5.0 Rating Great Penetration - 1/27/2013Ammo 5.56x45mm NATO Lake City 62 Grain SS109 Penetrator Green Tip 3025 fps 20 Round Box XM8555.0000
Reviewer: BZG
I love this ammo for what it was designed for, penetrating. I bought quarter inch, half inch, and full inch steel plates from a scrap yard. This ammo easily penetrated through the .25 and .50 inch plates at around 50 yards. It could not penetrate one inch of steel, but even my Mossin Nagant/M44 7.62/54mm AP rounds can't do this..
4.0 Rating Good shooting ammo - 1/14/2013Ammo 5.56x45mm NATO Lake City 62 Grain SS109 Penetrator Green Tip 3025 fps 20 Round Box XM8554.0000
Reviewer: Matt
While the price was rather high (given the current political climate), I purchased a few boxes to try. Was not disappointed. Good ammo with great down range performance. I did quickly wipe down each round to remove whatever dirt or grime there may have been...and yes more than a few had some black gunk on them towards the top of the casing. Otherwise, the ammo was in good shape. And I really enjoyed sending these rounds down range.
3.0 Rating Pro vs Con - 11/10/2012Ammo 5.56x45mm NATO Lake City 62 Grain SS109 Penetrator Green Tip 3025 fps 20 Round Box XM8553.0000
Reviewer: Bonzano
I purchased about 200 rounds of this ammunition. I fired this ammo from a Sig Sauer 516 18" barrel with a 1:7 twist. Here are the pros and cons I found: PROS - relatively cheap (compared to ammo that has the same characteristics), penetrates very well, no misfeeds or FTFs, shoots well out of a 1:7 barrel. CONS - @150 yrds I was getting 2" groups consistently, dented brass (I have heard some brass is so dented it is unusable but I personally have not experienced this). This is good ammo, unless you want accuracy, are picky about brass, or need more wound damage. I give it three bullets because the accuracy is horrible and dented brass.

Reviewer: Josh
Great stuff. It's super accurate through my AR with a 16" bull barrel. Less than an inch grouping @ 100 yds and punching holes though 1/4" steel like it's paper.
4.0 Rating Good shooting ammo - 6/7/2012Ammo 5.56x45mm NATO Lake City 62 Grain SS109 Penetrator Green Tip 3025 fps 20 Round Box XM8554.0000
Reviewer: Dustin
Ammo shoots well. No matter if you buy it because you want some penetrator ammo or just cheap ammo to shoot, this is good ammo. In my particular guns, it seems to be a little more accurate than most military ammo.
