Overview of MK262 Ammo
Originally developed for U.S. military use by Black Hills Ammunition, MK262 is a 5.56x45mm round loaded with a 77 grain Open Tip Match (OTM) bullet. It was created to increase the effective range and accuracy of the M4 and other short-barreled rifles, outperforming standard M855 green tip rounds in both precision and terminal ballistics.
What Makes MK262 Unique?
MK262's heavy 77 grain projectile offers better long-range stability and improved fragmentation upon impact compared to standard 62 grain loads. While technically not a hollow point, its OTM design and superior accuracy make it a favorite among marksmen, special forces units, and long-range AR-15 enthusiasts alike.
Ideal Uses for MK262 Ammo
MK262 is best suited for:
- Precision shooting with twist rates of 1:7 or 1:8
- Hunting small to medium game at longer distances
- Self-defense in scenarios where accuracy and barrier penetration matter
Its enhanced performance makes it a reliable alternative to traditional 5.56 loads, especially in scenarios demanding superior accuracy and terminal effect.
