Why $4.90?

5.56 ammo costs more to make than 9mm — heavier projectile, more powder, tighter QC on rifle-pressure loadings. So this trial pack runs $4.90 instead of the $2.90 we charge for our 9mm 115gr trial. Still sold at our cost. No profit baked in. Just 20 rounds of M193-spec 5.56 so you can cycle it through your AR, see how it shoots, and decide for yourself before you commit to bulk.

If it works, we've got bulk 5.56 packs from 50 rounds up to 10,000 with free shipping on 250+ rounds. If it doesn't, our 100% guarantee has you covered.

Limit 5 packs per order — first-time buyers, not bulk discounts.

Why M193-Spec?

M193 is the U.S. Military designation for the standard 5.56 NATO training round: 55gr FMJ projectile, NATO pressure, copper-jacketed lead core. Every infantry rifle in every armory runs this load for basic marksmanship training. It's the most-shot 5.56 round in American history.

Our 5.56 55gr FMJ is built to that same M193 specification — remanufactured to bring the price down. Same projectile weight. Same NATO pressure loading. Same downrange performance. If it cycles reliably for the U.S. Army's M4s, it'll cycle reliably in your AR-15.

Test Cycling
Run 20 rounds through your gas system and see if it runs clean before committing to 1,000.
Check Accuracy
See how it groups at 50 / 100 yards in your barrel before you stockpile.

How We Build It

We don't cut corners. Even at $4.90, this round goes through the exact same 16-point quality control as every other Brass Kisses cartridge:

  1. Inspected for splits, cracks, and defects
  2. Cleaned and pressure-tested on Scharch Range Master systems
  3. Deprimed, flash holes cleared, primer pockets reamed
  4. Acid-washed and resized to S.A.A.M.I. spec on proprietary Brass Kisses tooling
  5. Loaded with new CCI primers, Hodgdon powder, and 55gr copper-jacketed FMJ projectiles on Camdex and Ammo Load Mark L rifle presses
  6. Final 16-point QC before packing

Same build as our 10,000-round bulk pack. Same casings. Same components. Same QC. The only difference between this 20-round trial and our 10,000-round bulk is the count and the price.

Reliable. Unapologetic. 100% Guaranteed.

Common Questions

Will it cycle reliably in my AR-15?
Yes — M193-spec 5.56 is what AR-15s are designed to run. Mil-spec gas systems, carbine-length and mid-length, direct impingement or piston: all cycle cleanly on this load. Heavily ported competition guns and short-barreled pistols (under 10.5") may need adjustment — which is exactly why we built this trial pack. Test it in your gun before you buy bulk.
Why the 5-pack limit?
This pack is designed for first-time buyers to test our 5.56 in their AR — not as a way to stock up cheaper. If you want volume, our bulk 5.56 packs are how you stock up with free shipping on 250+ rounds.
Is this the same as M193? What about M855?
Same general spec as M193 — 55gr FMJ at NATO pressure. M855 is different — that's the 62gr "green tip" with a steel core, often banned at indoor ranges. This product is 55gr lead-core FMJ, range-friendly everywhere lead-core ammo is allowed.
Why is some of the brass headstamped .223 and some 5.56?
Because the case is just the wrapper — what matters for performance is how we load it. We use once-fired brass from either headstamp source, then process and load every cartridge to our standard 5.56 manufacturing specs. The result is identical performance regardless of which headstamp you happen to grab from the box.
Should I use this for home defense?
This is FMJ training/range ammo, not defensive ammo. For carbine home defense, look at premium JHP or soft-point loads from major manufacturers (Hornady Critical Defense, Speer Gold Dot, Federal Tactical, etc.). Train with this 5.56 FMJ for proficiency, carry a defensive load.
How fast does Brass Kisses ship?
Orders typically ship within 7 business days from order placement. Need a status update? Email us at info@brasskisses.com. Small Utah outfit, every order matters.
What about hazmat fees and state restrictions?
Hazmat fees calculate automatically at checkout based on your shipping address. A few states (CA, NY, CT, MA, IL) have ammunition shipping restrictions requiring additional documentation. Checkout flags any restrictions automatically.
