Sterling 5.56 M193 55Gr Fmj 30/1500

Sterling 5.56 M193 55gr FMJ ammunition is a straightforward, reliable choice for shooters who want proven performance at the range or in the field. This is classic M193 specification ammo—the original 5.56 NATO round—loaded to 3200 fps with a 55-grain full metal jacket bullet. Whether you're training with an AR-15, zeroing a new rifle, or running high-volume practice, M193 delivers the consistency you need without fuss or expense.

Each box contains 30 rounds of brass-cased, boxer-primed ammunition built to function reliably in any modern 5.56 NATO rifle. The full metal jacket design feeds smoothly through semi-auto and bolt-action platforms alike, and the non-corrosive primer means you can shoot without worrying about accelerated bore erosion. At 3200 fps, you're getting the velocity that M193 is known for—fast enough for hunting small game or varmints out to moderate range, and energetic enough for serious training sessions.

If you shoot a lot and shoot often, buying 5.56 M193 in bulk keeps you supplied without premium pricing. Thirty rounds per box makes it easy to stack for the range or rotate through your training rotation. This is the kind of ammo that just works—no drama, no surprises, just rounds that go bang when you press the trigger.
