Federal 5.56x45mm 62gr Green Tip FMJ Ammo

The Federal 5.56x45mm 62gr Green Tip FMJ load (Federal part no. FC855) is loaded to the M855 specification, easily identified by the green-tipped bullet that signals its steel-core penetrator construction. Federal builds this round on brass cases for reliable extraction and the option to reload once the brass is fired. The 62-grain bullet’s steel core gives it a harder penetrator tip than standard lead-core ball ammunition, a real advantage against certain barriers. It is a dependable option among rifle ammunition for AR-15 shooters who want mil-spec ball performance.
