Federal Lake City 5.56 62gr ammo

[Reno_Morris]

Does anyone have experience with this ammo? Just wondering if it's worth buying.

That's all I try to buy for my 1:8 twist it's great stuff.I'm also in the Marine Corps and that's the round we use worth the money.

[U.S. Patriot]

Good stuff.

I've been using it in a heavy bbl AR and it shoots very well, Also I have the nikon M223 scope and the trajectory seems to fall within the markers on the scope, So since its going for 279.99/k then its worth buying, hard to load it and include your time for a significant savings.

Never had any issues with it!!!

ammo

great stuff I have ran 1200 rounds in the last couple of months with out one problem i usually pick it up for 160 a can

 

[Reno_Morris]

I have seen some good deals. Anyone know of a really cheap place to buy it? Also what's the difference between the ones marked "not for duty use" and the ones not marked that way?

62 grain

I've shot the crap out of this stuff and it is great. You should try to only shoot it in a barrel with 1 in 9 twist or greater so the bullet can stabalize.

5.56

my understanding is the cans marked not for duty use are out of date. check arms list there is a guy there selling new at 160.00 per can

A few months ago I did some testing of .223 ammunition in an AR platform.

The 62 grain LC performed very well! It shot with the same accuracy as several loadings with match/premium bullets.
