Product Overview
Product Description
The Badlands Munitions Co. 85gr Match Burner 5.56 NATO ammunition was designed for shooters looking to push the performance of the AR-15 platform beyond traditional match loads. Featuring the Barnes 85gr Match Burner BTHP Open Tip Match projectile, this round delivers excellent accuracy, consistent performance, and impressive long-range capability.
Utilizing Shell Shock NAS3 nickel-alloy cases, this load provides increased case capacity compared to standard brass while maintaining reliable pressure levels. The added volume helps achieve higher velocities, with testing showing an average velocity of 2,750 FPS from an 18" Douglas 1/7 twist barrel setup.
With a projectile that remains supersonic out to approximately 900 yards at the test elevation, the 85gr Match Burner is an excellent choice for precision-focused shooters, DMR-style rifles, and those looking to maximize the capability of the 5.56 platform.
