5.56x45mm – 70 Gr TSX – Federal Tactical (LE556TSX) – 200 Rounds

Need a 5.56 load that penetrates through barriers and holds together on tough targets? Pick up this 200 round case of Federal Tactical LE556TSX 5.56x45mm 70 grain Barnes TSX ammo, a law enforcement load built around one of the toughest bullets made.

The Barnes TSX, or Triple-Shock X, is a solid copper hollow point with no lead core. Because there is no separate core and jacket, it cannot come apart. On impact, the nose opens into sharp copper petals while the solid shank keeps driving, giving deep, straight penetration and near 100 percent weight retention. That is why law enforcement agencies choose it for patrol rifles and why hog hunters love it for big boars. The grooves cut into the shank reduce pressure and fouling. At 70 grains, it is a heavy bullet for the 5.56, which means more momentum and better performance through auto glass and other barriers. Federal rates this load at 2,850 fps.

The 5.56x45mm NATO is the standard chambering for the AR-15 and M4 platform. Heavier 70 grain bullets like this one stabilize best in faster twist barrels, such as 1:7 or 1:8, which are standard in most modern ARs. Because the TSX is lead-free, it is also legal where non-lead hunting ammo is required, such as California. Since you should practice with the same ammo you protect yourself or hunt with, a 200 round case lets you confirm your zero and function and keep plenty on hand. It is an excellent choice for home defense, patrol use, and hunting hogs and deer where legal.

This American-made Federal ammo is new production, brass-cased, Boxer-primed, and non-corrosive. The fired brass is reloadable. Each box holds 20 rounds, and ten boxes make up this 200 round case. Store extra boxes in a cool, dry place, and rotate duty magazines periodically so the ammo you carry is always fresh.
