Magtech 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition is one of the steadiest sellers on our shelves, and the reason is simple: it does exactly what the label promises. This is the SS109 green tip load, a 62 grain light armor piercing projectile that has served as a military pattern for decades. It ships already linked and packed inside an ammo can, so it is ready for belt fed work or for stripping down into loose rounds if that suits your rifle better. If you run an AR-15 or anything else chambered for the cartridge, this is a load you can buy by the can and stop thinking about.
Who Magtech 5.56x45mm NATO Suits Best
The 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge is the standard AR-15 chambering, so rifles, magazines and spare parts are everywhere and practice stays affordable. That accessibility is what makes real volume training possible for ordinary shooters instead of only for agencies with a line item for ammunition. Most modern semi-automatic rifles in American homes are built around this round, which means you will never struggle to find a use for a case of it.
This particular offering is aimed squarely at people who shoot in quantity. Belt fed hosts, class attendees and anyone building a deep reserve will get the most out of 800 linked rounds. The green tip marking identifies the SS109 projectile at a glance, which keeps sorting quick in a crowded range bag. Buying it by the can also cuts down on the pile of small boxes you have to open on a busy firing line.

Specifications
Each can in this listing holds 800 rounds, already linked and ready to load. The projectile weighs 62 grain and uses steel in its construction, which is exactly what the SS109 designation calls for. The manufacturer model number is 556B-LINKED, worth noting if you are matching a previous purchase or ordering again later. Everything else about the loading is conventional, and that is precisely what you want from bulk ammunition.
Because Magtech 5.56x45mm NATO in this configuration is a bulk buy, plan your shelf space before the can lands on your porch. It is heavier and bulkier than a stack of retail boxes holding the same count. Lift it with your legs when you move it, and pick its spot once so it does not have to travel again until you shoot it.
Storage, Care and Compatibility
Keep the can cool and dry and this ammunition will be ready whenever you are. The sealed can handles most of the work, but a stable shelf away from temperature swings and damp air is still the best home for it. Rotate older stock forward so nothing sits forgotten at the back of a closet for years. Ammunition tolerates a great deal, though repeated heat cycling is the one thing genuinely worth avoiding.
Compatibility is straightforward. Any rifle chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO will run it, and belt fed platforms will accept it exactly as delivered. If you want loose rounds instead, the links come off quickly by hand and the cartridges underneath are untouched. That flexibility is a large part of why linked ammunition sells so well even to shooters who own nothing belt fed.
Magtech builds this load to a consistent standard, and you can read more on the Magtech site. When you are ready to fill out your shelf, browse the rest of our ammunition selection and pair this can with whatever else your rifles eat. Magtech 5.56x45mm NATO earns its place in a serious stockpile. This ammunition ships straight to your door wherever state and local law allows.
