Black Hills 5.56x45mm MK262 MOD 1-C 77 Grain OTM – 460 Rounds (Ammo Can)

This MK262 ammo can holds 460 rounds of Black Hills 5.56x45mm in the MOD 1-C configuration, and it is built for the shooter who has stopped counting rounds by the box. Every cartridge carries a 77 grain open tip match bullet in a brass case. Buying this deep is how you stop rationing your good ammunition.

Why an MK262 Ammo Can Instead of Boxes

A twenty round box is a zeroing tool. A 460 round can is a training budget. When you are running a multi day carbine course, feeding a designated marksman rifle through a season, or simply want a serious reserve on the shelf, the can format changes what you can do with the ammunition.

The can itself is the other half of the value. A sealed metal container with a gasket is the best ammunition storage most shooters will ever own, and here it comes with the rounds. Set it on a shelf, close the lid, and the contents are protected from humidity, light and handling damage. An MK262 ammo can that never leaves the closet is still doing useful work.

What Is Inside the Can

• 460 rounds of 5.56x45mm in the MOD 1-C match configuration
• 77 grain open tip match bullets throughout the entire quantity
• Brass cases you can collect and reload if handloading is part of your routine
• Same spec load can after can, which shows up as a stable zero over a season
• Runs clean enough to keep long sessions comfortable and your rhythm unbroken
• Sealed can storage that protects the rounds until the day you need them

Specifications and What They Mean at Volume

The chambering is 5.56x45mm, the standard AR-15 chambering, so rifles and components are everywhere and practice stays affordable. Buying 460 rounds at once brings match grade ammunition close enough to training ammunition cost that there is little reason to shoot anything else on a serious range day.

Each round uses a 77 grain open tip match bullet. The open tip is a byproduct of how the jacket is formed, and it delivers the concentricity that match shooters care about. At this weight the bullet holds velocity and fights wind better than the lighter 5.56 loads.

Brass cases mean 460 pieces of reusable brass if you reload. That alone recovers real value from a can this size, and the consistency of Black Hills brass makes it worth the effort of picking up off the ground.

Handling, Storage and Rifle Compatibility

Run this load in a 1:7 or 1:8 twist barrel so the 77 grain bullet stabilizes properly. Nearly every current production AR-15 upper fits that description. If you are feeding an older 1:9 twist barrel, shoot a group first and confirm the results before you plan a full course around it.

Keep the can sealed between range trips and store it somewhere cool and dry. Do not decant the whole thing into loose containers, because the can is doing real work protecting the rounds. Pull out what you need for the day and close the lid on the rest.

Stacking a can like this alongside cheaper practice rounds is the smart approach, and you can put both in one order from our ammunition department so the shipping works in your favor.

Buy Once, Shoot All Season

Volume buying is not only about price. It is about lot consistency. Working through a single can means every round you shoot for months came off the same production run, so your data book stays valid and your dope does not quietly drift on you.

That is the real argument for a can over a stack of small boxes, and it is why serious rifle shooters buy this way. Order one MK262 ammo can now and you will not be shopping for 5.56 again for a long while. This ammunition ships straight to your door wherever state and local law allows.
