Why Choose Ammo Inc Compete 68gr OTM
Match-Style OTM Bullet: Open Tip Match bullets are engineered for uniform jacket thickness and balanced cores, improving gyroscopic stability and delivering small extreme spreads on target.
68-Grain Sweet Spot: Heavier than common 55–62gr loads, 68gr offers better BC for wind, while remaining friendly to common 1:7–1:9 twist barrels found in AR-15s and bolt guns.
Consistent Components: Carefully selected primers, clean-burning powder, and concentric brass support predictable velocities and reliable feeding/extraction.
Competition & Training Ready: From PRS gas-gun matches and outlaw carbine stages to positional practice, this load is designed to hold zero and print tight groups.
Quality Control You Can Feel: Smooth chambering, consistent recoil impulse, and crisp ejection make long practice strings more productive.

UPC: 818778024308
Note: Exact velocity/energy depend on barrel length and environmental conditions. Always verify dope in your rifle.
What “Open Tip Match” Means for Accuracy
Uniform Meplat Cavity: The small, open tip results from the manufacturing process to create a precisely formed lead core, enhancing balance and flight stability.
Boat-Tail Design: Reduces drag and helps maintain downrange velocity, tightening vertical dispersion at distance.
Consistent Jacket: Minimizes yaw and enhances accuracy potential across mixed shooting positions.
Real-World Performance Advantages
Better in the Wind: The 68gr OTM’s higher BC compared to lighter .223 bullets helps cut wind drift on 200–600 yard steel and paper.
Predictable POI: Quality control supports repeatable point of impact across lots, making it easier to trust your zero and data.
Cleaner Training: Clean-burning powder reduces carbon build-up, keeping your rifle running longer between deep cleanings.
Smooth Cycling: Brass cases and consistent sizing promote reliable feeding in AR-15 platforms and bolt-action rifles alike.
Ideal Use Cases
Precision Carbine Matches: PRS/NRL-style gas-gun stages, field matches, or club-level comps.
Zero & Dope Work: Establish and verify ballistic data at 100–600 yards.
Marksmanship Practice: Positional shooting, barricade drills, and prone group work.
Varmint/Target: Where accuracy and consistent expansion-free bullet construction (OTM) are preferred for clean holes on paper/steel and predictable flight.
Tips for Best Results
Confirm Twist Rate: 68gr commonly performs best in 1:7 to 1:9 twist barrels; most modern AR-15s qualify.
True Your Data: Chronograph a 10-shot string and true your ballistic solver for your barrel length and conditions.
Lot Tracking: Keep box labels for lot numbers; note ambient conditions for data you can trust next time out.
Maintain Your Zero: Re-verify after optics changes, mount torque checks, or long trips.
Storage & Handling
Store ammo cool and dry, away from oils/solvents.
Keep in original packaging for lot control and quick round counts.
Follow first-in/first-out rotation to maintain freshness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will 68gr OTM stabilize in my barrel?
A: Most 1:7–1:9 twist .223/5.56 barrels stabilize 68gr well. Check your twist rate for best results.
Q: Is OTM the same as a hunting bullet?
A: OTM is designed for accuracy and is not a bonded or controlled-expansion hunting bullet. For big game, choose purpose-built expanding bullets compliant with your local regulations.
Q: Can I shoot this in a 5.56 NATO chamber?
A: Many 5.56 rifles safely fire .223 Rem. Always confirm your firearm’s manual and observe pressure/velocity differences.
Q: Is the brass reloadable?
A: Yes—cases are brass and typically reloadable. Inspect and prep per standard reloading practices.
