Design and Function

The full metal jacket construction—a soft lead core encased in a harder metal shell—ensures consistent trajectory and penetration while minimizing expansion. This design philosophy prioritizes reliability and predictable performance over expansion, making it well-suited for training, qualification courses, and extended range sessions.

The non-corrosive brass casing improves feed reliability and protects your rifle's chamber from the corrosive residue found in some military ammunition. The cases are reloadable, offering long-term value for handloaders.

What to Expect

As military-grade ammunition, Winchester USA M855 may display minor discoloration from the annealing process—this is completely normal and does not affect performance. Cases may show minor blemishes from bulk packing. Packaging may vary from product images.
