    M1A3 5.56

    Does anyone happen to know if this has a boat tail?

    Sealed in an MRE type battle pack. Can't find a definitive answer as to exactly what it is.
    Taking a break from social media.

    It is south african surplus ammo, M193 (55 gr FMJBT) equivalent.
    Good ammo, but as always YMMV depending on the age and how it was stored.

    It's pretty hot stuff, and berdan primed. I remember when it was ten cents a round. I wish I had bought a pallet of it.

    I do believe the bullet is a normal M193 type FMJ-BT.
