Atlanta Arms Elite SBT 5.56mm 65gr Ammunition, 50-Round Box

Atlanta Arms Elite SBT 5.56mm 65gr ammunition (brand part no. E55665SBT) loads a Spitzer Boat Tail soft point bullet for shooters who want more downrange authority than a standard 55-grain 5.56 load offers. Atlanta Arms built this Elite line around consistent, reliable performance at extended range, and the 65-grain weight strikes a balance between speed and retained energy. The pointed spitzer nose and boat-tail base combine for a high ballistic coefficient, which flattens trajectory and cuts wind drift compared to a flat-base bullet. At a rated 2850 fps, this load is built for shooters who push their 5.56 rifles past typical carbine distances.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 5.56mm, running in standard AR-platform rifles.
• The bullet is a 65-grain Spitzer Boat Tail soft point, heavier than the common 55- and 62-grain 5.56 loadings.
• The soft point tip is designed to expand on impact, while the boat-tail base improves aerodynamics for a flatter flight path.
• A high ballistic coefficient reduces wind drift and helps the bullet retain velocity at extended distances.
• Muzzle velocity is rated at 2850 fps, giving this 65-grain load a flat trajectory out of a rifle-length barrel.
• Each box holds 50 rounds, with case quantities reaching 1000 rounds for volume shooters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does SBT mean on this ammunition? SBT stands for Spitzer Boat Tail, describing the bullet’s pointed nose and tapered base shape.

Does the 65-grain bullet expand? Yes, it is a soft point design built to expand on impact rather than pass through like a full metal jacket bullet.

How does the boat-tail base help accuracy? The tapered base reduces drag in flight, which helps the bullet hold velocity and resist wind drift at longer ranges.
