Winchester Frangible 50 Grain 5.56x45mm Ammo - 1000 Rounds

While it is adopted by the NATO alliance, the civilian applications of the 5.56X45 NATO cartridge has made it one of the most common utilized rounds in the US. While it is an almost ubiquitous presence at outdoor ranges, its hyper velocity often makes it a problem cartridge for indoor ranges as well as for use by security forces in an indoor or enclosed environment. The result is an increasing call for frangible ammunition that disintegrates when hitting a solid surface, but still delivers terminal ballistics on intended, “soft” targets. Winchester’s 50 grain fragmenting round leaves the muzzle at 3000 ft per sec with 899 ft lbs of energy. This is an ideal indoor training cartridge as well as a suitable source for interior defense. It should be noted, however, that “frangible” does not mean the cartridge is “quieter.”

As one of the worlds most recognized names in firearms as well as one of the largest manufacturers of ammunition, Winchester has made and continues to fill large shoes when it comes to dependable munitions for both sporting enthusiasts as well as professional service personnel. The company’s brass continues to be trusted by handloaders as well, offering additional barter value in spent brass for those who do not reload themselves but know others who do.
