Rifle Target Ammo
About Target Rifle Ammunition
Like the name suggests, ammunition of this type is intended for target shooting use. Naturally, these loadings feature projectiles and traits which are conducive to recreational shooting and practice. Target rifle ammo is found in a wide range of calibers like 5.56x45mm, .223 Remington, 6.5 Creedmoor, 7.62x39, and more. Ammo of this type is available in a wide range of grain weights, projectile types, velocities, and other styles which cater to various types of shooters. This is to say that there are range ammo offerings which are suitable for various purposes at the range.Types of Target Ammo Loadings
- Full Metal Jacket (FMJ):Like the name suggests, these types of loadings feature projectiles which are adorned with metal jacketing. This jacket is generally made of copper and will cover the tip and sides of the projectile. Typically, the base of the projectile is left uncoated. These types of loadings are well-suited for range use and are some of the most common types of ammo one will encounter.
- Hollow Point (HP):HP loadings feature hollow point projectiles like the name suggests. This removal of material makes the projectile lighter and promotes high velocities. These types of loadings are optimized for self defense or match use and have a tendency to expand on impact. A good hollow point loading is one that achieves an appropriate level of penetration while expanding reliably upon impact within the target.
- Open Tip Match Boat Tail (OTMBT):These types of loadings will generally feature heavier projectiles and are well-suited to precision-oriented shooting. Material has been removed from these projectiles, hence the “Open-Tip Match” designation, helping achieve high velocities. While technically a hollow point, these loadings are designed for superior ballistic performance and not intended to function as standard hollow points. These loadings also feature tapered boat tail style bases as opposed to flat projectile bases. This trait further enhances the performance of these loadings in terms of accuracy and velocity.
- Hollow Point Boat Tail (HPBT):HPBT loadings feature hollow point projectiles with boat tail style bases. These differ from traditional projectiles with flat bases and are well-suited to precision-oriented shooting. Like traditional hollow point loadings, these loadings are also designed to facilitate expansion on impact.
