5.56x45mm NATO /.223 Ammo 

 FN Herstal of Belgium created the 5.5645mm NATO (official NATO name 5.56 NATO, but commonly pronounced "five-five-six") in the late 1970s. The 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge family is based on and shares several physical properties with the .223 Remington cartridge developed by Remington Arms in the early 1960s.

 7.62x39 Ammo 

An intermediate cartridge with a rimless, bottlenecked design, the 7.6239mm was developed in the Soviet Union. The widespread distribution of Russian-style rifles like the SKS and AK-47, as well as light machine guns like the RPD and RPK, has resulted in the cartridge's widespread use. It is also currently in the modern generation used in other rifles and pistols such as AR-47 (AR-15's chambered in 7.62x39), Galil's, and other popular rifles such as the Sig Sauer MCX Spear.

6.5 Creedmoor

Introduced by Hornady in 2007, the 6.5mm Creedmoor (6.548 mm) is a centerfire rifle cartridge. Named after Creedmoor Sports' vice president of product development, who collaborated on its creation with Hornady's senior ballistics scientist Dave Emary. Long-range target shooting is where the 6.5mm Creedmoor truly excels. Due to the comparable size of the 7.62x51mm NATO and the 6.5 mm Creedmoor cartridges, the same magazines will work with both calibers, and the rifle may be changed with simply a barrel swap. 

.308 Winchester Ammo 

 Commercially, the 7.62x51mm NATO round was evolved from the .308 Winchester (pronounce: "three-oh-eight"), which is a rimless, bottlenecked, rifle cartridge. Although the NATO standard is the 7.62x51mm NATO T65, the .308 Winchester was released two years earlier in 1952. Winchester popularized this cartridge for use in commercial hunting under the.308 Winchester trademark. The new cartridge was eventually made available for the Winchester Model 70 and Model 88 rifles. In the years following, the .308 Winchester gained widespread acceptance as the premier big-game hunting cartridge.

.30-06 Ammo 

 Introduced to the U.S. Army in 1906 and eventually standardized, the .30-06 Springfield cartridge (or 7.62x63mm in metric notation) was used by the military until the late 1970s. The ".30" indicates the bullet's caliber in inches. The year "06" denotes the widespread use of the cartridge, which was in 1906. After nearly 50 years, the .30-06 was superseded by the 7.62x51mm NATO and the 5.56x45mm NATO as the standard rifle and machine gun cartridges of the United States Army. Every major ammunition producer continues to make ammunition for this wildly popular sporting round. 

Clark Armory is proud to carry a wide selection of .30-06 rounds, from light-weight target rounds to heavy-hitting solid copper hunting loads.
