Description
These are XM855 cartridges from Federal’s American Eagle line of ammunition, which are frequently more descriptively called “penetrators.†They owe their ability to easily pierce obstacles such as sheet metal or auto glass to their 62 grain bullets’ steel tips, which are painted green to prevent confusion. The XM855’s bullet will not expand as it enters a soft target, but it will fragment under the right circumstances, and its boat tail design amplifies its ballistic coefficient so that it can deliver a flatter trajectory.
rFour hundred twenty XM855 cartridges are a good thing to stow away whether you would count on them for self-defense one day or you eventually get the opportunity to plink with the aid of a junker car. In either event, you can count on the steel ammo can that Federal packages these rounds in to keep them safe from corrosive water and other contaminants until you’re ready for them. These rounds’ casings offer even greater value, as they are made of brass and perfect for the reloading press.
