Barnes Bullets Precision Match 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition is engineered for shooters who demand consistency and reliability when precision counts. Loaded with match-grade 85-grain open tip match (OTM) projectiles featuring a boat tail design, these rounds are built for accuracy at extended distances. Whether you're competing at the range, training for duty, or pushing your rifle's capability, Precision Match delivers the tight velocity and weight tolerances that separate competitive ammunition from standard commercial loads.

Barnes manufactures these rounds to exacting standards that minimize velocity spread and variation—critical factors when you're dialing in for distance or competing against tight groups. The OTM boat tail projectile design contributes high ballistic coefficient, flattening trajectory and reducing wind drift on long shots. Each box includes a QR code that pulls up Doppler radar-generated drop tables specific to that load, so you can dial your scope with data tailored to your exact ammunition.

This is a 20-round box, making it ideal for match preparation, serious practice sessions, or load development work. If you shoot 5.56 NATO and care about precision, Precision Match ammunition is built for the confidence that comes with knowing your ammo will perform consistently every time you press the trigger.
