M80 Ammo For Sale

M80 is the U.S. military's standard 7.62 NATO ball cartridge - the 147 grain full metal jacket load that has fed M14s, M60s, M240s, and battle rifles across NATO since the late 1950s. For civilian shooters, M80-spec ammo is the workhorse training load for any .308/7.62 NATO-chambered rifle: M14-pattern semi-autos, AR-10s, FAL clones, and surplus G3-pattern rifles all eat M80 without complaint.

The 147gr FMJ bullet leaves a 22-inch barrel around 2,750 to 2,800 feet per second, delivering the flat-out-to-500-yard trajectory and consistent feeding that made 7.62 NATO the dominant Western military rifle cartridge of the 20th century. M80 isn't a match load - it's the volume-fire standard - but its predictability, availability, and price-per-round make it the right ammo for high-round-count rifle work.

Why shooters choose M80 ball ammo

• Military standard: the 147gr FMJ ball spec that NATO has used for over 60 years.
• Volume training: the right load for high-round-count battle-rifle practice.
• Reliable feeding: bullet profile optimized for autoloading 7.62 NATO platforms.
• Cost-effective: typically the cheapest factory option in 7.62 NATO.
