Frequently Asked Questions
AR-15 Ammo for sale
What ammo is used in the AR-15?
Most AR-15s fire 5.56 NATO or .223 Remington ammunition. Common bullet weights include 55-grain, 62-grain, and 77-grain rounds. Conversion uppers allow use of other calibers like 9mm, 5.7mm, .224 Valkyrie, 6mm ARC, and 6.5 Grendel. Note that .308 Winchester typically requires the larger AR-10 platform, not an AR-15 upper.
Is 556 or 223 better for AR?
Both work in AR-15s, but 5.56 NATO runs at higher pressure and delivers more velocity. .223 Remington is slightly less powerful but often cheaper. Many ARs use .223 Wylde chambers that safely handle both. Choose 5.56 for duty use, .223 for cost-conscious shooting or precision work.
Is .308 or 5.56 more powerful?
.308 Winchester delivers roughly double the kinetic energy of 5.56 NATO at the muzzle, with greater effective range and terminal performance. 5.56 offers lower recoil and lighter ammunition. Use .308 for big game or long-range shooting; 5.56 suits patrol, varmint hunting, and situations requiring more rounds carried.
Do police use 223 or 556?
Law enforcement agencies typically use 5.56 NATO in AR-15 platform patrol rifles. While .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO are nearly identical in dimensions, 5.56 operates at higher pressure. Many departments use duty-specific loads like Hornady TAP. Rifles chambered in 5.56 can safely fire .223, but the reverse is not recommended.
How much do 500 rounds of 556 cost?
Five hundred rounds of 5.56 NATO typically cost between $248 and $300, depending on brand, bullet weight, and whether the brass is new or remanufactured. Common brass-case options run roughly $248–$275, while premium loads can exceed $400.
What is the shelf life of 5.56 ammo?
Properly stored 5.56 ammo remains functional for decades. Manufacturers conservatively recommend use within ten years, but longevity depends heavily on storage conditions. Keep rounds cool, dry, and away from moisture and temperature swings. Full metal jacket rounds resist degradation better than hollow points. Poor storage can cause failure within a few years.
Can 5.56 ammo penetrate body armor?
Yes, 5.56 NATO can penetrate some body armor. Standard M855 struggles against modern rifle plates, but armor-piercing variants like M995 and M855A1 improve penetration. Soft armor rated for handgun rounds offers little resistance. Hard ceramic or steel plates rated NIJ Level III or IV provide significantly better protection.
Is 223 overkill for deer?
.223 is not overkill for deer—it's marginal. It can work with controlled-expansion bullets and precise shot placement at close range, but many hunters prefer larger calibers for more reliable energy transfer. Bullet choice, distance, and shot placement matter more than raw power.
