This cartridge has a 55 grain bullet loaded to a muzzle velocity of 3,240 fps, which are virtually identical specs to the U.S. Army’s own M193 ammunition. As a full metal jacket this bullet is not designed to expand inside of soft tissue. Its ability to deliver more than four times the minimum recommended energy for self-defense at close range does a great deal to compensate for that, however. The nonmagnetic bullet consists of a solid lead core and gilding metal jacket, a cost-effective design which still promotes smooth feeding and cleaner performance in a semi-automatic firearm.

This new production ammunition features brass cases, which remain valuable as handloading components once fired. Its primers are non-corrosive to prevent rust from taking hold in a rifle, and its propellant is prepared to prevent rapid carbon fouling in the barrel.
