The Fort Scott Munitions 556062SBV1 Tumble Upon Impact (TUI) ammunition delivers terminal performance through solid brass construction and engineered tumbling action. This 5.56x45mm NATO load eliminates lead exposure concerns while providing consistent expansion characteristics across various barrier materials.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional jacketed bullets that rely on expansion, the TUI design uses a solid brass projectile that tumbles upon impact to create wound channels. The spun brass construction maintains structural integrity through intermediate barriers while delivering energy transfer comparable to expanding bullets. This monolithic design eliminates core separation issues common with conventional ammunition.
Key Features
- 62-grain solid brass projectile with engineered tumbling geometry
- Lead-free construction eliminates toxic exposure and fouling
- Consistent performance through glass, drywall, and clothing barriers
- Match-grade brass cases with reliable primer ignition
- 5.56x45mm NATO specification for military and civilian rifles
- Spun manufacturing process ensures uniform weight distribution
- 20 rounds per box, 25 boxes per case (500 total rounds)
Field testing demonstrates reliable feeding in AR-15 platforms and bolt-action rifles chambered for 5.56 NATO. The solid construction maintains velocity better than conventional bullets, delivering flat trajectories suitable for precision shooting applications. Law enforcement agencies report consistent terminal performance across various encounter scenarios, while hunters appreciate the lead-free composition for game processing.
