The 5.56x45 FMJ M193 is probably the oldest and most widely used load in the 5.56x45 calibre. The cartridge is equally suited to tactical use and training. The 3.56 g full metal jacket soft core bullet significantly reduces wear on shooting ranges and bullet traps in a direct comparison with the SS109 or double core. Its bullet consists of a tombac jacket encasing a lead core.
