BlackArc Munitions' Latest: Premium 5.56 Loading Features Berger Precision

A new chapter in precision shooting has opened with BlackArc Munitions' latest offering in the 5.56X45mm caliber. The company's innovative 226 Elite ammunition combines their signature NAS3 hybrid case technology with Berger's renowned 80.5 Fullbore projectile, creating a purpose-built round for serious long-range applications.

The name "226 Elite" draws from the impressive .226 G7 ballistic coefficient of the selected Berger Fullbore bullet. This particular projectile has earned its stripes in competitive shooting circles, particularly in scenarios demanding extreme precision beyond 600 yards. Competition shooters should note that due to its length, this round typically requires single-loading rather than magazine feeding.

When it comes to performance, the numbers speak for themselves. This premium loading achieves a factory-specified velocity of 2,830 FPS from an 18-inch barrel, delivering consistent supersonic performance out to 1,000 yards and beyond. Premium performance commands a premium price - each 50-round box retails at $75.
