Atomic 5.56 NATO 77gr BTHP 20rd Box

Atomic loads this 5.56 NATO round with a 77gr hollow point boat tail bullet, the heavy end of the 5.56 bullet range. Heavier bullets in this case hold onto their velocity further out than the light varmint weights do, which is why the 77gr class is what shooters reach for when an AR-15 has to work past close range. 20rd box.

It is listed as a defensive load rather than a plinking round, and the hollow point boat tail profile fits that job about as well as it fits paper at distance. The cartridge carries the 5.56 NATO designation, so treat it as 5.56 rather than 223 Remington when you pick the rifle it goes in.
