M855 Ammo in NJ

[JimmyAGR 54]

Hello Everyone,

 

Quick question about 5.56 ammo. Is M855 ammo legal here in NJ? Just wondering because the description is steel core penetrator. I know that it's not armor piercing, but in NJ you can never be too sure.

 

Thanks,

Jimmy

AFAIK, it is OK.

 

Only armor piercing handgun ammo is illegal, and that is a federal law.

but I am fairly certain most ranges will not allow it. It will give alot of range backstops a big workout.

Oh yeah.. I'm not used to shooting at indoor ranges :-P

Will the outdoor ranges allow it, I am thinking of joining CJR&P? I wanted something heavier then 55 gr. Guess I can get non-military ammo, but bulk M855 is one of the cheaper.

 

Thanks again,

Jimmy

Yes they allow everything except for tracer and incendiary type ammo, it's a good club.

Old Bridge is the same, any ammo at the outdoor range.

Most outdoor ranges in this area allow steel cores/steel jackets I do believe. I know the tunnels at somerset county fish and game allow it along with easton fish and game. The reason outdoor ranges ban it is not penetration or ricochet, but sparks against rocks causing fires. hence you read alot of guys out west saying how they cant shoot surplus ammo or wolf. Fires isnt really a problem out here (or the ranges just dont give a crap?)
