7.62x51mm – 149 gr FMJ – Winchester M80 (WM80) – 500 Rounds

Shooters running a 7.62×51 NATO rifle need affordable, consistent ammo for training and range days, and that is exactly what this load is for. This listing is Winchester USA M80 7.62x51mm 149 grain FMJ ammunition, MPN WM80, sold as a 500 round bulk case. Whether you shoot an M1A, FAL, or AR-10, buying 7.62 NATO ammo by the case lowers your cost per round and gives you enough for serious practice.

The 149 grain full metal jacket bullet uses a lead core and is loaded to the M80 ball specification, the standard 7.62 NATO military ball round. That matters because M80 ball is the load many 7.62×51 rifles were designed and sighted around, so it tends to cycle reliably in gas guns. Winchester rates this load at 2,790 fps with 2,575 ft-lbs of energy. It is loaded to military-spec pressure, which is a key point for anyone asking about 308 Win vs 7.62 NATO. This ammo is fine in most 308 Winchester rifles, but check your rifle manufacturer before firing it.

This M80 ammo is made for rifles chambered in 7.62×51 NATO, including the M14 and M1A, FN FAL, HK91 and G3, SCAR 17, AR-10 and LR-308 pattern rifles, and the SIG 716. It suits target shooters, rifle course students, and anyone who wants bulk practice ammo for a battle rifle or 308-class semi-auto. Because FMJ is a range and training round, it is not the choice for hunting. If you want to put real rounds downrange without paying premium match prices, the 500 round bulk case is the one to add to your cart.

Winchester USA WM80 is made in the USA and is new production ammunition, not reloads. Each cartridge uses a new brass case with a boxer primer, and the load is non-corrosive, so no special cleaning is needed after a range session. The boxer-primed brass is reloadable, which makes this a good source of 7.62×51 cases for handloaders. This bulk case comes in factory packaging as 25 boxes of 20 rounds for a total of 500 rounds.
