223 (5.56) Ammo

Order this case of 223 ammo from WOLF and you’ll have 500 rounds that are perfect for the range. They use WOLF’s PolyFormance coating on the case to enhance smooth feeding and extraction, and have a full metal jacket, which results in less fouling in the barrel. The 55-grain bullet may not be the biggest available, but it delivers a muzzle velocity of 3,241 feet per second, making it one of the fastest rounds on the market. These rounds are packaged 20 rounds per box so with the full case you'll get 50 boxes total.

WOLF specializes in ammo for high-volume target shooters. They create affordable options for autoloading rifles and handguns, all without sacrificing performance and ballistics.

If you want a rifle cartridge that delivers tremendous speed with outstanding accuracy, then the .223 Remington should be at the top of your list. Although it has its roots in military service, this popular round is used for varmint hunting, target shooting, and competition. It’s one of the most popular cartridges for high-volume shooting, giving gun owners reliable performance and consistency.

We gotta pose a serious question to you. Do you really need fancy packaging in order to enjoy your 223 Rem target ammo? If your answer is “I’m a simple kind of man or lady who can make do with most any kind of packaging, as a matter of fact,” then American Quality Ammunition’s big loose-packed box of 223 Rem ammo is going to appeal to your sensibilities in a big way.

This is real target shootin’ stuff, no two ways about it. You don’t need anything more technologically sophisticated than this round’s 55 grain full metal jacket if you just want to print holes around a bullseye (or inside the bullseye, if you’re really sharp).

The FMJ has a lead core and copper-alloy jacket: the two reasons why it can’t attract a magnet. It’s also got a cannelure to keep recoil from yanking it out of the case mouth. That very same bullet is suspended in the mouth of a new brass case, atop a nest of clean-burning powder with a noncorrosive Boxer primer to set events into motion.

Load up on some high quality, low cost ammunition for your favorite AR or other .223/5.56mm caliber rifle. PMC Bronze ammunition comes from South Korea out of some of the most sophisticated and efficient manufacturing plants. A length of experience producing ammunition for NATO countries as well as adherence to U.S. standard tolerances has resulted in inexpensive ammo with high reliability.

These cartridges are constructed using reloadable brass casings fitted with non-corrosive Boxer primers and topped by full metal jacket boat-tail (FMJ-BT) bullets. The bullets weigh in at 55 grains which is a standard across the board for the caliber and will stabilize with the widest ranges of barrel lengths and twists. In addition, the boat tail tapered rear of the bullet reduces drag and increases accuracy. This bulk pack of 1,000 rounds is great to stock up on for matches and classes and has been specifically recommended by some training companies like the United States Shooting Academy (USSA).

“Made in America.” It’s an investment in homegrown quality. A patent that you care about your brother and sister Americans. A promise that we’ll hand our proud legacy of manufacturing down to our children. And it’s just one of many good things about Hornady Frontier 223 Remington ammo.

This cartridge is loaded with Hornady’s own full metal jacket. It’s steel-free. It weighs 55 grains. It fragments upon high-velocity collision with soft tissue, but does not expand. Upon departing a 24” barrel at its advertised muzzle velocity of 3,240 fps, it conserves over 1,000 ft lbs of kinetic energy until around 93 yards (G1 BC 0.243). In short, it’s everything a 223 Rem 55 grain FMJ should be.

This cartridge was loaded by the Lake City Army Ammunition plant. All its other components are accordingly military grade, including its noncorrosive primers and annealed-yet-unpolished cases. All 200 rounds come lovingly nestled inside a reusable field box. Yours with fast shipping!

Get in your range time without breaking the bank, with this case of Fiocchi ammunition.

This case of 1000 rounds is loaded by the increasingly popular Fiocchi Ammunition Company. Fiocchi produces a wide variety of range training, self defense, and hunting ammunition, and is sold in the US and several other countries around the world. The Italian based ammo manufacturer primarily produces quality yet affordable brass cased ammunition and uses a variety of projectiles made both in-house and by other highly reputable companies.

This ammunition is loaded with a 55 grain full metal jacket bullet, and has muzzle velocities of about 3,200 feet per second. This ammo is great for all types for range training and tactical training, including high precision marksmanship training. This ammo is also cheap enough to make a good plinking round and accurate enough to be used with hunting small varmints, although it does not expand on impact with its target. Order your case today, and safe shooting!

PMC. Magtech. Prvi Partizan. Sellier & Bellot. Shooters often turn these manufacturers for target-grade 223 Rem ammo. This is smart, because they make good ammo.

But what if you’d rather buy American? Perhaps something with FMJs made in Nebraska, and loaded at the U.S. government’s largest ammo factory? Well, in that case you’d better order yourself four 200-round field boxes of Hornady Frontier.

This is essentially “223 Rem M193,” as it is loaded with 55 grain bullets and powder that accelerates them to 3,240 fps out of a 24” test barrel. Center up 1.5” and aim to 200 yards, and trajectory will peak at around 1.5”. Very standard performance, and very familiar to anyone who knows what AR-15s do.

These mighty rangers are loaded with nonmagnetic bullets and noncorrosive primers, as well as unpolished yet very evidently correctly annealed reloadable brass cases. If you decide to leave the empty field boxes out in the woods, then at least have the courtesy to leave some dollhouse furniture behind so forest gnomes can move in.

Not familiar with Patriot Sports? That’s OK! They’re still relatively new, having only been founded in 2021. The Kansas-based company exists to supply STV Technology’s fine Czech-made ammunition to American sportsmen, and the brand is quickly on its way to becoming a mainstay at ranges across the country.

STV Technology’s state-of-the-art production facility, strict quality assurance protocol, and closely monitored manufacturing processes all exist for one purpose: your shootin’ pleasure. Whether you’re heating up your AR or any other 5.56/223 firearm, you’re sure to approve of Patriot Sports ammo’s clean performance, predictable accuracy, and repeated reloadability.

This ammo features nonmagnetic 55 grain full metal jacket projectiles, never-before-fired brass cases, and modern primers which cannot and will not rust out your gun. It’s loaded to C.I.P. specifications, which means any American-made firearms can handle it without issue. One case contains 50 boxes of ammo. Stack ‘em high and deep!

Federal American Eagle ammunition is a great choice for target shooting and range training. Federal loads these new production rounds into boxer primed brass cases that are re-loadable and feature a standard 55 grain FMJ-BT projectile. The American Eagle line of ammo is designed to deliver consistent and reliable performance without breaking the bank. These rounds are perfect for shooters who require high quality rounds but still want to volume shoot at the range.

Federal is one of America's most trusted ammunition brands and has the experience to back it up. They have been producing ammo since 1922 and their products are proudly made in America. Whether you are heading to the range next weekend or buying a couple cases to re-stock your supplies, Federal American Eagle is the right choice.

Grab one of these 500 rounds cases of high quality ammunition and check out our Targets if you need something to shoot at on your next range day!

Are you the kind of cosmopolitan shooter who would consider firing 5.56x45mm ammo that wasn’t made in America? Then pull out your world map and put a pin in Turkey, because your next batch of M193 is coming from there!

Turan most certainly didn’t do anything funky or special when they created this 5.56 load. It’s got the standard 55 grain full metal jacket projectile most AR owners want: a nonmagnetic bullet, with a brass jacket and lead core that cannot deliver terminal expansion. It’ll hop out of the gun at a velocity of 3,166 fps, give or take 50 fps or so.

This ammo is loaded according to C.I.P. specifications (basically the European equivalent to SAAMI, which means it ought to function in your American firearm without issue). The manufacturer was founded many years after corrosive primers were universally abandoned, and only loads new brass shells of their own creation.

The X-TAC line from PMC more closely follows the same specifications used for manufacturing military grade ammunition. As a result, this 1000 bulk pack of 5.56mm has a few features that you won't find in usual lots of inexpensive ammo. These XP193 rounds are great for rainy day storage, high round count classes, practice sessions, fun plinking, and building a ballistic chart close to NATO-spec M193.

Like M193, these XP193 rounds feature 55 grain bullets which are compatible with the widest range of barrel lengths and twists of AR, SCAR, ACR, and other 5.56x45mm chambered rifles. The full metal jacket boat tail (FMJ-BT) projectiles feature a toothed cannelure which prevents round setback during rough handling or repeated loading and live ejection; bullet setback can affect accuracy or even cause catastrophic firearm failure. In addition, the reloadable brass casings have a consistent coat of sealant surrounding their non-corrosive Boxer primers which prevents moisture from entering the cartridge and creating dud rounds. The casings are also annealed for added strength to prevent pressure-induced malfunctions and guarantee long brass life for reloaders.

PMC ammunition is produced in South Korea on some of the same tooling and machines used to supply NATO countries with war-fighting ammo. These bulk packs are highly regarded among American shooters for their inexpensive cost, high reliability, and adherence to M193 specification.

This 5.56x45 ammunition by Magtech offers mil-spec performance at a reasonable price for your AR-15 or other 5.56 rifle. Each cartridge in this case of 1,000 fires a 55 grain full metal jacket bullet at a muzzle velocity of 3,265 feet per second (20” test barrel), right in line with the M193 specification.

This ammo is loaded in Brazil with non-corrosive Boxer primers and reloadable brass cases. CBC (which produces ammo under the Magtech, MEN and Sellier & Bellot brands) is one of the largest defense contractors in the world, and has extensive experience producing quality military grade ammunition.

This ammunition’s brass cases are brand new. The brass is only darker around the case neck because it was annealed at the factory (a process which strengthens brass) without subsequent polishing. The discoloration is purely cosmetic and will not impact performance in the slightest.

We serve a lot of reloading enthusiasts here at Widener’s. Reloaders are people who generally turn their noses up at steel cased ammo, which means they have little use for Wolf’s regular stuff. But Wolf Gold is an exception. Not only does this 5.56x45 cartridge have a reloadable brass case, but its bullet is nonmagnetic for compliance at indoor ranges!

Wolf gave this round a 55 grain FMJ, the bullet of choice for training, target shooting and spur of the moment plinking. The FMJ utilizes an economical, smooth feeding, and clean shooting design instead of one that delivers terminal expansion. Wolf’s concentric copper jacket and pure lead core offer decent target grade accuracy. At a muzzle velocity of 3,250 fps this round achieves in-flight and terminal ballistics comparable to the ball M193 load.

Wolf’s brass case boasts a concentric neck, consistent wall thickness, and non-corrosive Boxer primer. It’s ready for round two at your reloading station as soon as you’ve fired it. This round’s smokeless propellant burns clean to create a steady chamber pressure. Just take care that it may be too much pressure for a rifle chambered only for 223 Rem to handle.

Although it performs nearly identically to their premiere Exacta line of ammunition, Fiocchi’s Shooting Dynamics ammo is priced so you can train longer and get more out of your trips to the range. These 1,000 rounds are not remotely wanting in the quality department -- their brass casings are fresh from the factory (possibly in Italy, more likely in Ozark, MO), their Boxer primers are responsive and non-corrosive, and their propellant is clean burning and matched to deliver a consistent chamber pressure, shot after shot.

This M193 Ball round boasts a 55 grain projectile with a full metal jacket, so it’ll feed without issue in your AR-15 and penetrate even unconventional plinking targets. The bullet further features a boat tail design, so its ballistic coefficient is high to give it a flattened trajectory, lower sensitivity to crosswinds, and the ability to retain a better part of its velocity downrange.

Are you looking for a military grade solution for all of your target shooting, plinking, and training needs? Then this rugged 5.56x45 cartridge from Hornady’s Frontier line of ammunition is ready for action. It is loaded at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant, and accordingly all of its components are thoroughly up to snuff. You can make great use of this round’s rugged brass casing at your reloading bench, provided you’ve the means to deal with a military primer crimp. That’s hardly a problem if you know how to go about it.

This cartridge sports a 55 grain projectile. The gilded metal jacket wrapped around its lead alloy core hardens it substantially, allowing it to prevent lead fouling and penetrate most common targets on impact. The bullet’s concentric jacket and extremely fast muzzle velocity give it a nice, flat trajectory, the sort you could depend on to hit varmint-sized targets if you so wished.

Some of our customers will use this ammunition for complicated training exercises. Many more will fire it for the sake of pure fun. But do you know what those operators and plinkers share in common? They all love their Federal Black Packs!

Here’s your chance to top up on a case of four individual Black Packs: 150 rounds apiece, with no extra packaging to slow a shooter down. Each cartridge is topped off with a 55 grain full metal jacket projectile, which (A) is nonmagnetic, (B) attains 3,240 fps muzzle velocity in conjunction with a 24” barrel, and (C) delivers the flat trajectory and consistent accuracy that are appreciated regardless of which type of target shooting you’re into.

What does Federal Premium load in the snowy state of Minnesota? Reloadable virgin brass cases! Sensitive and completely noncorrosive Boxer primers! Fast-and-clean-burning propellant! And what does their Black Pack ammunition contain? Precisely those things.

Get your fill of M855 style ammo with this 1000 round bulk pack of PMC's X-TAC NATO 5.56mm. Just like milspec M855, these rounds use 62 grain bullets with light-amor penetrating* steel tips which are painted green for easy identification. As a result, these rounds will match ballistic tables and ballistic drop compensation (BDC) reticles commonly used with modern low power scopes. The reloadable brass casings are annealed at the neck and shoulder for added strength (useful to reloaders) while the non-corrosive Boxer primers are bordered by moisture-blocking sealant. The bullets are full metal jacket (FMJ) and possess toothed cannelures to prevent projectile setback.

PMC is a South Korean based company that sources its ammunition from plants that supply to the ROK military as well as other to other NATO countries. Their X-TAC line is highly regarded for adhering to stringent military specification while still maintaining an inexpensive price for all shooters.

*While this is not armor-penetrating ammunition by definition, some ranges will not allow these rounds to be fired indoors nor outdoors on certain steel targets.

Are you still hunting varmints and predators with a rock, and want to upgrade to a 223 Rem (or 5.56x45mm) rifle? Or are you looking for 223 hunting ammo that offers fairly similar recoil and ballistic performance to M193 ball? Either way, you can stack all your chips on Armscor’s American-made ammo!

This round’s 55 grain bullet isn’t the M193’s full metal jacket, though. It’s a pointed soft point, which combines a ballistically efficient nose profile and unjacketed tip to deliver a flat trajectory that ends in lethal terminal expansion. No coyote on either side of the Mississippi is walking off a direct hit with one of these (nonmagnetic and unbonded) PSP projectiles!

We sell Armscor’s unprimed component brass quite often here at Widener’s. This ammo is loaded with the exact same shells, so you can rest assured you’ll still have good reloadables after taking it for a walk at the range or in the field. You get 50 individual boxes when you spring for the whole case!

We’d all love to go target shooting with top-shelf match-grade ammunition every day. Sadly, we’re all locked into the same reality where fancy things cost $$$.

But what if you could get away with only spending $$ – or possibly even just $ – and still have yourself a grand old time at the gun range? You can! And it’s easy. Just let us deliver some Federal Black Packs to your stoop.

This is essentially the 223 Rem version of 5.56 M193. Fifty-five grain projectile? Check. Full metal jacket? Check. Muzzle velocity of 3,240 fps (with reasonable give and take) out of a 24” barrel? Check. Truly a great combination for all-day range fun!

This noncorrosive ammo’s nonmagnetic FMJs will wallop varmints without fail, and they’ll tear themselves to pieces if they strike a threat at high velocity. Even so, we’d recommend a bullet that’s more fine tuned for defense if you’re defending the castle.

And its cases? New! Brass! Reloadable!

This case of 1,000 rounds in .223 Remington comes packaged in five convenient "battle packs" of 200 rounds each. These packs are individually sealed in plastic for easy transportation and long-term storage. An excellent choice for fans of the AR-15 and other .223/5.56 NATO rifles!

Each cartridge in this case fires a 55 grain full metal jacket bullet. Expect performance similar to M193 ball ammunition and good medium-range accuracy with minimal felt recoil.

PMC ammo is loaded in South Korea by Poongsan, a large munitions manufacturer best known in that country for supplying the Republic of Korea Armed Forces.

Winchester’s USA label doesn’t just stand for American-made. It stands for consistent quality and satisfying target-grade accuracy that you’ll want to take with you whenever you visit the range.

Winchester manufactures their white box ammo specifically for the civilian shooter. They did load this 5.56x45 ammo to our military’s M193 specifications, however, which means it offers the same kind of performance which most veterans of the Armed Forces must already be familiar with.

This cartridge has a 55 grain full metal jacket projectile. At that weight it achieves a steady 3,180 fps muzzle velocity, which will keep it traveling at supersonic speed until around 700 yards – well beyond the 5.56’s effective range. The FMJ’s hard jacket promotes positive functioning in a semi-auto courtesy of its ability to feed smoothly and prevent rapid fouling. This round’s FMJ cannot expand inside soft tissue, although it may fragment apart at higher velocities.

This ammo also sports virgin brass cases. You will notice that they are discolored in the areas where they were annealed, which indicates that the brass is elastic enough to return to its original dimensions after ignition. Alongside their non-corrosive Boxer primers, that makes this ammo’s cases perfect for handloaders.

If you look up “CBC,” then you’ll see that it’s some kind of Canadian propaganda machine. Don’t worry! This ammo isn’t made by them. It’s made by Companhia Brasileira de Cartuchos, which is one of the world’s biggest ammo producers – an absolute juggernaut, whose subsidiary Magtech is extremely popular among budget-conscious shooters nationwide.

Some 5.56x45 ammo is really fancy: match grade, and loaded with bullets that have precision-drawn jackets and form-fitted lead cores. This is M193 spec ammo: the exact opposite, which is loaded with regular old target-grade full metal jackets. These rounds’ FMJs can’t undergo terminal expansion. They also can’t move a magnet, because they are absolutely and completely devoid of ferrous metals.

Despite its military designation, this M193 ammo isn’t surplus. It’s new, unblemished, noncorrosive, and adorned with never-before-chambered brass cases. They’re reloadable, and we’ll even sell you the component bullets you need for the job!

Typewriters need ink. Semi-trucks need diesel. And high-volume target shooters need Winchester USA 223 Rem ammo by the case. These nonmagnetic, non-corrosive and brass-cased beauts are all your 5.56 or 223 rifle requires in order to start singing your favorite tune.

If this was a 5.56 round, then it would conform to the military's M193 specs to a T. Its 55 grain FMJ is loaded to a muzzle velocity of 3,240 fps, so it’s going to deliver recoil and ballistic performance that are really familiar to any AR-15 aficionado. Winchester’s FMJ has a cannelure to prevent setback in the magazine, as well as the uniformly distributed lead core and concentric copper alloy jacket that good accuracy both hinge upon.

A lot of people take a look at this ammo’s cases and wonder if it has been previously fired and reloaded. Not so! Winchester just saved time by not polishing the brass after fortifying it via heat treatment. A supple case promotes cleaner performance by expanding to seal off the chamber during ignition, and it reliably returns to its original dimensions so it can serve well at the reloading bench.

We dream of a world … a perfect world, where no AR-15 enthusiast ever has to go without the 5.56x45 ammo they need for training, target shooting, plinking and crisis preparation. Unfortunately, that perfect world may never come to be. But have we lost heart? Never! Because so long as Winchester loads 5.56, any shooter can stock up in a big way.

You could join the Army if you wanted M193 spec ammo, but Winchester has made getting your hands on it slightly easier. These rounds are topped off with full metal jackets: each 55 grains, and due to attain a muzzle velocity of 3,180 fps in conjunction with a 20” barrel. The nonmagnetic flat base bullet’s 0.250 G1 BC reflects its ability to reach a 200-yard zero in less than one quarter of one second, and then drop by -7.38” at 300 yards. That flat trajectory is just one of the reasons why so many folks love and swear by the good ol’ five-five-six.

Winchester doesn’t shine up this reloadable ammo’s brass cases after annealing them. That just means you can see the discoloration which proves they were properly heat-treated. Throw in Winchester’s corrosion-free Boxer primers, and you’re in for a real smooth ride.

This is a two-box case of ammo: 500 rounds per case, each weighing 13.3 pounds.

Winchester Universal Game & Target 223 Rem ammo isn’t designed for playing parcheesi and defending Minnesotan department stores from terrorist attacks. It’s designed for hunting small game and improving your marksmanship – or just having fun at the range!

No ho-hum old FMJ here. This round’s powered by a 55 grain boat tail hollow point, which leverages its form-fitted lead core and thin jacket to provide its shooter with a flatter, more standardized trajectory. The BTHP’s angled base reduces interference from wind drift and helps the bullet reach its target with more kinetic energy. The BTHP won’t widen out to inflict extra damage, although its meaty impact alone should prove enough to down any small game.

These rounds are loaded with Winchester’s usual target-grade Boxer primers and propellent as well as (potentially unpolished, but absolutely new regardless) brass cases. Save those. They are reloadable, and we’ll sell you the bullets you need to reload them!

You: looking for American-made 223 Rem ammo that will prepare you equally well for range shooting and varmint hunting.
Wideners.com: selling Winchester Universal Game & Target ammunition by the case.
Us: a match made in heaven.

Winchester loaded this multi-use cartridge with an accuracy-forward bullet. The 62 grain open tip may lack the capacity for terminal expansion, but its excellent accuracy (the product of its concentric copper shell, shielded base, and jacket-hugging lead core) makes it that much easier to put its 62 grains precisely where you want them to go. You’d do well to select a more appropriate bullet for deer, but the open tip is what burrowers and yotes fear.

This is Winchester’s white box ammo. It’s loaded in the USA with bullets that contain zero steel in their jackets or cores, as well as trustworthy Boxer primers and smooth-feeding brass. Those new cases are very much reloadable. Prove it by handloading them!

These .223 Remington rounds from Federal utilize many of the features that go into premium 5.56x45mm milspec rounds but without the increased cost. Each round is built using a reloadable brass casing mated to a non-corrosive Boxer primer via solid seating and primer sealant; this compound prevents moisture from penetrating through to reach the clean-burning propellant. The casings are also firmly crimped to the toothed cannelure of each bullet to prevent setback and optimize reliability.

The projectile used in this cartridge design is a non-penetrating, 62 grain full metal jacket boat tail (FMJ-BT) bullet that is not attracted to a magnet. The rear curvature of the FMJ-BT shape resists drag and is less susceptible to in-flight shift. This combines with a well-studied 62 grain weight to provide shooters with accurate and predictable ballistic performance. Federal's American Eagle line is intended to be a low-cost plinking solution that doesn't skip out on quality enhancements.

Look no further for affordable mil-spec ammo for your AR-15! These 5.56 NATO cartridges from PMC come packaged in a bulk priced case of 1,000. Each case contains five "battle packs" of 200 rounds each. These packs are sealed in lightweight, weather-resistant plastic for easy transportation and storage.

Each round in this case of 1,000 follows the M193 specification, firing a 55 grain full metal jacket bullet at 3,240 feet per second.

PMC brand ammunition is manufactured by South Korean defense contractor Poongsan, one of the largest suppliers to the Republic of Korea Armed Forces. It uses non-corrosive Boxer primers and reloadable brass cases.

You didn’t put together the world’s sweetest AR-15 rifle just because you want to show it off to your buddies. No – you actually want to fire the thing as well, which is why you need no less than one full case of Winchester’s famous white label ammo. These range loads are made in Illinois and ready to deliver the consistent performance you need for any kind of recreational target shooting. Good to have in store for an ugly situation as well!

This cartridge is equipped with a 55 grain bullet. At that weight it’s able to leave an rifle barrel at a velocity of 3,240 fps, just like the U.S. Armed Forces’ equivalent M193 round. The aerodynamic bullet achieves a 0.274 ballistic coefficient, so it won’t even have to rise by 6” when you’re aiming for the 300-yard target line!

Although this round’s bullet is capable of fragmenting apart into shrapnel as it pierces soft tissue, the non-expanding FMJ is typically favored for plinking and training. This is a steel-free bullet, so you’re A-OK to take it to ranges which prohibit magnetic ammo. The bullet’s resilient jacket resists deformation and jamming during feeding, and its full cannelure wards off setback in the magazine.

USA label ammo has new and durable brass cases. You’ll notice they’re gray around their shoulders, but that’s just the natural result of fortifying heat-treatment. These rounds’ non-corrosive Boxer primers make them repeatedly reloadable!

This case of ammo contains exactly 600 bangs for your AR-15 rifle. Use those bangs to make yourself a better marksman at the range, or just to play around with your latest build in your backyard (assuming you live in the kind of place that tolerates backyard rifle use).

Winchester’s USA series 5.56x45 ammo is rudimentary – but that doesn’t mean it’s low-quality. Each cartridge in this case is loaded with a consistent 55 grain full metal jacket projectile, and achieves the 3,180 fps muzzle velocity a rifle needs to cycle reliably and spit out flat, accurate trajectories.

The FMJ will not expand inside of soft tissue, although its tendency to fragment following high-velocity impact would spell a difficult time for any threat you were forced to neutralize with this range ammo. This is nonmagnetic ammo: Those jackets are made of copper alloy, and their cores are solid lead.

Winchester’s new production ammo is loaded with non-corrosive Boxer-primed brass cases. These are not reloaded. They are discolored around their mouths, but that’s only because Winchester does not make their military grade cases pretty by polishing them.

Marksmanship is a depreciable skill. You’re either making yours better through regular target practice, or you’re letting it get worse by slacking off.

We’d never accuse you of being a slacker, of course. Look how diligently you’re reading the product descriptions on Widener's – the mark of a real go-getter. We like your style! That’s why we’ll feel proud when we ship you 600 rounds of Winchester’s high-quality 223 Rem range ammunition.

This is just about the most vanilla 223 you could invest your hard-earned money in. It’s loaded with standard 55 grain full metal jacket projectiles: nonmagnetic, non-expanding, and perched above the clean-burning propellant charges they need to clear muzzle at a rate of 3,240 fps (20” bbl). We estimate this round’s FMJ’s G1 ballistic coefficient at 0.274, which stands for a 250-yard trajectory that climaxes around 3.5” above the bore line.

Winchester’s USA series ammo is loaded with primo reloadable cases. If you’re not accustomed to seeing military grade brass, then you may wonder if this ammo’s cases are discolored because they were previously reloaded. They were not. They just weren’t polished up for better cosmetics after they were heat-treated for added suppleness.

We’re not saying that this is exactly the same 5.56x45mm ammo you’d receive if you went ahead and joined the South Korean military. That said, it is made by PMC – the South Korean military’s chief ammo supplier – and it’s certainly packaged like PMC intended it for the front line.

Make no mistake, though: This is brand new ammo. It’s noncorrosive, it’s nonmagnetic, and its reloadable brass cases have never before sparkled in the light of day. Very nice! Each round is armed with the target shooter’s preferred 55 grain full metal jacket boat tail projectile. PMC recorded its 3,270 fps muzzle velocity and 0.243 G1 ballistic coefficient with a 20” barrel; aim to 100 yards through 1.5” sights, and drop at 200 yards will be approximately -2.6”.

This ammo is packaged in a new M2A1 ammo can, which will keep its contents fresh and ready for action pretty much indefinitely. One can contains six bandoliers, each of which holds 14 clips. And just like your favorite breakfast cereal from back when you were a kid, there’s a free spoon inside the box!

This high grade .223 Remington ammunition from Hornady is an excellent choice for discerning shooters who want better performance than what typical range fodder can provide, but don't want to spend large amounts on match-grade ammo.

Each round in this case of 500 (split into 10 boxes of 50 rounds each) fires a 55 grain boat-tailed full metal jacket bullet at a muzzle velocity of 3,240 feet per second. This produces ballistics similar to M193 ball ammo.

Hornady ammo is loaded in Grand Island, Nebraska and uses non-corrosive Boxer primers and reloadable brass cases.

Developed out of a need for quality ammunition in the aftermath of World War Two, Hornady has been providing consumers with quality ammo for decades. Today, they continue their legacy as one of the best ammunition manufacturers.

Looking for some cheap .223 ammo to do a massive amount of shooting? You have just that right here. With 500 rounds of .223 Rem ammo, you can plink away or hone in your shooting skills and even hunt boar for quite a while. This high quality Hornady ammo fires at 3240 feet per second, and with a 55 grain SP round traveling like that, you should have no problem wiping out those pesky varmints or putting pork on the table.

Guns would still exist in a perfect world. In fact, there’d be even more of them. And so long as we’re dreaming, there would also be free 500-round boxes of Winchester 5.56x45 ammunition given away at every gas station, liquor store and donut shop. Fortunately, until that perfect world exists, you’ll still be able to find plenty of 500-round boxes of Winchester 5.56x45 right here on Widener’s. (It just won’t be free.)

This is simple and true range ammunition, made by the same company which manages the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant on the behalf of the U.S. government. It’s M193 spec, which is only to say that it is loaded with the classic 55 grain full metal jacket bullet. Once that 0.250 G1 BC FMJ accelerates to a velocity of 3,180 fps (the rate at which it exits a 20” barrel), its trajectory only has to rise by 5.2” before hitting a 300-yard target. (If you’ve got 1.5” high sights, that is.)

Each round in this big box is loaded with a military-grade Boxer primer (noncorrosive) and new brass case (reloadable). Winchester didn’t shine the cases’ necks and shoulders up after annealing them, thus providing visual proof that they were created properly.

This mil-spec ammunition from Magtech follows the M193 specification and delivers the same ballistics as many other 5.56 NATO/.223 Remington loads manufactured to this standard. Each cartridge in this box of 50 fires a 55 grain full metal jacket bullet at a muzzle velocity of 3,240 feet per second.

Magtech ammunition is loaded in Brazil and uses non-corrosive Boxer primers and reloadable brass cases. An excellent choice for target shooting with AR-15s and other rifles in this popular caliber.

Like all M193 ball ammo, these cartridges have visible annealing marks on the brass to indicate that the round has been assembled properly. These marks are often polished out of commercial ammo for purely cosmetic reasons.

This 5.56x45mm cartridge is from Fiocchi’s Shooting Dynamics line of ammunition, and accordingly will deliver high performance out of your rifle without breaking the bank. The Italian manufacturer pours intense quality into each of their rounds’ components, so this one’s factory fresh brass casing, sensitive and non-corrosive primer, and clean burning propellant are all poised to make your precious time at the range as rewarding as can be.

This is an M193 cartridge, the same type that is commonly issued for field use in the M16A1 rifle. Its lead alloy core is wrapped in a gilded metal jacket, so it can penetrate many types of common barriers and prevent excessive fouling from quickly impacting your firearm’s accuracy. This bullet further features a tapered base, and as the result is highly accurate courtesy of its flattened trajectory, ability to resist the influence of cross winds, and tendency to keep much of its velocity even after having flown far downrange.

Here’s the problem: You ain’t got no 223 Rem ammo.
Here’s the solution: Hornady Frontier 223 Rem ammo!

Hornady is one of America’s most highly respected bullet artisans. Their projectiles are prized by handloading enthusiasts across the country – but you don’t have to be a handloader to make good use of them. Here’s your chance to appreciate Hornady’s high-quality full metal jacket in action, right out of the box!

This cartridge’s 55 grain FMJ is nonmagnetic, smooth-feeding, aerodynamic, and not much else. It’s ideal for target shooting and other scenarios where terminal expansion would provide no real advantage. An FMJ won’t deliver quite as dramatic terminal ballistics as a V-MAX or other similar polymer-tipped projectile, but it’s still plenty effective for tagging small game. Shoot that pesky porcupine before it can get to your poor, innocent dog!

This ammo is loaded by the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant – same outfit that makes most of the small arms materiel for the U.S. Armed Forces. Noncorrosive Boxer primers. Factory-fresh brass cases, which weren’t polished after they were heat-treated and are therefore darker-colored around their necks and shoulders. Hornady recorded this round’s muzzle velocity and 0.243 G1 BC with a 24” test barrel.

This PMC 223 Remington Battle Pack is great choice for range training or target practice. Newly manufactured, the rounds are packed with full metal jacket boat-tail projectiles and have a muzzle velocity of 2,300 fps. These bullets were designed for more stable flight and increased accuracy.

PMC, a Korean manufacturer, has work diligently to produce quality ammo. Because of this, there products have become extremely popular with American gun owners, looking for high quality ammo on a budget. PMC it a great go-to ammo for all of you training needs.

Forget about 5.56x45 M193 ammunition, with its weak solid lead core FMJ bullets. Real operators want 5.56x45 M855 ammunition, which has strong steel core bullets!

This AR-15 round’s FMJ doesn't have a pure steel core, of course. Only the frontal section of the M855 bullet’s core is made of steel, but that’s all it needs to rip through sheet metal like it’s made out of gingerbread. This ammo’s magnetic bullets aren’t suitable for use at all commercial ranges, and they will probably damage AR500 targets, but M855 ammo is still great to have on hand for casual target shooting and serious self-defense scenarios alike.

At 62 grains, the M855 bullet is a little heavier than the usual M193 load’s 55 grain bullet. That gives it greater momentum downrange, which in turn promotes tighter accuracy. Just make sure you have a barrel with a 1:8 or 1:9 twist if you want to witness that accuracy in person!

This is new production ammo from Illinois, not something that has been gathering dust in a U.S. Army storeroom. It has non-corrosive Boxer primers and reloadable brass cases, the latter of which have been very obviously heat treated for added suppleness.

Plenty of folks love 5.56x45 M855 ammunition for everyday target shooting and plinking. So long as your range permits ammo that attracts a magnet, Winchester’s American-made M855 loads are poised to treat you famously. But if you’d like range ammo that can also tackle threats which are armored or shielded by light barriers, then M855 will fit the ticket!

This cartridge’s 62 grain bullet is a regular FMJ on the outside. Its core is made of two components: a lead rear, and a hard steel front. Its rigid meplat enables the M855 bullet to pierce a steel plate much more effectively than a standard lead core M193 bullet could have, and it also promotes deeper penetration of soft tissue.

This round’s bullet weighs a little more than average. The best AR-15 barrel twist for a 62 grain projectile is 1:9 or 1:8. A 1:7 twist is good for all but long-distance shooting, but a 1:12 twist is going to give you problems.

Winchester loads these rounds’ magnetic projectiles in new brass. The cases are a little dark around their shoulders – this doesn’t mean they have been previously fired, but rather that they have been annealed for greater durability. Once these rounds’ non-corrosive Boxers are all spent up, go right on ahead and reload them!

Whether you're training for a competitive shoot or simply want high quality .223 Remington ammunition, this target load from Hornady will serve you well. These cartridges come packaged in convenient 50 round boxes--because let's face it, most of us fire more than 20 rounds at each range session!

These cartridges have external ballistics comparable to those of M193 ball, firing a 55 grain boat-tailed full metal jacket bullet at 3,240 feet per second.

This ammunition is made in Grand Island, Nebraska using non-corrosive primers and brass cases.

Load up your magazines with a few boxes of this high quality XP193 5.56mm ammo from PMC. XP193 from PMC's X-TAC line follows the same specification as military-grade M193 ammo and comes at a low cost for all shooters to enjoy. Zero in peace knowing that your rifle will follow proven ballistic tables that have been in circulation for decades.

These cartridges come 20 to a box and feature reloadable brass casings that have been annealed at the neck and shoulder for strength and longevity. The cases are fitted with non-corrosive Boxer primers which are pressed in with red primer sealant for moisture protection. The casings are also crimped around every 55 grain bullet's toothed cannelure in order to prevent bullet setback from repeated loading and unloading. 55 grain full metal jacket (FMJ) bullets are a commercial standard for the caliber and will function and fly great out of the widest range of ARs, SCARs, Mini-14s, and other 5.56x45mm chambered rifles with varying barrel lengths and twists.

PMC ammunition is sourced from South Korea and carries a great reputation for consistent quality due to experience producing ammo for NATO militaries. Their ammunition is great for matches, classes, and zeroing and is well known for being quite inexpensive relative to its M193 specification.

You won’t catch us complaining about getting 150 rounds of 223 Rem to a single box. That’s enough so we can spend hours meticulously lining up sniper shots, and it’s also spot on for exactly five 30-round mag dumps. Winchester USA 223 really is good for both occasions.

This is basic ammo as far as your AR-15 is concerned, and the foundation of any respectable arsenal. Each round wears a 55 grain bullet that rips out of the barrel at 3,240 fps. That’ll treat you to the flat trajectory the AR-15 is beloved for. The bullet has a full metal jacket, which keeps the lead in its core from touching the barrel and hardens the bullet to prevent deformation during ignition.

We don’t recommend the FMJ, which does not expand, for hunting. And as far as self-defense is concerned, there are better bullets for neutralizing a human-sized threat. But when such bullets are not available, you’ll find an eighth ounce of solid metal striking a target at nearly three times the speed of sound makes quite an impact whichever way you slice it.

A lot of folks look at this ammo’s brass cases and assume they’ve already been fired. But that isn’t the the situation! These military-grade cases are discolored because they’ve been annealed, which makes them more supple for better functionality. This reloadable ammo is also non-corrosive and nonmagnetic, so it offers great value, clean performance, and versatility when it comes to which indoor ranges you can train at.

Inexpensive and reliable, Wolf ammunition is a great choice for shooters looking to maximize their dollar at the range. These .223 Remington cartridges work well in AR-15s, Mini-14s, and a variety of other .223/5.56 NATO rifles.

Each cartridge in this 20-round box propels a 55 grain full metal jacket bullet at 3,130 feet per second. This load's external ballistics are comparable to those of M193 ball ammo.

This ammunition is made in Russia using non-corrosive Berdan primers and non-reloadable steel cases with friction-reducing polymer coatings.

Wolf Ammo has recently told customers to not use their 223 Rem ammo in any Smith & Wesson M&P 15 rifles. We highly recommend you follow their warning until you hear otherwise.

When a 5.56x45 cartridge’s bullet is able to attract a magnet, that usually means it’s a cheapie from Russia. But that’s not the case with Winchester’s American-made 5.56x45 M855 ammo. This round’s bullet features a partial steel core, which enables it to reliably pass through sheet metal at ranges within 650 yards!

This round’s bullet weighs in at 62 grains, which is heavier than average for a 5.56 load. The bullet’s superior momentum confers a flatter trajectory, which is also better protected against the straying effects of crosswinds. An AR-15 or other rifle with a 1:9 or 1:8 rate of twist is ideal for a 62 grain load like this, but a faster twist won’t keep you from hitting your targets by any means.

This military-grade ammo is loaded with low-residue powder and non-corrosive Boxer primers, as well as newly produced brass cases. The reloadable brass cases weren’t polished before they were shipping out, which is why you can plainly see where they were heat-treated.

This sealed pack of 200 cartridges in 5.56 NATO is a convenient choice for long-term storage and easy transportation to the range. These rounds follow the M193 specification and are great for AR-15s and similar rifles.

It features a select and reloadable brass casing as well as a military grade propellant and Boxer primer. This round’s 55 grain Match projectile is highly accurate, and that it’s a hollow point means it sports the terminal performance you can bank on to drop varmints or other small game. Invest in these 500 rounds and enjoy seamlessly transitioning from one type of shooting to another.

PMC's .223 Remington has become one of the most popular rounds in the country. Used for target shooting and competition, this bullet is now a common sight in the fields and target ranges of America.

Frontier ammunition is loaded for Hornady by the U.S. government’s own Lake City Army Ammunition Plant in Independence, Missouri. It’s high quality stuff – especially when Hornady arms it with their superior HP Match projectiles!

This round’s 55 grain hollow point is not designed to expand as it penetrates soft tissue. The narrow opening in its nose indicates that the bullet’s swaged lead core is perfectly form-fitted to its jacket, where it was poured into place. The HP Match’s evenly distributed core is complemented by Hornady’s signature AMP jacket, which is a virtually perfectly concentric copper shell.

This balanced bullet is also extremely aerodynamic. Its graceful secant ogive geometry gives way to a ballistically efficient boat tail. When the bullet is fired through a 24” barrel to achieve a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.254, its velocity remains at least Mach 2 until it reaches the 275-yard line!

This ammo’s uniform brass cases ensure smooth cycling through any bolt-action or semi-auto, and its matched primers and propellant serve up consistent recoil and ballistics. One 500 round case is divided among 25 boxes, so you can pass some along to your range pals (but you won’t want to).
