223 (5.56) Ammo

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 the 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 a 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).

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.

High volume AR-15 shooters should check out this 500-round case of affordable, dependable range ammunition from Wolf's Polyformance series. As the name suggests, Polyformance cartridges feature inexpensive but smooth-cycling steel cases that deliver highly cost-effective performance.

Each round in this case fires a heavy 62 grain full metal jacket bullet at 3,025 feet per second. This results in ballistics comparable to M855 ball.

These cartridges are loaded in Russia using non-reloadable steel cases and non-corrosive Berdan primers.

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

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.

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!

Do you know why we refuse to use AI to write product descriptions? Because robots might know every fact there is to about ammunition, but they can’t genuinely appreciate it.

I can, however, because I am a large, stupid man who enjoys emptying PMAGs into milk jugs that I just filled with hose water. And you know what? I’m willing to bet you’ll fully appreciate CBC Global Ammunition’s military-spec 5.56x45 ammunition, too.

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. Thank you for supporting a human-owned business!

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.

Magtech loads this 5.56x45 ammunition for AR enthusiasts of all shapes and sizes – anyone who’d like to do a number on range targets! But if you want to fire 5.56 M855 at a range that has banned magnetic projectiles, then you’re really going to like what this Brazilian-made ammo has to offer!

This cartridge is loaded with a 62 grain full metal jacket. Aside from its lack of green paint, the only difference between the FMJ and an M855 projectile is its solid lead core. Alongside its gilding metal jacket, that makes the FMJ 100% nonmagnetic. The flat base bullet’s 3,085 fps muzzle velocity out of a 20” barrel gives it a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.340. Aim to 100 yards and the bullet should rise just 0.5” above the bore line; 200 yards, 2.25”.

This is newly manufactured ammo, not dusty old military surplus. Its Boxer primers are noncorrosive and don’t require special cleaning. Its brass cases are fresh out of the factory and ideal for handloading. Its propellant burns up fast to minimize barrel fouling. Twenty boxes per case, shipped so fast that you’ll be in awe!

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.

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.

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.

Winchester has been making ammunition for over 150 years now. They can’t claim to have made 5.56x45 ammo for quite that long (for reasons we hope we don’t have to explain), but they’ve certainly mastered all the ins and outs of America’s favorite centerfire cartridge!

This is Winchester’s most fundamental kind of 5.56, and therefore absolutely perfect for casual and serious target shooting alike. The M193 spec cartridge sports a 55 grain projectile, which is light enough to achieve a muzzle velocity that is just shy of three times faster than the speed of sound. The full metal jacket projectile’s economical design makes it optimal for high-volume shooting, yet it still provides the consistent accuracy discerning marksmen demand. The non-expanding solid point FMJ is made of lead and copper, thus making this ammo absolutely nonmagnetic.

This ammo’s military-grade brass cases are reloadable, and they have never before seen the light of day. They’re not grayish around their necks because they have previously been fired, but rather because they weren’t polished after they were made more durable via annealing. Noncorrosive Boxer-primed, clean-shooting, and packaged 50 boxes per case of 1,000!

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!

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!

Captain Kirk said space is the final frontier. 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.

Has your AR-15’s barrel been cold for way, way too long? We hate to hear it! That’s why we’ve got just the thing in store to warm it up: 800 rounds of Winchester’s American-made 5.56x45, packaged in four easy to transport boxes. If you bring all this goodness to the range, then you’d might as well pack a lunch while you’re at it!

This ammo’s all about target practice. Its 55 grain bullet and clean-burning powder grant it a muzzle velocity of 3,270 fps – extremely normal for the 5.56x45, and exactly the kind of performance semi-automatic rifles are designed to operate around. You can fall back on ammo like this for home defense should the need ever arise, and you don’t have to worry about its steel-free bullets if you patronize a range with a magnetic ammo ban in effect.

Winchester equips their standard target loads with non-corrosive Boxer primers and freshly drawn and cut brass cases. This is not factory remanufactured ammunition, nor is it military surplus. Any discoloration on its cases is the purely cosmetic result of annealing, a heat-treatment process which yields stronger, more reliable brass.

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.

Some folks say the 223 Rem is no good for deer hunting. Fortunately, you can’t hear them over the sound of your 223 Rem rifle while you’re hunting deer with it!

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.

Don’t pass on your chance to order this 1,000-round case of ammo today! And if you feel like handloading its BRAND NEW brass cases, then we’d be honored to supply the bullets you need for the job!

If you love your AR-15 – and want to spend a whole lot more quality time with it – then you don’t have to think twice about ordering a 500-round case of Hornady Frontier 5.56x45 M193 ammunition. This all-purpose target ammo represents the collective efforts of Nebraska’s greatest bullet manufacturer and the federal government’s biggest ammunition factory!

This round’s bullet is a 55 grain full metal jacket of Hornady’s own creation. The nonmagnetic bullet’s weight, style and 3,240 fps muzzle velocity are all the cartridge needs in order to qualify as M193 – the very same specification showcased at military rifle ranges across the country.

Every component except for this ammo’s bullets are the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant’s doing. That means military-grade Boxer primers and propellant, as well as factory-fresh brass that you’ll definitely want to handload (using .224 cal bullets you purchased at Widener’s).

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!

Is your AR-15 ready for the range? How about a real emergency – the kind that only canned goods, candles, and brass-cased ammo can carry you through? So long as your firearm is chambered for 5.56x45 and you like thinking ahead, this case of ammo by Winchester is a much-needed addition to your stockpile.

This is just about the most elemental ammo you could have on hand. Each cartridge is faithfully loaded according to M193 specifications, with a full metal jacket bullet to prevent feeding issues and accelerated barrel leading. You won’t get expansion out of an FMJ, but you’ll still get the kind of terminal ballistics that prove so effective for home defense. At 55 grains this round’s bullet reliably achieves a muzzle velocity in the range of 3,180 fps. That’ll treat you to the satisfyingly flat trajectory you need to thread distant targets.

Winchester’s USA ammo features newly forged brass cases, sensitive and non-corrosive Boxer primers for reloadability, and of course clean-burning powder. Don’t look for any steel in this nonmagnetic ammo – you won’t find it!

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.

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.

All hail the white box! Winchester’s American-made USA 223 Rem ammunition is ready for action in any firearm that can handle it – which quite naturally includes any 5.56x45 carbine you might be itching to take out to the range.

This cartridge is loaded with a 62 grain full metal jacket bullet. It is not an M855 projectile, and therefore can’t attract a magnet. Very useful if you want the full M855 experience at a range where the staff will bonk you over the head for firing magnetic ammo! The heavier bullet’s lower 3,100 fps muzzle velocity is well worth the price of a trajectory that exhibits better resistance to interference from crosswinds.

This ammo’s nicely polished Boxer-primed brass cases should serve you quite well if you’re intent on handloading every cartridge that enters your possession. Check out our awesome selection of .224” bullets if you’re fixing on reloading this ammo!

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 5.56x45 ammo by Winchester is magnetic. That’s not because Winchester sought to cut down on production costs by implementing bimetal jackets, but rather because they manufactured these rounds according to M855 specifications!

Each cartridge sports a 62 grain penetrator bullet. Its tip is only green because it is painted, not made of polymer. That indicates the front end of its core is made of pure steel. Steel hardens the bullet’s tip substantially, giving the shooter a huge advantage when he wants to penetrate sheet metal.

Magnetic bullets are not permitted at some indoor ranges because the steel inside them could create sparks or damage range equipment. You’ll want to call ahead to check a range’s policy on magnetic ammo before you take M855 to their premises. Steel can also cause a ricochet, making this ammo a poor choice for tactical training with steel targets!

Our customers are often concerned about the appearance of this ammo’s cases. To be certain, this is not reloaded ammo – the manufacturer just skipped buffing out the grayness on the cases after heat-treating them.

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.

Sometimes you just don’t need ammunition with lots of fancy bells and whistles. This 223 Rem ammo by Browning is simple, budget-friendly and reliable enough to be of great use for any kind of training, target shooting or plinking applications.

This cartridge is corked with a 55 grain FMJ – the most basic kind of projectile it’s possible for the 223 Rem to have. The FMJ’s gilding metal jacket promotes smooth feeding and slow barrel fouling, and its shank is girdled by a toothed cannelure to ward off setback in the magazine. We recommend this bullet for target shooting, but it’s sure to give small critters a really tough time too. Most importantly, this round’s bullet is completely nonmagnetic, so you have free license to take this ammo to any range of your choosing.

Browning’s clean-burning powder and non-corrosive Boxer primers both do their parts to keep a rifle in better working order. Their brass cases are also freshly manufactured. Pay no mind to the cases’ discolored necks and shoulders – that’s just a harmless byproduct of the annealing process which strengthens brass.

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!

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.

Want to handload those cases? Check out our selection of .224” component bullets!

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.

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.

This 223 Rem cartridge from Remington’s UMC line of ammunition is a great way to keep your AR-15’s barrel hot all day long, but without breaking the bank. UMC only makes ammo according to Americans’ favorite specifications, so while their offerings may be limited they’re able to add a great amount of value to them. This round’s 55 grain projectile is technically the metal case variety, but that’s essentially a five dollar phrase for full metal jacket. It’ll keep your bore cleaner in order to maintain its accuracy, and feed without flaw in a semi-automatic as well.

This round further features a reloadable brass casing, sensitive Boxer primer, and propellant that burns clean to keep your rifle’s sensitive inner parts intact in the long run. You get these 300 cartridges all together in a big plastic bucket -- the Freedom Bucket, to be specific! Such a tub is great for sharing with friends, and makes a fine receptacle for spent casings and future loose ammunition purchases alike.

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!

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.

When you have no ammo, your rifle no go BANG. But when you have whole case of ammo, then your rifle go BANG very much. It’s a no-brainer! Whether you want to spend a lot of quality time with your rifle at the local gun store’s big range or your buddy’s backyard plinking gallery, Federal’s American Eagle 223 Rem ammo cannot be beat!

This round is all about serving up consistent target grade accuracy. At 55 grains, its bullet is light enough to deliver a fast 3,240 fps muzzle velocity. And because the bullet’s sharp nose profile and low-drag boat tail base are so ballistically efficient, the FMJBT is going to stay supersonic beyond 750 yards. Good luck hitting a target at that range!

Federal’s gilding metal jacket does not contain any steel. That and this bullet’s solid lead core won’t do anything funny to a magnet, so you have free license to fire this Minnesotan-made ammo at any range on your radar. This ammo also has uniform brass cases to promote reliable feeding and cleaner ignition. Can you reload it? You bet you can!

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.

Each round in this pack fires a 55 grain full metal jacket bullet at 3,240 feet per second from a 24-inch barrel.

M193 ammo is ideal for the rifle range. This round’s 55 grain FMJ projectile is nonmagnetic, non-expanding, and sleek and balanced enough to consistently achieve a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.271. The bullet’s jacket is outfitted with a cannelure, which helps to preserve accuracy as the bullet avoids shifting back in the case mouth under the force of recoil.

We cater to a lot of handloaders here, so we’re always happy to offer ammo with reloadable cases. This ammo’s brass cases haven’t been polished, so you can still see their annealing marks – proof they’re manufactured to hold up under pressure. This ammo has non-corrosive Boxer primers.

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.

Family bonding? It’s very important. Consider hosting a family board game night every week for this reason. If you really want to bond, try having Thanksgiving dinner once a month as well. It works!

Bullet bonding? It’s also very important. For proof, check out this 223 Rem ammunition by Armscor. Each round’s 62 grain (nonmagnetic) projectile features a bonded lead core and copper-alloy jacket.

If a bonded bullet has to punch through thick clothing, leather, hide, sheet metal, drywall, or some other barrier, then its fused-together jacket and core will keep it more intact. This helps the bullet hold on to the weight and momentum it needs to dig deeply.

The PSP’s talents aren’t limited to reliable penetration. It is also an expanding bullet, and capable of creating an extensive wound channel that deals even greater damage to the target. These American-made cartridges’ new brass cases create even better value, as they are reloadable (and we’ve got just the component bullets for the job).

Magtech puts some pretty impressive tech and loading techniques to work whenever they make a cartridge, and this 5.56x45 round is no exception. Were you to cut this round’s 62 grain projectile in half you’d see that there are no voids in its lead core which would have impacted its rotational stability, and that its jacket is perfectly concentric -- at least as far as the naked eye is concerned. What’s nice about this bullet is that it lets the shooter experience performance like an M855 penetrator would have provided, but without the inclusion of the steel core that would make it unsuitable for use at many ranges.

Thanks to this round’s non-corrosive small rifle primer, your rifle’s action won’t foul up with caustic salts that may have harmed it. It’s also shelf stable, so you can add this box of ammo to your stockpile without concern. Magtech makes their own brass casings, and they do it very well -- count on these rounds’ casings to feed and extract reliably in a semi-automatic, and save them for a reloading project once they’re emptied out.

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).

If you’ve got an AR-15, then you know how quickly the little thing can gobble up ammo. Keeping it in good supply of the stuff can be a challenge -- it’s not uncommon for an AR-15 owner to feel like a mother bird that has to perpetually stick worms down its fledgling’s gullet. When you need high quality rounds, you can always bank on Hornady. The old Nebraskan master has one of the tightest quality assurance protocols that we know about, and that really shows in their products’ consistently great performance.

This 223 Rem cartridge has a 55 grain projectile. The bullet’s jacket is drawn extremely concentrically, which along with its fast 3,240 fps muzzle velocity assures a flat and accurate trajectory. This bullet’s jacket further serves to promote certain feeding through a semi-automatic, and to prevent rapid fouling within the bore as well. This round’s military grade primer and propellant both burn clean to preserve a rifle’s action, and its brand new brass casing is ready for multiple trips across the reloading bench.

Soft point cartridges are an economical yet highly effective choice for bringing down various types of game. This .223 Remington ammo from PMC is no exception, excelling in the field against coyote, hogs, and other animals due to its excellent expansion potential.

Each round in this bulk-priced case of 800 fires a 55 grain projectile. If your optics are sighted in with M193 ball or another comparable range load, you'll be able to use this load to hunt with little to no adjustment!

PMC ammo is made in South Korea using non-corrosive Boxer primers and brass cases.

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.
