This video from Palmetto State Armory explains the distinctions between different types of 5.56 ammunition. It covers training rounds like 55 and 62 grain Full Metal Jacket for range practice, match grade ammunition (69-77 grain) for tighter groups at distance, and hunting rounds (soft points, polymer tips, bonded) designed for expansion on impact.
This video reviews Federal Premium's new Freight Train Copper Sabot slugs, designed for deer hunting and introduced in January 2024. The slugs feature a monometal projectile with a polymer-tipped, aerodynamic nose and a sabot sleeve for improved ballistics. They are designed for fully rifled shotgun barrels and offer enhanced penetration and expansion upon impact. The review highlights impressive velocity figures and accuracy potential, with specific loads detailed for 12 and 20 gauge.
