223 (5.56) Ammo
.223 Remington ammunition and 5.56x45 NATO are closely related and sometimes interchangeable cartridges depending on the firearm they are to be used with. Manufacturers typically offer guidance on this point. In general, the 5.56 NATO ammunition the military uses and is for sale to the civilian market operates at higher pressures than .223 Remington ammo. Most, but not all, AR-15s are chambered for 5.56 NATO and can fire both types of ammo.
Many loads in both calibers follow the M193 or M855 standard, both of which are military specifications. M193 ammo typically fires a 55 grain full metal jacket bullet at 3,240 feet per second, while M855 ammo fires a heavier 62 grain FMJ bullet at about 3,100 feet per second. These common standards are very helpful when sighting in your optics and you'll find both cartridges in-stock and available in cheap bulk packs here at Widener's
Certain specialized loads deviate from these common standards. Competition grade .223/5.56 ammo fires a heavier bullet (most commonly a Sierra MatchKing) in the 77 grain range to provide better stability and more predictable trajectories; varmint loads, on the other hand, fire light 30-40 grain bullets at very high velocities to produce lethal fragmentation against pest animals.
One of the most sought after range loads for this caliber is Lake City ammunition, which is produced by Federal Premium Ammunition at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant in Independence, Missouri. LCAAP production is typically excess from government contracts and is popular due to its military origins and high quality.

Ammo was nicely boxed and performed great.

It was low priced. But I was pleasantly surprised that it was boxed well in 20 round boxes and it looked great. Performed well too, just as all remington ammo has in the past. I like the brass, its a little heavier than other makes and reloads well.

I was looking for better accuracy than I'd found with _ _ _ _ M193 type ammo and reviews indicated the PMC was the answer. Bought a case to function test a new M-4(gery) for another shooter. This ammo is topnotch-more accurate than the carbine's owner can utilize. I just wish I'd bought two cases and kept one.

200 Rounds Fired So Far: 0 Complaints
-
The ammo came in a convenient packaging of 20 rd boxes. Convenient to load two mags of 10 rd each (in the pathetic state of CT, that's all we're allowed). No issues with the firing or ejection. Tight grouping at 25 yards after sighting in. Haven't tried 100 yards yet. No complaints

PMC Bronze is great ammo. Im on my fourth case right now, and I love it. Zero failures. With my Daniel Defense 16" Carbine and an ACOG I was effortlessly hitting 24" square steel at 500yds with 55gr! I prefer it to other ammo as most other brand 5.56 has the dirty looking annealing burn marks on the neck of the cartridge, but PMC takes the time to polish that off. It doesnt affect function of course, but it is a really nice touch. Quality ammo, buy with confidence.

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.

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. -

This is brand new Brazilian-made ammo: M193, which is basically the cool guy way of indicating that a 5.56 cartridge has a 55 grain full metal jacket. It’s the target shooter’s pal – a real straight shooter, and one that won’t attract a magnet at that.
We can’t guarantee this ammo’s exact year of manufacture, but we can assure you it was made recently – decades after the last corrosive primer was loaded, at any rate. CBC’s brass is fresh as state fair donuts and very much reloadable. If you plan on handloading this ammo, then we’d very much like to sell youthe bullets for the job.

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! -

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.

Best M855 I’ve shot

I’ve purchased dozens of cases of PMC XTAC M855 because they shoot great in both my 16” 1:7 spin carbine and my 20” 1;9 barrels. Also, they have EXCELLENT brass cases for reloading and last many reloads/firing cycles.
If you want to store these long term, they are sealed completely and should last for decades if stored in a clean sealed container.
BTW, when I started buying these ~10 years ago, they $.17/rnd. Save your brass even if you don’t reload yourself.Review by Pasky2112 (Posted on 8/14/2021)

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! -

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! -

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! -

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. -

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.

Well, we’ve got an even better kind of frontier in our warehouse: Hornady Frontier. This 223 Rem ammo features the Nebraskan company’s high-quality bullets, and it is loaded in the heart of Missouri at the feds’ own Lake City Army Ammunition Plant.
Hornady’s full metal jacket projectile is nothing out of the ordinary – just an aerodynamic bolt of brass-jacketed lead, which hits a velocity of 3,240 fps out of a 24” barrel and doesn’t become slower than the speed of sound until about 700 yards. If you zero in at 100 yards, then the bullet’s trajectory should peak about 1/2” above the bore line before reaching the target.
This ammo’s military-grade cases aren’t reloaded. They were drawn, tapered, cut and annealed at Lake City’s own factory. The cases weren’t polished there, however, which is why the brass is darker around its neck and shoulder. No old primers here! Just the noncorrosive Boxers that’ll keep your rifle silky smooth. -

If you do indeed take a .22 cal approach to deer harvesting – or want a versatile load that you can also use to take boar and smaller critters – then Armscor has already made just what you need!
• This round’s bullet weighs 62 grains. That gives it similar (yet not identical) ballistic performance to the Army’s own M855 load, as well as added momentum for deeper penetration.
• This round’s bullet has a bonded jacket. That makes its lead core and copper-alloy jacket stronger, and accordingly capable of retaining more of their combined weight – yet another feature which promotes deeper penetration.
• This round bullet is a pointed soft point. The sleek projectile overcomes frontal air resistance quite handily, and punctuates its trajectory by dishing out broad terminal expansion.

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! -

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. -

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 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 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.

PMC X-TAC 5.56x45 62 Grain FMJ M855 – 840 Rounds on Stripper Clips in Ammo Can

This 5.56x45 ammo was created for the latter purpose. It’s brand new, noncorrosive, and ready to rock range targets’ socks off.
You can call it LAP, SS109, F1, or M855. It’s all essentially the same thing: loaded with a 62 grain full metal jacket that contains a half-steel core. Unlike SS109 or F1, this round’s LAP bullet wears the same green paint on its tip as the M855.
What’s the point of the steel tip? LAP: light armor piercing. The bullet’s hard tip isn’t guaranteed to bore through steel plate, although it is more effective at its intended application than conventional FMJ ball.
If you’re new to M855 (or any other variant of “penetrator” ammo), please understand that it’s (A) banned at many indoor ranges, and (B) destructive to steel targets. Most folks who prefer M855 appreciate the ballistic advantages of the heavier bullet weight, such as higher resistance to wind deflection.
Can’t hate packaging like this: 10 rounds per stripper clip, 14 stripper clips per bandolier, 6 bandoliers per military-grade M2A1 steel ammo can. Set it aside indefinitely – or open it right away, even if you just want to get your hands on the included spoon. -

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.

Winchester USA 223 Rem 55 Grain FMJ – 150 Rounds
$83.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Winchester Condition New Bullet Weight 55 Grain Bullet Type Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) Use Type plinking at the range Casing Type Brass Quantity 150 Ammo Caliber 223 Remington Manufacturer SKU W223150 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 20892224988 Cost Per Round 55.9¢ per round 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. -

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.

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). -

As such, these affordable .223 Remington rounds will make a great choice for feeding your custom AR, stock Mini-14, or any appropriately chambered rifle in between. Each round is put together using a reloadable brass casing that has been checked over for proper dimensions for strength. The case hosts a non-corrosive Boxer primer which sends a spark to a clean-burning measure of propellant.
Each round utilizes a 55-grain soft point projectile which is weighted to match numerous training loads for both .223 Remington and 5.56x45mm; this allows shooters to use a preestablished zero while enjoying fairly comfortable recoil while hunting. The soft point bullet has a bare lead nose which expands upon impact with a target, causing the round to flatten out its tip for calculated yawing and slight tumbling.

Hornady Frontier 223 Rem 68 Grain BTHP Match – 500 Rounds
$318.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Hornady Condition New Bullet Weight 68 Grain Bullet Type Hollow-Point Boat Tail (HP-BT) Use Type match or precision shooting, plinking at the range Casing Type Brass Quantity 500 Ammo Caliber 223 Remington Manufacturer SKU FR160 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 10090255711384 Cost Per Round 63.8¢ per round This 223 Rem ammo by Hornady Frontier is designed solely around accuracy. No varmint, predator or home intruder would sign up to get hit by its heavyweight 68 grain projectile, of course, but sharpshooters will find this ammo of especial value at the rifle range!
This cartridge showcases Hornady’s own BTHP Match bullet. Its Advanced Manufacturing Process jacket possesses virtually zero flaws in its concentricity, and its form-fitted swaged lead core only serves to further heighten its rotational stability. The BTHP Match’s secant ogive profile also promotes better balance, and alongside its tapered base ensures the bullet retains sufficient momentum to achieve an impressive 0.355 G1 ballistic coefficient.
This round’s 2,960 fps muzzle velocity was recorded using a 24” barrel. A 1:8” twist barrel is optimal for a 68 grain bullet like this, but you’ll certainly get by with a 1:9” or 1:7” twist as well. Although a hollow point by design, the BTHP Match is not engineered to deliver terminal expansion.
This Frontier label ammo is loaded with military-grade brass cases, Boxer primers and clean-burning powder. The cases are brand new, visibly annealed and perfect for handloading! -

Federal American Eagle 223 Rem 75 Grain TMJ – 20 Rounds
$12.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Federal Condition New Bullet Weight 75 Grain Bullet Type Total Metal Jacket (TMJ) Use Type indoor range shooting, plinking at the range Casing Type Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 223 Remington Manufacturer SKU AE223T75 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 604544625615 Cost Per Round 64.2¢ per round No matter how you like to shoot, this 223 Rem cartridge by Federal is going to make you a happy shooter indeed! Its bullet is a TMJ -- no, not the painful jaw disorder, but a total metal jacket! Such a jacket prevents ignition from evaporating the bullet’s core, so if you’re taking your AR-15 indoors this round’s a good investment in your lungs’ health. The bullet is also heavy for its caliber, which means if you shoot long distance you’ll enjoy shots that better resist wind drift as well. Good for a rainy day, and good for a nice day too!
Federal Eagle ammo is massively popular among enthusiasts who like to get as much value for their hard earned money as they’re able to. Federal knows brass inside and out, so they’ve precision formed these rounds’ casings to be uniform, sturdy, and perfectly reloadable. These rounds’ consistent primers are both sensitive and non-corrosive, which will make shooting satisfying without taking a big toll on your rifle’s integrity. -
Armscor USA 223 Rem 55 Grain PSP – 20 Rounds
$12.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Armscor Condition New Bullet Weight 55 Grain Bullet Type Pointed Soft-Point (PSP) Use Type home defense, plinking at the range, varmint hunting Casing Type Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 223 Remington Manufacturer SKU AC223-2N Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 812285021898 Cost Per Round 64.2¢ per round There’s a natural order to things. You need 223 Rem ammo. Widener’s sends you 223 Rem ammo. Don’t disrupt the laws of reality. Order as many boxes of Armscor USA as you like!
Armscor hasn’t done anything strange or unlikeable with this ammo. It just works. This round’s 55 grain bullet hits 3,100 fps muzzle velocity (out of a test barrel of unspecified length) and proceeds to use its low-drag spitzer profile to promote a flat trajectory and high downrange energy retention. The bullet contains zero steel, so you can use it to tap targets at any indoor range on the map.
The bullet will exhibit its greatest value if you use it for hunting smaller game or home defense. As a pointed soft point, it’s armed with the unjacketed lead tip which produces rapid expansion (and probably a little shrapnel as well). It’s the most affordable style of hunting bullet, and an exceedingly effective one at that!
New brass! Noncorrosive primers! The option to handload! It’s all in a day’s work for this American-made SAAMI spec 223 Rem ammunition. -
Winchester Universal Game & Target 223 Rem 55 Grain BTHP – 20 Rounds
$12.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Winchester Condition New Bullet Weight 55 Grain Bullet Type Hollow-Point Boat Tail (HP-BT) Use Type plinking at the range, varmint hunting Casing Type Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 223 Remington Manufacturer SKU U223HP55 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 020892233171 Cost Per Round 64.2¢ per round On some days, you shoot targets. On others, varmints. Despite this, you use only one kind of 223 Rem ammunition. How is this possible? Because you’re tuned in to Winchester Universal Game & Target!
This is Winchester’s usual white box ammo, loaded with the same noncorrosive primers, low-residue powder, and virgin brass (which you can reload with the right bullets) that marksmen trust across the country. But its bullets are no mere full metal jackets. They are boat tail hollow points!
Don’t get any wrong ideas about these rounds’ 55 grain nonmagnetic projectiles. They’re not built for terminal expansion – but thanks to their velocity-conserving tapered bases, well-balanced lead cores, and low-drag frontal profiles, they excel at holding flat trajectories and reaching their destinations with ample striking power. The thin-jacketed non-mushrooming BTHP is less than ideal for deer or other medium game, but it’s more than enough for a smaller, less rugged forest scamp! -

Fiocchi 223 Rem 62 Grain FMJBT – 50 Rounds
$32.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Fiocchi Condition New Bullet Weight 62 Grain Bullet Type Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail (FMJ-BT) Use Type plinking at the range Casing Type Brass Quantity 50 Ammo Caliber 223 Remington Manufacturer SKU 223C Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 762344706580 Cost Per Round 65.7¢ per round Do you frequent a rifle range that forbids magnetic ammunition on its premises, but still want to fire 5.56x45 M855 ammunition? Lo and behold – the perfect substitute, courtesy of Fiocchi! This Missouri-made 223 Rem range ammunition is loaded with 62 grain bullets and delivers a muzzle velocity of 3,000 fps. Those stats make this nonmagnetic ammo’s ballistic performance almost indistinguishable from that of our military’s penetrator load!
This round’s bullet is more than just nonmagnetic. As a full metal jacket boat tail it features a slightly tapered base which minimizes drag to help conserve downrange momentum, an evenly distributed jacket and core which assure satisfactory in-flight stability, and a ballistically efficient solid point profile. Don’t expect terminal expansion from an FMJBT – but don’t expect a varmint to survive an encounter with one, either.
Fiocchi fits each one of these rounds with a virgin brass case, noncorrosive Boxer primer and charge of low-residue propellant. A swell choice for any 5.56/223 rifle, semi-automatic or otherwise!Customer Reviews

Winchester Universal Game & Target 223 Rem 62 Grain Open Tip – 20 Rounds
$13.25Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Winchester Condition New Bullet Weight 62 Grain Bullet Type Open Tip Use Type plinking at the range, varmint hunting Casing Type Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 223 Remington Manufacturer SKU U223HP62 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 020892233195 Cost Per Round 66.2¢ per round Look! On Wideners.com! It’s great 223 Rem ammo for target shooting! No, wait – it’s actually great 223 Rem ammo for varmint hunting! NO! It turns out it is both! It’s Winchester Universal Game & Target!!!
This cartridge’s open tip bullet is designed to do one thing: follow the most predicable trajectory from muzzle to target as possible. That’s why it has a nose cavity, which allowed Winchester to insert a balanced, form-fitted core within its jacket. That plus the open tip’s jacketed base (which prevents deformation of the core during ignition) and 62 grain weight (which grants more mass and resultant momentum) spell real accurate performance no matter your pursuit.
The open tip will probably break apart if it hits flesh at high velocity, but its bag of tricks does not include terminal expansion. That’s why it’s good for small game but not whitetail or African elephant.
Winchester’s fine ammo cannot attract a magnet or cause corrosion. It is also loaded with quality propellant that doesn’t needlessly gunk up a semi-auto. It is also loaded with strong brass which will definitely make you happy if you must compulsively handload every case you get your hands on. -
PMC 223 Rem 55 Grain PSP – 200 Rounds
$134.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer PMC Condition New Bullet Weight 55 Grain Bullet Type Pointed Soft-Point (PSP) Use Type hunting boar, hunting whitetail deer Casing Type Brass Quantity 200 Ammo Caliber 223 Remington Manufacturer SKU 223SP Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 50741569040162 Cost Per Round 67.4¢ per round Regular old ball ammo is all well and good for the rifle range. But when your aim is to cut down a buck or a hog with your trusty 223 Rem rifle, an FMJ just ain’t gonna cut it. You need ammo with bullets that can deliver terminal expansion – nothing less than PMC Bronze, in fact!
This ammo hails from the nation of South Korea, and it’s loaded with a medium game hunter’s best friend: the pointed soft point bullet. Each 55 grain PSP attains a consistent muzzle velocity of ~3,200 fps upon clearing a 24” barrel, which is why its ballistic performance is not at all unlike that of a conventional FMJ. But thanks to its lead tip, the PSP is able to follow up impact with fast positive expansion. Shot placement always counts, but you can rest assured the PSP’s terminal ballistics will get the job done right.
PMC loads ammo with the same kinds of components you’d expect from any American manufacturer. That includes steel-free nonmagnetic projectiles, virgin reloadable brass cases, and Boxer primers that cannot produce corrosive residue. Order your case of 10 boxes today and have at it! -
Hornady Frontier 5.56x45 68 Grain BTHP Match – 500 Rounds

That means you get to benefit from the work of one of the finest military-grade ammunition producers in the whole world! This round’s brass casing is top notch stuff, the kind you can depend on to cycle efficiently and be of great value time and time again at your reloading bench. Lake City’s state of the industry loading process yielded an intensely reliable primer and propellant charge for this round as well, and their intensive quality assurance protocol ensured that everything came together perfectly for your hungry rifle.
Hornady would never let anyone else make one of their bullets, though -- that’s their forte. As such this round’s 68 grain projectile features its maker’s signature AMP jacket, which has virtually zero variation in its concentricity, as well as a swaged lead core, ballistically efficient boat tail, and perfectly centered hollow point meplat. This is a bullet that begs to be used in a competition, although for the round’s price tag you won’t mind doing whatever you like with it!
