Lake City Army Ammunition Plant in Independence, Missouri, has produced small arms ammunition for the United States military since 1941, and its headstamp is one of the most recognized in the world. Ammunition built on the Lake City production line is manufactured to military specifications, with the case annealing, crimped primers and quality control that sustained combat use demands. Lake City 7.62x51 147 Grain FMJ M80 is the standard NATO ball loading for the 7.62x51mm cartridge. The 147 grain full metal jacket bullet is the round that generations of M14 rifles, M60 and M240 machine guns and semi-automatic 7.62 rifles were built around, which means it matches the point of impact and gas system pressure most of those firearms were designed to handle. Lake City brass is thick and durable, well regarded by handloaders who value case life, and the crimped primer pocket keeps primers seated under the stress of automatic fire. For high-volume range work, training and general shooting in 7.62x51 or .308 pattern rifles, M80 ball remains a proven, economical choice.
