Hornady Black 5.56 NATO Ammunition 20 Rounds Brass Centerfire 75 Grain Interlock HD SBR 81296

Hornady Black 5.56 NATO 75 Grain InterLock HD SBR ammunition is built for shooters who need dependable performance, controlled terminal effect, and consistent accuracy from a versatile defensive and hunting load. Designed with short-barrel rifle performance in mind, this cartridge delivers reliable function and hard-hitting capability in compact platforms where efficiency matters most.

At the core of this load is a 75 grain Hornady InterLock Heavy Duty bullet, engineered to provide controlled expansion and deep, consistent penetration. The InterLock design mechanically locks the core and jacket together, helping the bullet retain weight and energy through impact. This results in reliable terminal performance on small game and varmints, even under challenging shot angles or varied field conditions.

With a muzzle velocity of 2321 fps and muzzle energy of 897 ft-lbs, this 5.56 NATO load is optimized for balanced performance out of shorter barrels while still maintaining effective downrange energy. The combination of bullet weight and velocity provides stable flight characteristics, consistent accuracy, and dependable impact performance at typical hunting distances.

Each round is assembled with a high-quality brass casing and a reliable centerfire Boxer primer to ensure smooth feeding, consistent ignition, and dependable cycling in both AR-platform rifles and other compatible firearms. Hornady’s strict quality control standards help maintain uniform pressures and shot-to-shot consistency for trustworthy performance in the field.

Packaged in a 20-round box, Hornady Black 5.56 NATO ammunition delivers rugged reliability, controlled expansion, and practical versatility for hunters and shooters who need a dependable short-barrel-capable load.

The Hornady 5.56 NATO 75gr InterLock uses brass cases and controlled-expansion bullets for reliable small-game performance.
