Black Hills Ammunition 5.56 NATO 77gr MK262 MOD 1-C

Back in 1999, at the request of the U.S. Navy Black Hills Ammunition began the process of developing the 5.56mm military precision round. Eventually, after extensive development and even more extensive field testing, that idea became the only one of its kind fielded and used with great effect by the greatest military in the world.  And in the spirit of pushing limits, these rounds come with the same no-nonsense lot acceptance accuracy test (10 groups of ten shots each at 300 yards) provided on military lots. No lot will ship unless it shoots sub 2″ groups (.64 MOA maximum/10 shot groups).  Like the original, the new MK262 Mod1-C commercial round features the exact construction and performance specs of the U.S. Military round.

Black Hills produces factory new ammunition equal to some of the best handloads and is quickly becoming one of most popular manufacturers of ammunition. Used primarily by all branches of the United State military, this ammunition is also used by competitive shooters and hunters. This 5.56 load was developed for AR-15 platform firearms. This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in boxer primed, reloadable brass cases.

Please Note: While the 5.56x45mm will fit in a .223 Remington chamber, the 5.56 is a military round that runs at higher pressures than its .223 counterpart and is not recommended to be fired in a .223 Remington chamber.
