800rds – 5.56x45 OMPC 62gr. FMJ SS109 Ammo in Ammo Can

OMPC 62 Grain Penetrator Ammo Details

Have you ever wondered what the difference between M855 and SS109 ammunition is? We can settle that for you right here and now: They’re the same exact thing. SS109 is just what people outside of America call the ammo that’s so popular for AR-15s and other rifles chambered for 5.56x45.

This 5.56 ammo by OMPC is loaded with a 62 grain FMJ – a little heavier than the usual weight of 55 grains, and accordingly able to retain greater momentum over longer ranges. Like the M855, the SS109 bullet’s defining feature is its steel tipped core. This renders the bullet strong enough to punch through barriers although it also makes the bullet able to attract a magnet. Make sure your range is cool with that before you take this ammo there!

OMPC stands for Oman Munition Production Company. The Middle Eastern ammo manufacturer is ISO certified and loads their ammo to strict NATO specs. This ammo accordingly features reloadable brass cases, non-corrosive Boxer primers, and propellant that will reliably ignite at temperatures ranging from -65.2 to 129.2 °F.

This ammo is packaged in a new military-style ammo can. It’s a rugged little number thanks to its seam-welded steel construction, and its rubber gasket will lock out humidity and other contaminants that aren’t good for ammo.
