Description
The 62 grain bullet weight isn't random—it's the NATO specification. It's what M855/SS109 military ammunition uses. It's the bullet weight your AR-15 was designed around if it has a 1:7 or 1:8 twist rate.
While 55 grain is the traditional sporting weight, 62 grains provides better performance in faster-twist barrels. The additional mass improves ballistic coefficients for better wind resistance and downrange velocity retention. If your AR wears a barrel marked "5.56 NATO" or has a 1:7 twist, this is the bullet weight that maximizes your rifle's potential.
AngelFire loads these 62 grain FMJ bullets into quality once-fired brass with powder charges optimized for proper performance. You get ammunition that mirrors military specifications without military surplus quality concerns—each round is individually inspected before packaging.
This 250-round case provides enough ammunition to confirm that your faster-twist barrel actually shoots better with heavier bullets (it does), to verify zero with your preferred bullet weight, and to stock up on ammunition that matches your rifle's capabilities.
For AR-15 owners with modern barrels, this is the bullet weight you should be shooting.
