	Excellent Target Ammo - 2/20/2013	Ammo 5.56 NATO Lake City XM855 FMJ 62 Grain Steel Penetrator 1000 Loose Bulk Case 3025 fps4.0000
Reviewer:	Ken

I've purchased this ammo a few times as I use a Knights Armaments M-4 platform for duty. The ammo has always been reliable, performed well with the rifle, and has been smooth feeding. It ISN'T pretty, or the most accurate ammo out there but there is no reason you can't get a 4 inch group at 200 yards.

	Great ammo - dependable - 1/17/2013	Ammo 5.56 NATO Lake City XM855 FMJ 62 Grain Steel Penetrator 1000 Loose Bulk Case 3025 fps5.0000
Reviewer:	Steve

I bought this at the end of 2011 and have shot it from time to time ever since, and it's great running through my S&W M&P. Never a problem after several hundred shots. Hopefully it becomes available again for a decent price.

	Best SHTF ammo out there - 1/13/2013	Ammo 5.56 NATO Lake City XM855 FMJ 62 Grain Steel Penetrator 1000 Loose Bulk Case 3025 fps4.0000
Reviewer:	Randy

If you expect to have a confrontation with an enemy force that may take cover behind brick walls, vehicles, etc. then that's what I'd think this ammo is built for. In my testing, this ammo will penetrate over 1/4" steel at 200m+, car engines, and brick walls. I can't say with any confidence/good conscious standard 5.56mm ammo is any good for the above purposes. In fact, I'd say it's just worthless. I wouldn't want to put my life on anything less than the M855, as I'm former military (infantry), so believe me that I'm giving sound advice. I'd like to deny that this ammo is any good and just horde it for myself, but people are buying it up at any cost because they know it's the best, even if it's XM855 (rejected for military/battlefield use - designated training only/dump on the civilian market). If you're just looking for some rounds for target practice or against a single home invader, please don't buy this ammo and let others have the opportunity to buy it who have more serious purposes in mind, such as SHTF scenarios. Also, always sight your weapon in with the ammo you primarily intend to use, or else accuracy will suffer in unpredictable ways. Also, the M855 round is designed to be used with the M856 when needed for tracing a path to the target at night, whether it be personal, vehicles, or aircraft.

Reviewer:	T11 burst~

I agree, I shoot a Noveske Lo Pro, with a 1:7 twist 16" barrel. The brass isn't gorgeous in bulk, but the round does its duty. I've not had one issue with the ammo.

Good ammo - no problems when used in our Sig Sauer or Windam.
