Anyone have any information on this "new" 5.56 ammo?
The blubs I've seen say:
This is 5.56 Federal Lake City XMT556TNB1 62gr. Open Tip Match Ammo.....
5.56 Federal MK318 MOD-0 62gr. Special Operations Science and Technology (SOST) Open Tip Match Ammo....
This new SOST round from ATK was designed for the USMC as a supplemental round to M855 green tip with more desirable terminal characteristics, and it must be used in a 5.56 chambered weapon...
Designated as MK318 MOD-0 the round was designed as a barrier defeating round with superior penetration and good ballistic stability. MK318 utilizes a 62 grain open tip boat tail match bullet with a lead core and reverse copper jacket creating the open tip....
Found some that is labelled "seconds" for a good price but I haven't shot it before and no one I know has much info on it.
