We proudly offer several foreign manufacturers’ 5.56 NATO for sale on CheaperThanDirt.com. We say if Serbia or the Czech Republic wants to send AR-15 ammo to the United States, let ‘em.

But we’ll always be fondest of the American-made stuff – precisely like what Federal Premium of Minnesota offers under their acclaimed American Eagle brand.

These are essentially M193 spec cartridges: loaded with 55 grain full metal jacket projectiles (nonmagnetic), with a close enough muzzle velocity. The FMJ bullet’s not built for terminal expansion, and isn’t suitable for deer hunting, and isn’t used by law enforcement outside of training ranges. Its speciality is target shooting, which it does with consistent accuracy and for a price that won’t invert your purse.

American Eagle ammo has never been remanufactured. Its cases are brand new, and its Boxer primers and propellant are both fresh out of the factory they were made in.
