lot, where a bit different etc. Than you for buying XM855 5.56mm ammo online at TargetSportsUSA.com

Response:Hi Josef, this Federal American Eagle 5.56mm NATO Ammo 62 Grain Green Tip Penetrator 1000 Rounds Bulk ammunition comes in a cardboard box with a plastic bag inside, loose 1000 rounds. Thank you for buying 5.56mm ammo online at TargetSportsUSA.com
Question:It is Aug 5, 2018. What is the date of production for this bulk ammo? Also, are the rounds just loose in the bag or is the bag vacuum sealed so the rounds are not continually banging into each other? - Steve (08/05/2018)
Response:Hi Steve, the production year of this Federal American Eagle 5.56mm NATO Ammo 62 Grain Green Tip Penetrator 1000 Rounds Bulk ammo is 2018, however they are not vacuum sealed, just loose placed in ammo can.
Question:I have been a long time customer but unfortinately I live in California. A new law kicked in at the start of this year that prevents purchases of ammo from you to be shipped directly to my house like the old days. Instead it had to be to an FFL dealer. I found a couple gunshops that will accept the ammo but they are charging ridiculous fees. For example, many are charging $ 1.00 for every pound that the package weighs. So if I order a box of 1000 rouds of 45acp, the box weighs almost 15 kilo's. Thats $30.00 fee for that box. Would you happen to know any vendors that are reasonable and that are near my house. I live at 1940 North Altadena Drive, Pasadena Ca, 91107. - Juan (07/16/2018)
Response:Good Afternoon Juan. Thank you for your inquiry. For a list of participating vendors on our website, please click on the following link https://www.targetsportsusa.com/dealers.aspx The majority of participating vendors are indeed charging a transfer fee of some sort. We do sincerely apologize for the inconvenience of this. We hope that you still will continue to do business with us in the future.
Question:Is this ammo okay for range paper punching or will a gun club have a bird for shooting this??? - Daniel (07/02/2018)
Response:Hi Daniel, this Federal American Eagle 5.56mm NATO Ammo 62 Grain Green Tip Penetrator 1000 Rounds Bulk ammo does feature a steel core FMJ bullet, so it would be better to check with the gun range first. Thank you for buying 5.56mm ammo online at TargetSportsUSA.com
Question:I'm trying to complete the rebate for the federal ammunition I purchased the 556 62 grain green tip thousand bulk rounds the xm855CS and I was just wondering on quantity on the rebate form how much to put down because there is no boxes. Thank you. - Rick (11/01/2017)
Response:Hi Rick, this Federal American Eagle 5.56mm NATO Ammo 62 Grain Green Tip Penetrator 1000 Rounds Bulk is packaged 1 box with 1000 rounds. If you need further help with the rebate, please call us during our normal business hours Monday through Friday 9am-5pm EST. Thank you for visiting TargetSportsUSA.com
