222 Bullets

Speer made these .224 diameter bullets specifically with America’s most popular rifle cartridge in mind! At 75 grains they are optimal for loading long range rounds, and a skilled reloader can likely make these bullets’ ballistics work for non-223 cartridges as well.

These bullets feature the total metal jackets that Speer is famous for. The Idahoan manufacturer implements a special electrochemical process to cover each bullet’s lead core entirely in a durable, even jacket. Unlike an FMJ, the TMJ additionally shields the core of the bullet at the base. This prevents deformation that could harm accuracy during ignition, as well as the evaporation of lead that leads to accelerated bore fouling. It also prevents the creation of lead vapors that you’re better off not breathing in!

Speer is in control of their manufacturing process. They mean it when they say their bullet weighs 75 grains, and these bullets boast a highly standardized .725” length.

Please note: This is a case of component bullets for handloading. Please do not order these bullets if you want loaded ammo that you can fire right out of the box!

Don’t settle for a full metal jacket when you could have a total metal jacket. This .224” diameter bullet by Speer is 100 percent jacketed in copper, which means it doesn’t leave the lead in its core exposed to hot propellant gasses during ignition.

A TMJ offers three unique benefits that a FMJ does not. It prevents ignition from deforming its base, thus keeping its streamlined profile intact. It prevents ignition from evaporating the lead in its core, which will keep your breathing space a lot less toxic. It furthermore prevents lead residue from accumulating in the barrel, so you can enjoy greater accuracy throughout the duration of your target shooting session!

At 0.725” long, this 55 grain bullet makes a swell choice for loading 223 Rem, 5.56x45, and a variety of other rifle cartridges. Great for competition as well as plain old plinking when no one’s looking!

Want to load the kind of 223 Rem ammo that you can use to truly impress competition judges – or trim the eyelashes off a hare at several hundred yards? Speer’s got you covered. This bullet’s naturally resistant to wind drift at a hefty 75 grains, and thanks to its super concentric jacket it boasts exceptional rotational stability!

Speer’s total metal jacket does more than contribute to balance. Because the electrochemically plated TMJ additionally shields the bullet’s lead core, it bars hot propellant gasses from warping its base and impacting accuracy. And because its core doesn’t evaporate during ignition, this bullet keeps a barrel’s rifling cleaner and a shooter’s breathing space significantly more free of airborne carcinogen!

Speer makes some pretty high end stuff, so they have the setup they need make consistently heavy and .725” long 223 bullets. A great pick for long distance shooters!

Please note: This a box of 100 bullets for reloading, not loaded ammunition. You can not fire these bullets unless you know how handload.
