Armscor 7.62x51 M80 NATO Ammo

M80 Ball For 7.62 NATO

This is Armscor's 7.62x51mm M80 load, a full metal jacket round built to the pattern of the standard US military ball cartridge. It is made for range sessions, rifle zeroing and high-volume practice with a 7.62 NATO battle rifle or semi-auto, where you want consistent, plain ball ammunition. Each plain white box holds 20 cartridges.

Features

• 7.62x51mm NATO Caliber — Loaded for rifles chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO, the full-power rifle cartridge used by NATO forces since the 1950s.
• M80 Ball Designation — M80 is the military name for standard 7.62 NATO ball, the general-purpose round meant for training and everyday use rather than special roles such as tracer or armor-piercing.
• Full Metal Jacket Bullet — A copper-colored jacket covers the pointed bullet, which keeps lead off your bore and helps the round feed smoothly from a magazine.
• Brass Cases — The cartridges are loaded in brass cases, the traditional case material for rifle ammunition.
• Annealed Case Necks — The color band around each case neck and shoulder comes from annealing, a heat treatment that softens the brass at the mouth so it grips the bullet and expands evenly on firing.
• 20 Cartridges Per Box — Each box holds 20 rounds, enough to fill a typical 20-round 7.62 magazine.
• Made In The Philippines — Manufactured by Armscor Global Defense Inc. in Marikina City, as printed on the box.

Fit And Use

The M80 load suits rifles chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO, such as the M14 and M1A, the FN FAL and 7.62-chambered AR-10 pattern rifles. Check the chamber marking on your barrel and your rifle's manual before firing, since 7.62 NATO and .308 Winchester share outside dimensions but are not identical in specification. As a ball load it is a practice and training round, not a hunting or defensive bullet.
