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.

    There are two major kinds of magnetic bullets in this big, beautiful world of ammunition. The first are bullets with bimetal jackets. These are usually Russian in origin, and are manufactured for greater affordability. The second is the M855 bullet, which is not made to be cheap – it is built to penetrate.

    This 5.56x45 round’s 62 grain bullet has a normal lead core and gilding metal jacket, but the green on its tip proves it is also packing seven grans of steel. The addition of steel makes the bullet a whole heck of a lot stronger, enabling it to punch through thin metal plating at close to medium range like it is made out of fondant icing.

    Although a great option for recreational shooting with an AR-15, penetrator ammo also performs well for personal protection. That’s why sitting on these 150 rounds of 5.56 ammo by Winchester until a big emergency is a good idea.

    This ammo is brass-cased, reloadable, Boxer-primed, magnetic, and non-corrosive.

    They arrived as advertised. That's saying something. Most others lead you to check out then tell you "unavailable".

    Hornady teamed up with the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant to create this 5.56x45 Frontier cartridge. 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!

    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.

    Twenty rounds. One magazine. This single box of 5.56x45 ammunition by Winchester is all you need to demonstrate your mastery of your AR-15 rifle – or save the day.

    Winchester didn’t make this ammo for the military, but they did make it to the military’s M193 specifications. That means it has the 5.56’s traditional 55 grain FMJ bullet, which has a solid lead core and hard copper alloy jacket. This type of bullet is most popular for target shooting, although it’s not at all unsuitable for self-defense (it’s just not as effective as an expanding bullet like a soft point or polymer tip). This smooth-feeding bullet also features a cannelure, which keeps it right where it’s meant to be seated in its case.

    That case is made of solid brass and has never before seen the light of day. You can see where its neck and shoulder were annealed, which is a heat-treatment process that makes brass more elastic. That’s why this ammo’s cases expand so reliably to seal the chamber during ignition, and also why they make great reloading components. This ammo is both nonmagnetic and non-corrosive for versatile and clean performance.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Remington UMC ammo is a popular choice for range use due to its low cost and reliable performance. Grab a few of these 20-round boxes of .223 Remington ammo for your AR-15 or other .223/5.56 NATO rifle.

    Each round in this box of 20 propels a 55 grain full metal jacket (also known as metal case) bullet to a muzzle velocity of 3,240 feet per second. This ammo is virtually identical to mil-spec M193 ball in external ballistics--a plus if you shoot with optics.

    UMC (Union Metallic Cartridge) ammo is loaded in Lonoke, Arkansas using non-corrosive Boxer primers and reloadable brass cases.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Winchester’s white box ammunition stands for consistent quality, reliable functionality, and American production values. So long as you have at least one rifle chambered for 5.56x45 or 223 Rem, you have every reason you need to order this bread and butter 223 Rem ammo.

    Winchester loads this round with a 55 grain full metal jacket projectile. It’s as elemental as AR-15 bullets come thanks to its solid lead core, gilding metal jacket, and absence of steel or any other metals which would have attracted a magnet. The bullet’s 0.274 G1 BC enables it to retain half of its original velocity at 530 yards, so you can look forward to a flat trajectory no matter your target’s range. The bullet’s cannelure ensures it stays seated at the right depth so you can avoid a failure to feed.

    Winchester’s nonmagnetic ammunition is also non-corrosive and clean-burning. Its brass cases are furthermore brand new. These particular rounds’ new production cases have been fortified via heat treatment, but the annealing marks weren’t subsequently buffed out at the factory.

    Hornady’s Frontier line of ammunition is all about versatility. They boast, rightly, that a Frontier round is the one to reach for whether you would spend your afternoon plinking, target shooting, and training for law enforcement. It’s also in no way inadequate (and in fact excellent for) hunting and self-defense as well. Combined with its reasonable price, this one-size-fits-all brand is great for shooters who appreciate the opportunity to familiarize themselves with one cartridge’s performance as intimately as they can.

    This 5.56x45mm cartridge features a 75 grain projectile. Its boat tail design greatly increases its ballistic coefficient to raise its accuracy, flatten its trajectory, and improve its performance in windy environments. Because the bullet is also a hollow point, it will expand to create a deep and wide wound channel in soft targets.

    Frontier ammunition further offers reloadable brass casings and military grade Boxer primers and propellant. Hornady’s meticulous manufacturing process sees to it that each and every Frontier round is loaded to consistent specifications, and their quality assurance protocol ensures that they’re all flawless before exiting their factory’s doors.

    Hot and accurate with minor quality issues...

    Tried this out in my 26", 8 twist, 223 Wylde bolt gun and was surprised to get .55-.65" groups. Even more amazed the velocity was 2916 fps with a 34 ES. This has to be at the hot end of the load data so be sure you have a rifle that can take it. Much cheaper, faster, and just as accurate as Magtech 77gr. Only negative was several rounds had some good dents in the shoulder area, so watch out for quality issues.

    Do you want to give your AR-15 the match grade accuracy it needs to drive nails through a wooden board? Then Hornady’s Frontier line of ammunition has got you soundly covered. This 5.56x45 cartridge features a 55 grain HP Match projectile, the jacket of which is concentric enough to grant it the rotational stability needed to always find its mark downrange. This bullet’s meplat is designed to lessen how greatly wind can deflect it in flight, and its beyond supersonic 3,240 fps muzzle velocity gives it the vigor needed to carry its flat trajectory over long distances.

    A Frontier round is produced at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant, and therefore offers a military grade brass casing and Boxer primer. Hornady’s thorough inspection program has assured that each round in this box possesses identical dimensions to one another, and that their propellant loads will produce a remarkably consistent chamber pressure.

    This Frontier label 223 Rem ammunition by Hornady is great for all the long-distance shooters out there. It showcases the Nebraskan master’s HP Match, which is basically 55 grains of nothing but accuracy-enhancing features.

    The HP Match’s swaged lead core is highly uniform, and doesn’t possess air pockets that could impact its balance. Its AMP jacket is drawn with virtually zero runout or variations in its wall thickness. The HP Match is also extremely sleek, from its narrow meplat to its secant ogive geometry to its sloping boat tail.

    This round’s HP Match bursts out of a 24” barrel at a velocity of 3,240 fps. So well-balanced and streamlined a bullet exhibits a G1 BC of 0.254, and can be counted on to remain supersonic beyond 700 yards. Whether you’re shooting targets or varmints, so flat a trajectory is certain to come in very handy.

    The Lake City Army Ammunition Plant loads this AR-15 ammo. Widener’s customers who can’t get enough brass are sure to find a good use for this ammo’s new production cases, which are visibly annealed and long-lasting. Lake City’s military-grade primers, propellant and loading practices deliver reliable performance however you shoot!

    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).

    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.

    If you've got pesky varmints on your property, consider using this .223 Remington ammunition from Fiocchi with your AR-15 or other .223/5.56 NATO rifle to solve the problem. These cartridges come packaged in a convenient reusable black Plano ammo ammo can with a sturdy latch and carrying handle.

    Each cartridge in this case of 200 fires a 40 grain polymer tipped Hornady V-MAX jacketed hollow point bullet at a muzzle velocity of 3,650 feet per second. This high velocity helps promote rapid fragmentation for efficient kills against small animals; the fast disintegration of the projectile also reduces the risk of overpenetration and ricochets.

    Based in Ozark, Missouri, Fiocchi of America is the US division of Fiocchi Munizioni SPA, which was founded in Italy in 1876. Although relatively new to the US market, Fiocchi ammo has gained increasing popularity in recent years due to its reasonable price and consistent quality. Fiocchi ammo uses non corrosive Boxer primers and reloadable brass cases.

    This 5.56x45 cartridge represents an exciting partnership between Hornady, one of our country’s preeminent bullet manufacturers, and the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant, the U.S. Armed Forces’ largest producer of small arms ammo. Hornady crafted this M193 round its 55 grain projectile, and thus its uniform lead core is clad in a highly consistent full metal jacket. Its bullet’s symmetrical meplat and exceptional concentricity give this range load all the accuracy you need to enjoy rewarding practice with your rifle.

    These rounds’ other components are all Lake City’s considerable doing. Their thoroughly standardized casings ensure seamless feeding and ejection as well as interchangeable performance, and their Boxer primers deliver reliable ignition and are non-corrosive. Lake City’s optimized production process and staggering output capacity have made these rounds very affordable given just how well made they are, and that Hornady subjected these rounds to their own unequaled quality assurance protocol means few others stand to be compared to them.

    These .223 Remington rounds from Federal's American Eagle line represent some of the highest quality available before stepping into the premium price pool. Each cartridge is assembled using a reloadable brass casing fitted with a non-corrosive Boxer primer and complimented by primer pocket sealant which guards against moisture.

    The rounds are topped by 62 grain full metal jacket projectiles with boat tails (FMJ-BT) which reduce in-flight drag for increased range and precision. 62 grains is a common weight for the caliber, especially in its 5.56mm NATO configuration, and is amply supported by endless amounts of ballistic software, sight sets, and proven zeroing methods. In addition, each casing is crimped to each bullets' toothed cannelure in order to prevent projectile setback which can spoil accuracy at best and induce a misfire or malfunction at worst.

    Whether your target of choice is coyote, boar, or paper targets, this .223 Remington ammunition from PMC will get the job done. These cartridges are ideal for AR-15s and other .223/5.56 NATO rifles.

    Each round in this box of 20 fires a 55 grain soft point bullet at a muzzle velocity of 3,200 feet per second; this results in external ballistics comparable to those of M193 ball ammo. Once the projectile strikes the animal, however, the soft point rapidly expands into a "mushroom" with deadly effect.

    The American Frontier no longer exists, but Hornady Frontier is alive and well. We’ve got a bunch of it in our warehouse, as a matter of fact, and it’s ready for action whether you’ve got long-distance shooting, varmint detail or home defense in your plans!

    This 5.56x45 cartridge is designed to turn any AR-15 into a capable sniper rifle. It’s furnished with a heavyweight 68 grain bullet. It’ll stabilize best out of a rifle with a 1:8 barrel twist, but a little faster or slower twist will be okay as well. As a boat tail hollow point this bullet features a ballistically efficient profile and balanced, uniformly distributed lead core. It won’t expand inside of its target, but it’s certain to get there courtesy of its match grade accuracy.

    Frontier ammo is non-corrosive, nonmagnetic, and made in America. This ammo’s military-grade brass cases are consistently drawn and chambered to help them reliably weave in and out of a chamber, and you can rest assured they’re good for handloading.

    This 223 Rem cartridge is an exceptional choice for the AR-15 you keep for hunting or home defense. Its relatively heavy 75 grain projectile not only better resists the influence of wind drift, but possesses greater mass to assist with deep penetration. The bullet’s jacket is electrochemically formed and fused to its core, so it is not only remarkably balanced to ensure better accuracy, but nearly incapable of peeling away during penetration so that the bullet can retain the weight needed to burrow deeply into its target.

    This round’s is a soft point bullet. Its nose profile is conducive to smooth feeding in a semi-automatic weapon, yet its exposed core unleashes dramatic expansion accompanied by tumbling to create a broad wound channel in addition to a deep one. This round also includes a nickel plated brass casing, at once able to facilitate feeding in a semi-automatic while fighting against gradual corrosion. Varmints hate these rounds, as do home intruders -- but our customers love them!

    The 223 Rem was developed by Remington back in 1964 and after the bugs were worked out of the M-16 and its sister rifles, the 223 Rem quickly became one of America's and the Western World's favorite cartridges. Lightweight, inexpensive, and highly accurate, this low recoil round is phenomenal for range training, plinking, match shooting, and hunting applications.

    Federal has been around since 1922, crafting some of America's best ammunition for nearly one hundred years. Whether you want quality inexpensive ammo for volume shooting or something incredibly effective and top of the line, Federal has exactly what you need. These Federal LE Tactical TRU rounds are designed for self defense applications. Each projectile is a 64 grain soft point that delivers controlled expansion and great barrier penetration. These bullets are loaded into factory fresh brass cases that come boxer primed and are reloadable. All Federal ammunition is loaded in the USA.

    Your right to bear arms ain’t worth jack squat unless you have high-quality ammunition. If you fully intend to reach for your AR-style rifle during a home invasion, then you deserve to fire the same 223 Rem the pros would use. That’s Speer Gold Dot Duty Rifle!

    This cartridge’s 55 grain soft point bullet is designed to do three things. The first is to fly accurately toward its target, which it accomplishes thanks to its ultra-concentric jacket and streamlined frontal profile. The second is to reliably penetrate its target, which it manages to do without issue courtesy of its tough, electrochemically bonded jacket. The third is to deliver wide expansion – again, no challenge, as the Gold Dot soft point delivers expansion even if it exits a 10” barrel and doesn’t meet its target until it has flown up to 200 yards.

    This round’s supporting components are all up to the task of saving your hide as well. Speer’s propellant is formulated to minimize muzzle flash, which helps you maintain visual on the target while you’re firing at night. It’s a welcome advantage if you’re firing an SBR. Speer’s cases are also nickel-plated, which reduces friction that could have led to the world’s most poorly timed feeding or extraction failure.

    The American frontier is gone, but Hornady Frontier keeps going strong! This is the 223 Rem ammo you want to chamber when accuracy is key – grouping tight shots through paper, or landing a single bullet clean between a gopher’s peepers.

    Hornady utilizes the industry’s most advanced loading equipment and protocol when they piece together a Frontier load. This American-made ammo’s brass cases are military-grade, and you can see by their annealing that they’re poised to reload several times. This ammo’s primers are also military-grade, which promotes consistent ballistics along with its uniform propellant charges and bullet weights.

    Each bullet is Hornady’s accurate BTHP Match. It features its manufacturer’s Advanced Manufacturing Process jacket and a form-fitted swaged lead core, both of which enhance in-flight stability to ensure the meplat is always pointed at its target. The BTHP Match’s secant ogive profile, boat tail and narrow hollow point meplat all decrease in-flight drag to flatten trajectory. Zero in at 200 yards and you can expect only 7.5” of bullet drop at 300!

    The BTHP Match’s hollow point doesn’t affect terminal ballistics by creating expansion. The impact of a 68 grain bullet alone ought to take care of most varmint hunting and self-defense applications, though.

    Good Quality and Great Service

    After spending a couple of hours looking for a decent price on 68 grain .223 BTHP ammo that was in stock, I finally found Widener's site, and they actually had it in stock. This ammo is pricy everywhere, but Widener's had it available for about a nickel per round below the next best price. I immediately placed an order, and the shipment showed up two days before I expected it. I will definitely look forward to looking to Widener's when I've saved up enough money for another purchase.

    Are you out of 223 Rem ammo? We hate to hear it. But we also love to hear it, because that means you have a perfect opportunity to give Hornady BLACK a college try. Designed in Nebraska to work without fail in all makes, models and styles of 223/5.56 firearms, these range loads are sure to treat you to loads of fun!

    This cartridge’s bullet weighs 62 grains, but make no mistake: neither its lead core nor its copper-alloy jacket contain one iota of steel. The nonmagnetic bullet does achieve a muzzle velocity of 3,100 fps, however, which makes its ballistic performance not totally unlike that of the U.S. Army’s 5.56 M855 round. If you fire the FMJ out of the 24” barrel it needs to reach its posted muzzle velocity, then its 0.274 G1 BC will enable it to fly to 200 yards without going higher than 2.3” above the bore line (and that’s not taking sight height into account). The slightly heavier bullet will give you a welcome advantage if you have to deal with wind deflection!

    Each BLACK round comes to the party with a virgin polished brass case – just swell if you love handloading every empty shell you come across – as well as a clean-sparking primer/propellant combo. Ten boxes per case. Order today! Time and tide wait for no man.

    This 5.56x45 cartridge is from Hornady’s Frontier line of ammunition, and was manufactured at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant to provide cost-effective but still admirable performance out of any rifle you could chamber it in. Its 75 grain projectile provides match grade accuracy thanks in large part to its boat tail design, which reduces the amount of turbulence it leaves in its wake during flight to flatten its trajectory and permit it to retain a greater part of its velocity after having traveled great distances. This bullet further sports a narrow hollow point meplat to improve its resistance to wind deflection.

    Given its place of manufacture, this round features military grade components to complement its bullet’s high level performance. Its factory fresh brass casing is very durable with an annealed neck and shoulder, and able to withstand being reloaded multiple times. Its Boxer primer is extremely sensitive and non-corrosive, and its powder burns without producing harmful residues as well.

    “Ten bullets through one hole.” Joyce Hornady's famous five words are inspirational, and they remain the basis for everything his company does over seven decades after he founded it.

    This is Hornady’s American Gunner ammunition. Made in Nebraska. Premium reloadable brass cases. Super trustworthy primers. Propellant that won’t have you spending ages cleaning your rifle after target practice is over. Reliable functionality in all makes and models of firearms. These are all the patents of quality you should expect from any of Hornady’s fine ammo.

    But the hollow point bullet is something extra special. That 55 grain projectile features a jacket with nigh perfect concentricity, which alongside its form-fitted rearward situated lead core ensures exemplary rotational stability and accuracy. So long as you don’t expect terminal expansion from the HP, it’s due to exceed your expectations.

    Hornady recorded this round’s 3,240 fps muzzle velocity and its flat base bullet’s 0.254 G1 ballistic coefficient with a 24” test barrel. That translates to a trajectory which elevates 2.17” above the bore line while you’re aiming to 200 yards.

    Are you fresh out of 223 Rem range ammo? We hate to hear it, and wish there were something we could do for you. Oh wait! There is something we can do for you! We can ship you as many 20-round boxes of Hornady BLACK 223 Rem ammo as you want!

    This round’s 62 grain bullet is a perfectly normal full metal jacket. It weighs the same as a 5.56 M855 bullet, and delivers very similar ballistic performance to one as well. But because it lacks any steel in its core or in its jacket, this round’s bullet will not attract a magnet.

    Hornady recorded this round’s 3,100 fps muzzle velocity and resultant 0.274 G1 ballistic coefficient with the aid of a 24” test barrel. If your sights are 1.5” high, you can zero in at 200 yards and expect drop in the ballpark of -7.5” at 300 yards.

    Virgin brass cases – reloadable. Snappy Boxer primers – noncorrosive. Reliable operation in any sort of rifle regardless of its firing mechanism, barrel length, and whether or not it has a suppressor. You always get great value out of Hornady!

    Hornady is one of America’s leading bullet manufacturers, and they load ammunition with the same love and care that they spend on each and every projectile. Their BLACK series 5.56x45 ammunition makes the perfect companion during any range day, as it’s loaded with the high-quality components and tight specs any rifle needs in order to do its best work.

    Hornady loads this ammo so you can have the same recoil and trajectory that the U.S. Army’s M855 cartridge would have provided – without the magnetic bullet. Cut Hornady’s 62 grain FMJ in half and you’ll find a lead core, copper alloy, and no steel penetrator insert. The non-expanding FMJ’s mid-jacket cannelure effectively prevents setback in the magazine that could have interrupted feeding or thrown off seating depth.

    BLACK ammo is loaded with reloadable brass cases. Its non-corrosive Boxer primers are sealed for added longevity in storage, and its propellant is consistently loaded to deliver a 3,060 fps muzzle velocity (20” test barrel), just like the M855.

    There are three kinds of people in this country. The first don’t buy ammo. We won’t give them a name. The second do buy ammo. We call them “Americans.” The third buy ammo from Widener’s. We call them “True Americans.”

    Which one are you?

    If you’re a True American, then you’ll love Hornady’s American Gunner 223 Rem ammunition. It’s reliable as all get out in all sorts of firearms. It’s accurate to boot, because it’s loaded with Hornady’s premium 55 grain hollow point projectiles!

    Now, don’t fire this ammo’s HP bullets expecting them to expand after striking a threat or a game animal. They only have nose cavities because their cores were created when Hornady injected liquid lead into their jackets. That process creates uniform and balanced cores, which is why this ammo’s bullets remain so stable in flight.

    Hornady recorded this round’s 3,240 fps muzzle velocity and 0.254 G1 ballistic coefficient with a 24” barrel. By their measure, the bullet will clear a 200-yard zero at a velocity of 2,403 fps, and then proceed to drop to -7.6” at 300.

    Each American Gunner cartridge features a brand new brass case. A perfect pick for any kind of handloading project you’re cooking up!

    If you are looking for reliable and effective ammunition for your training and target-shooting needs, this 20-count box will deliver the performance you expect. Loaded with 62-grain full metal jacket bullets, these rounds give you better cycling from the magazine to the chamber and leave less fouling in the barrel. For a full day of target shooting, a few boxes of these targets will do the trick.

    The full metal jacket bullet is one of the most popular projectiles for high-volume target practice. Because the bullet is wrapped in metal, the lead core does not leave a fouling residue in the barrel. Through hundreds of shots, you’ll have much better accuracy, helping you compete or train at the highest level.

    Hornady is a cartridge company that has been serving American gun owners since 1949. Based out of Nebraska, this company originally made bullets but now has a wide variety of complete cartridges for rifles, handguns, and shotguns.

    You may find that your AR-15 is a very handy thing to have around the house one day -- but only if it’s loaded with something capable of making bad guys go away. For that you need this 223 Rem cartridge by Speer. Its 75 grain bullet is accurate not only because of its considerable heft, but also its jacket. The Gold Dot bullet’s jacket is formed around its alloyed lead core electrochemically, so it boasts exact tolerances for great accuracy. Because the Gold Dot jacket is so closely wound to its core, this bullet is capable of retaining very nearly all of its weight as it expands widely during penetration.

    This round’s bullet is optimized for smooth feeding in a magazine-fed weapon. Its new brass casing is additionally nickel plated for less friction during feeding and extraction, as well as greater resistance to corrosion that may have compromised sensitive components. All in all, a versatile cartridge for home defense.

    Did you truly think that you can fire just any ammunition out of your SBR? Well, that’s fair seeing as how you actually can, but you’re depriving yourself of accuracy and satisfaction by forgoing special SBR-centric ammo such as Fiocchi Hyperformance SBR Enhanced 223 Remington!

    This ammo’s not just loaded with special flash-suppressed, low-fouling and recoil-mitigating propellant. It’s also armed with a heavy and accurate 77 grain Sierra MatchKing. Does it pick up oodles of accuracy-enhancing stability as it screams through a barrel as short as 7.5”? Does it follow such a predictable trajectory toward its target that it’s almost boring to watch? Yes and yes!

    Fiocchi places this MO-made round’s muzzle velocity at 2,750 fps out of a 20” test barrel, which couldn’t be more normal for a 77 grain load. They also cite the following muzzle velocities for shorter barrels:
    4.5": 1,521 fps
    7": 1,866 fps
    10.5": 2,227 fps
    16": 2,469 fps
