Description
This is it, the holy grail of 5.56x45mm ammo. This is Black Hills Ammo fabled 5.56X45mm, 77-grain MK262 Mod 1-C OTM round. The same round they sell to the US military. Packed in military-issue 20-round brown boxes and secured in a metal 30-cal ammo can, you’re definitely getting what you pay for with this ammo!
This 5.56 cartridge is loaded with a Sierra 77-grain open-tip match (OTM) bullet and is designed for accuracy and long-range performance. This round is optimized for use in M4 Carbine rifles with a 1 in 8″ or faster twist rate. Black Hills MK262 Mod 1-C ammunition is considered to be one of the most accurate types of 5.56mm ammo.
Jeff Hoffman, the owner of Black Hills Ammo, talked about this ammo in an interview with Shooting Time back in 2012, saying: “The round developed a cult following, even packed as cosmetic seconds. So last year we started offering it to the public. The only difference is the packaging-it is the exact same ammunition as is delivered to the U.S. military-loaded to the exact same specs. The guy shooting iron sights at beer cans at 100 yards probably has no reason to shoot this, but a man that has the skill and firearm to extend the range, this is his round.”

The thin jackets of these bullets are kept to tight standards for weight and diameter, making them incredibly accurate. More target contests have been won with their precision than with any other manufacturer’s target bullets combined. The smallest meplat feasible is used into the design of every OTM bullet to obtain the best ballistic coefficient.
Over the years, Black Hills Ammo has acquired some of the most renowned private and military customers in the world; this wasn’t by chance. Order your 460 MK262 Mod 1-C rounds right away!
