If you’ve been looking everywhere for good 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition, then you ought to have saved yourself some time and looked on CheaperThanDirt.com first. We’re flush with the stuff!

Case in point: this big package of Winchester USA 5.56 NATO. It was made by Winchester at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant (which Winchester manages on behalf of the government), and it has the visibly annealed (i.e. unpolished) brand new brass cases to prove it. Military-grade noncorrosive Boxer primers, too!

This is true M193 spec ammo. Its bullets therefore can’t be anything other than 55 grain full metal jackets, which are Americans’ most popular choice for target shooting and contain zero steel. FMJs also have precisely the effect you would hope for them to have on small game, making this ammo one of your more affordable options for varmint hunting. It’s excellent for stockpiling, too!
