Fort Scott Munitions 556-055-SCVFNRA Range Ammo 5.56NATO 80gr Solid Copper Flat Nose 500rds

Fort Scott Munitions 556-055-SCVFNRA Range Ammo delivers reliable 5.56 NATO centerfire rifle rounds built around an 80-grain solid copper flat-nose projectile. This 500-round case is engineered for shooters who want consistent performance at the range without the premium cost of match-grade ammunition. Solid copper construction means you're getting a projectile that's designed to perform reliably downrange, while the flat-nose profile offers a different ballistic profile than traditional spitzer rounds—useful if you're testing load behavior or prefer the terminal characteristics a blunt nose provides.

Whether you're zeroing a new rifle, running drills, or putting volume downrange to build familiarity with your platform, this Fort Scott offering gives you quantity and consistency in one box. The 500-round pack size makes it practical for serious training sessions where you don't want to break the supply chain mid-session. Solid copper ammunition also appeals to shooters at ranges with specific environmental or contamination policies, since these rounds won't shed lead particles into the berm.

Fort Scott Munitions has built a reputation among shooters who care about what goes into their brass. The 80-grain weight and flat-nose design make this distinct from typical 55- or 62-grain military-spec loads, so if you're familiar with heavier or differently-profiled ammunition, expect a different point-of-impact and recoil impulse. Verify your rifle's compatibility with this cartridge and test-fire in a safe, controlled setting before committing to high-volume shooting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this ammunition work in my standard AR-15?

This Fort Scott round is loaded to 5.56 NATO specification, so it will chamber and fire in any rifle chambered for 5.56 NATO, including most modern AR-15s. Always verify your rifle's specifications before firing any new load, and do a function check with the first few rounds in a safe environment.

What's the difference between this 80-grain flat-nose and standard military-weight ammunition?

The 80-grain weight and flat-nose profile differ significantly from typical 55-grain (M193) or 62-grain (M855) military ammunition. This means a different point-of-impact, different velocity, and different recoil impulse. Your zero established with other loads will not apply directly, so re-zero your scope or iron sights when you transition to this ammunition.

Is this ammunition lead-free?

Yes. The solid copper construction means no lead in the projectile, making it compliant with ranges and hunting areas that restrict lead ammunition.

How much is in one package?

Each package contains 500 rounds, shipped as a full case.
