Fort Scott Munitions brings their patented Tumble Upon Impact technology to this precision-machined 5.56 NATO load. Each round features a solid copper projectile carved from high-quality copper stock on CNC lathes, eliminating any flaws in weight distribution or profile that could throw off flight stability. At 3200 feet per second, this 62-grain ammunition carries 1410 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle, striking a balance between velocity and penetration that works well across common barrel twist rates.
The TUI design is the real story here. When the projectile contacts soft tissue, it doesn't expand like traditional hollow points. Instead, the monolithic copper construction allows it to penetrate deep while tumbling end-over-end, which creates a much larger temporary wound cavity than the small diameter of the bullet alone would suggest. The projectile retains over 95 percent of its weight through impact, maintaining its effectiveness even after passing through barriers or hard materials. This controlled penetration also helps reduce over-penetration concerns without sacrificing stopping power.
These cartridges are loaded with the same care that Fort Scott applies to match-grade ammunition. Brass cases are primed and loaded to exacting standards, delivering consistent velocities shot to shot. The lead-free solid copper construction means you can use this ammunition where lead-free projectiles are required, and it keeps your bore cleaner over time with no lead fouling. From coyotes to hogs to defensive application, the consistent performance makes follow-up shots faster and more confident.
Each box ships with 20 rounds in reloadable brass cases. If you're the type who reloads, the tight manufacturing tolerances and consistent case quality give you a solid foundation for handloads that maintain the same tight grouping you get from factory ammunition.
Instead of expanding like a hollow point, the solid copper TUI bullet tumbles end-over-end when it contacts soft tissue, creating a much larger wound cavity. The monolithic construction means there are no moving parts to rely on, and the bullet retains over 95 percent of its weight through impact. This creates devastating damage through a different mechanism than expansion, and it helps prevent overpenetration.
The 62-grain bullet weight is highly versatile and performs well through the common 1:7, 1:8, and 1:9 twist rates. Most AR-15s will stabilize this weight without issue. If you're unsure of your rifle's twist rate, check your barrel markings or contact the manufacturer.
Yes, Fort Scott loads these rounds in reloadable brass cases. The tight tolerances and consistent case quality make them a good platform for handloading once you've fired them. Always follow safe reloading practices and verify pressures for any loads you develop.
Fort Scott markets this load for both applications. The 62-grain weight and 3200 fps velocity work well on medium game like coyotes and hogs, and the TUI design's controlled penetration makes it reliable for defensive scenarios. Match your ammunition choice to your local hunting regulations and use case requirements.
