Freedom 223 62 grain SS109 is built for ultimate target shooting. The SS109 is known for it's steel penetrating abilities, primarily used by the US Military, but popular on the range. With a non-expanding bi-metal magnetic bullet, this full metal jacket projectile delivers match grade performance with every shot.
The U.S. designated the SS109 cartridge the M855 and first used it in the M16A2 rifle. The 62-grain round was heavier than the previous 55-grain M193. While the M855 had better armor penetrating ability, it is less likely to fragment after hitting a soft target. This lessens kinetic energy transfer to the target and reduces wounding capability.
