1000 Rounds of 5.56x45 Ammo by Winchester - 62gr FMJ Green Tip

Great target ammo. Reasonably priced, very reliable. I use it all the time. (Posted on 6/1/2023)

Buyer beware, this ammo was poorly dipped, lumps of green paint on many tips vs a uniform light coat. Its also very poorly crimped. Inconsistent seating of the bullet in the casing as well. I bought 2000 rounds of this BS. (Posted on 7/14/2019)

This is nato ammo. Not as awesome as the higher end ammo available but it's not crap either. Never had misfeeds or malfunctions and accuracy is decent. (Posted on 8/7/2016)

Reliability. I purchased this ammunition for range use in CQB style training scenarios using an IWI Tavor rifle with the 18” barrel and a 3.5 MOA Red Dot tactical optic. This ammunition was 100% reliable with zero FTF/FTE. However, I have conducted extensive testing with a total of 11 different brands and/or weights of 5.56 for this particular rifle and I have never had a FTF or FTE with any of them. I believe this is a testament to the incredible reliability of the Tavor platform vs the quality of any particular brand of ammunition. Most of the ammunition with which I train is higher quality (read expensive), but even the cheapest ammunition tested has been 100% reliable. Consequently, over recent years, I ‘ve come to expect 100% reliability and actually see that particular trait as a standard performance characteristic of modern ammunition when used in a quality firearm vs some lofty goal that is only attained by purchasing expensive ammunition.

Cleanliness. I find this particular ammunition to be a middle of the pack performer in the cleanliness department. You will likely not be impressed nor disappointed by this round’s fouling effects.

Accuracy. The vast majority of my 5.56 shooting is conducted in relatively short distance training scenarios. However, accuracy testing is part of the regime through which all my training ammunition is evaluated. The tactical optic on my primary testing rifle (the Tavor) has a 3.5 MOA red dot. For those unfamiliar with this terminology, that means that at 100 yards my aiming point is not a set of fine precision cross hairs, but an approximately 3.5” red circle. This is an acceptable accuracy trade off in exchange to gain rapid target acquisition at closer ranges. Despite this long range accuracy hampering draw back of the chosen optic, I am pleased to report that at 100 yards, this particular rifle has averaged approximately a 2.6” collective grouping across the 11 brands/weights of ammunition tested thus far. The Winchester M855 has averaged approximately 4.9” in testing. As a comparison, the American Eagle/Lake City M855 has averaged approximately 5.2”, which is not a significant accuracy difference in my opinion. These disappointing numbers appear to be an aversion to M855 ammunition in general, not the 62 grain weight. This is based on the fact that the best accuracy was consistently achieved by the 64 grain Winchester Power Point hunting round. (Posted on 1/26/2016)
