Fort Scott Munitions 5.56x45mm NATO TUI Ammo FAQ:
The solid copper construction ensures excellent weight retention, controlled expansion, and consistent performance through various barriers. It also eliminates the potential for core-jacket separation, which can occur with traditional jacketed bullets.
The effective range can vary depending on the firearm and shooter, but given its high ballistic coefficient and velocity, this ammunition can be effective at ranges exceeding 300 yards. For precise long-range performance data, it's recommended to conduct personal field testing.
No, this ammunition is not corrosive. Fort Scott Munitions uses non-corrosive Boxer primers in their 5.56x45mm NATO TUI ammunition.
Solid copper bullets typically cause less barrel wear than traditional jacketed lead bullets. The softer copper material is less abrasive on the barrel's rifling, potentially extending the barrel's lifespan with proper care.
Yes, the brass cases used in this ammunition are reloadable. However, reloading should only be done by experienced individuals following proper safety procedures and load data.
While primarily designed for tactical and self-defense use, this ammunition can be effective for hunting in areas where solid copper bullets are legal. Always check local hunting regulations regarding ammunition requirements before use.
Yes, this ammunition is suitable for use in AR-15 style rifles chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO or .223 Remington. However, always verify your firearm's specific chambering and manufacturer recommendations before use.
While not specifically marketed as match-grade ammunition, the high ballistic coefficient and consistent manufacturing process of this TUI ammunition often result in excellent accuracy. However, individual results may vary depending on the firearm and shooter.
Yes, this ammunition can be used with suppressors. However, due to its high velocity, it will likely remain supersonic even with a suppressor, so the sonic crack will still be audible.
