Hornady Black 5.56 NATO 62gr FMJ - Rifle Ammo - 20rd

Hornady Black 5.56 NATO 62gr FMJ was developed specifically for military-pattern AR-15 platforms — not adapted from a sporting or hunting load and tested to function. Bullet selection, gas system timing, and feed reliability were all evaluated in 5.56 direct impingement and piston hosts before this load shipped.

Mil-spec platform compatibility was designed in, not assumed. FMJ construction keeps the training cost manageable without sacrificing the feeding and extraction reliability that matters in a semi-automatic platform.

NATO-spec pressure — use only in 5.56 chambers, not .223 Rem chambers.

Consistent propellant charges keep extraction timing predictable in gas-operated semi-automatics across a full training session as chamber temperature climbs. Hornady Black is held to the same dimensional and pressure standards as the rest of the Hornady ammunition catalog.

Built for military-spec training, duty carbines, and semi-automatic range work. A versatile choice for 5.56 NATO shooters who want one load that handles training, defensive applications, and field use without rotating between SKUs for different activities.

Hornady Black is manufactured in the USA — the same Grand Island, Nebraska facility and the same quality controls that govern every other Hornady product.
