Federal Personal Defense Tactical Bonded 5 56x45mm NATO Rifle Ammunition Bonded Soft Point 64 Grain 20 Rounds per Box TCB55664X UPC 604544702637
Product Description
The Federal® Personal Defense Tactical Bonded 5.56x45mm NATO 64 Grain Bonded Lead Soft Point (SKU: TCB55664X / UPC: 604544702637) represents the operational pinnacle of intermediate-barrier carbine munitions. Engineered specifically for professional law enforcement, home defense, and mission-critical tactical readiness, this purpose-built load packs 20 rounds per box of duty-proven terminal lethality into modern semi-automatic tactical rifles and defensive AR-15 carbines.
At the mechanical core of this cartridge is Federal's proven 64-grain bonded lead soft point (LSP) projectile. Utilizing a specialized molecular jacket-to-core electrochemical fusion process, the bullet eliminates core-jacket separation when passing through tough intermediate obstacles such as laminated automotive windshields, plywood, heavy interior drywall, and heavy tactical denim. Generating an authoritative muzzle velocity of 2,975 fps and 1,258 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, the soft point architecture initiates rapid, symmetric mushrooming while driving deep straight-line penetration through vital tissue without over-penetration hazards.
Each round is manufactured inside first-run, virgin reloadable brass cases held to tight military tolerance envelopes, ensuring slick chambering and positive extraction in both direct-impingement and piston-driven tactical carbines. Primed with sealed, heavy-duty Boxer primers and charged with specialized clean-burning, flash-inhibited propellants, the TCB55664X load maintains peak night-vision integrity during low-light self-defense scenarios and long-term shelf resilience against atmospheric moisture.
*Master Ballistician Bench Notes & Range Staging Guidance:*
Chamber Compatibility & Pressure Advisory: This cartridge is manufactured to true military 5.56x45mm NATO high-pressure specifications. It is strictly designed for modern firearms with barrels specifically marked 5.56x45mm NATO or .223 Wylde featuring standard 1:7", 1:8", or 1:9" rifling twists. CRITICAL: DO NOT fire this ammunition in legacy firearms chambered strictly for standard commercial .223 Remington due to excessive chamber pressure caused by the shorter leade. NEVER chamber this ammunition in .300 AAC Blackout platforms.
- Verify the firearm chamber stamping and barrel markings match the exact SAAMI or NATO cartridge designation printed on the ammunition headstamp and box prior to loading.
- Inspect individual cartridges during magazine staging for seated primer uniformity, case wall integrity, and consistent overall cartridge length (COAL) free of bullet setback.
- Stage duty magazines with fresh, uncycled rounds; rotate chambered duty ammunition out of operational carry every 6 months to eliminate micro-indentation or propellant settling from continuous mechanical cycling.
- Verify carbine point-of-impact (POI) and combat zero at 50 and 100 yards with this 64-grain bonded soft point profile, as terminal trajectories will subtly vary from standard 55-grain or 62-grain full metal jacket training ammunition.
- Store remaining ammunition in a cool, dry, climate-controlled environment (ideally inside a sealed M2A1/M19A1 ammo can with desiccant packs) and observe strict Ground/ORM-D hazardous materials shipping and handling regulations.
