Description
Engineered for maximum terminal effect and speed, this 5.56x45mm NATO 40gr Ballistic Tip load is Steinel’s premier fast-expansion option for tactical applications. Featuring a lightweight, polymer-tipped bullet this round delivers blistering velocity, flat trajectory, and devastating on-target performance—making it ideal for both defensive use and predator control.
Optimized for use in all semi-automatic 5.56 NATO platforms, this round cycles flawlessly in AR-15s, SBRs, and other modern sporting rifles. It also excels in precision bolt-action rifles with barrel lengths up to 26″, where shooters can extract its full ballistic potential. The streamlined projectile nose enhances feeding reliability while the thin jacket and ballistic tip ensure rapid expansion upon impact—transferring energy quickly and limiting over-penetration.
Whether you’re clearing varmints, conducting training, or dialing in a lightweight hunting or home defense setup, this round offers pinpoint accuracy and consistent terminal performance. As with all Steinel Ammunition, it’s built with premium components, rigorous quality control, and tuned to run clean and reliable across various rifle platforms.
