The Magtech M193 Ball 5.56x45mm NATO 55gr FMJ, 50-Round Box (brand part no. 556A) is a 5.56x45mm NATO range and training load from Magtech Ammunition, priced and built for high-volume practice without sacrificing reliability. Each round drives a 55-grain full metal jacket (M193 mil-spec ball) bullet at roughly 3265 fps out of the muzzle. This is a straightforward choice for shooters who want range days and practice covered without guesswork.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 5.56x45mm NATO, a common, affordable chambering that keeps practice costs down.
• The bullet weighs 55 grains, a standard weight that mirrors common carry loads for realistic practice.
• The bullet is a full metal jacket (M193 mil-spec ball), a jacketed bullet built for reliable feeding and consistent practice.
• Because the jacket fully encloses the core, the bullet will not expand, so shot placement does the work instead of wound-channel size.
• Muzzle velocity runs about 3265 fps, consistent enough for predictable practice at the range.
• Each box holds 50 rounds, a practical count for a range session without constant reordering.
• The box ships at about 1.375 lb, handy for estimating flat-rate shipping on a bulk order.
