223 (5.56) Ammo

This .223 Remington ammunition from Winchester's Super-X series is a versatile load suitable for both varmint and small to midsize game hunting.

Each cartridge in this 200-round case fires a 64 grain soft point bullet at a muzzle velocity of 3,020 feet per second. The high velocity produces by the .223/5.56 NATO caliber results in excellent expansion and lethality against a variety of animals.

Winchester Super-X ammo is made in Oxford, Mississippi using non-corrosive Boxer primers and reloadable brass cases.

When you are looking for something highly reliable and proven, the 223 Remington is just the round for you. Developed in 1964 during the war in Vietnam, this round has become more and more popular through the decades and is used all over the Western World for civilian, military, and law enforcement purposes. Whether you are looking for something for hunting, varmint exterminating, plinking around, or shooting in your next competition, the 223 Remington is perfect for you.

Since 1866, Winchester has been providing America with some of the best ammunition in the world and still make some of the best and most reliable ammo in the world. These Winchester Super-X, 64 grain, power point, brass cased, boxer primed rounds fire at 3020 feet per second and have incredible expansion and massive expansion, helping you take out deer and even elk while saving your wallet, giving you the perfect round for all your hunting needs.

This 223 Rem cartridge from Hornady’s Critical Defense line of ammunition is optimized in every way to help you keep your home uninfluenced by burglars. The round’s 55 grain FTX projectile features the Flex Tip, which compresses into the bullet upon impact in order to initiate rapid expansion. The Flex Tip works reliably even at lower velocities, and optimizes performance in lever action rifles as well.

The FTX bullet also features an InterLock ring, which mechanically locks its high antimony lead core and specially engineered heavy jacket together to provide stellar weight retention during penetration. This bullet additionally offers a flat trajectory and great accuracy thanks to its secant ogive profile.

Thanks to this round’s casing’s nickel plating, it’s very easy to spot during a chamber check in a darkened environment. Furthermore, its specially formulated propellant reduces both recoil and muzzle flash, so you can count on firing rapid follow-up shots in the dark as well.

Competitive shooters prize Black Hills ammunition for its consistently high performance. These 5.56 NATO cartridges are perfect for precision shooting with an AR-15 or other 5.56x45mm rifles.

Each round in this box of 50 fires a 69 grain open tipped match bullet at 2,875 feet per second. The use of a relatively heavy bullet provides more stable and predictable trajectories for your shots at the cost of some muzzle velocity; since terminal ballistics is irrelevant for match use, this trade-off is a no-brainer!

Black Hills ammo is loaded in Rapid City, South Dakota using reloadable brass and non-corrosive primers.

Grab a few of these 50-round boxes of .223 Remington ammo from Black Hills for tactical training and home defense with your AR-15 or other .223/5.56 NATO chambered rifle. These cartridges fire Barnes Multi Purpose Green (MPG) frangible bullets. Unlike other frangible projectiles, Multi Purpose Green bullets have a gilding metal jacket that protects the powdered copper-tin core. This ensures reliable cycling alongside heavy fragmentation upon impact. The fragmenting effect virtually eliminates the risk of ricochets for safe training while delivering strong terminal performance for varmint hunting or self-defense emergencies.

Each cartridge in this box fires a 55-grain version of the MPG at a muzzle velocity of 3,150 feet per second. In terms of external ballistics, this ammo is roughly comparable to M193 mil-spec ball and should not require large adjustments to optics for users of either M193 or M855 ammo.

Black Hills ammunition is made in the USA using non-corrosive primers and brass cases.

When the U.S. military needs match grade 5.56x45 ammunition, it turns to Black Hills Ammunition. It’s no coincidence that the family-owned South Dakota company also produces some of the finest long-range target ammunition the civilian market has to offer. Order yourself some today and start shooting faraway targets soon!

This cartridge gives you accuracy like only a 77 grain open tip match bullet can. The huge chunk of lead and copper has a lower muzzle velocity – 2,750 fps out of Black Hills’ own 20” test barrel – but also a trajectory that’s less susceptible to wind deflection. The OTM’s form-fitted core was created by injecting the thin copper jacket with molten lead. The hollow point gave access to that lead, but it does not give the OTM the ability to deliver terminal expansion.

Black Hills loads this ammo with match primers, match brass, and standardized charges of proprietary propellant blend. Despite what the discoloration around their shoulders might suggest, this ammo’s cases aren’t previously fired. They’re a great choice for handloading – might as well stock up on component bullets while you’re at it!

You’ve got two things on your mind: precision, and your 5.56x45mm rifle. That means you only need one kind of ammunition: this 77 grain OTM ammo by Black Hills of South Dakota.

Let’s get one thing straight: the open tip match may look like it’s designed for terminal expansion, but it really isn’t. If you’re looking for hunting or home defense ammo, then your journey continues. The OTM’s open tip has already served its only purpose, which was to allow its manufacturer to inject liquid lead into its thin and concentric copper jacket. The voidless core that formed is the driving force behind the OTM’s excellent rotational stability and resultant high accuracy.

This round’s bullet is relatively heavy, which helps reduce its reaction to the cross and vertical winds awaiting at a long-distance target range. A 1:8” rate of twist barrel or faster is the ticket. Black Hills loads these fine rounds with match grade components, as well as brand new reloadable brass cases.

You’ve built yourself a beautiful 5.56x45 MSR, replete with every bell and whistle under the sun. But without beautiful 5.56x45 ammo, that MSR’s accuracy won’t amount to a hill of beans. What are you going to do about it? Give up your favorite hobby? Not bloody likely. You’re going to order yourself a whole case of 5.56 match ammo by Black Hills – the same company that delivers the good to U.S. military sniper teams!

Sierra’s MatchKing projectile features a thin and concentric jacket, a uniformly distributed solid lead core, and a sleek jacket profile. The Missouri company’s MatchKing Tipped has all of that plus a ballistically efficient acetyl resin tip, as well as an ogive that is even further optimized to curtail in-flight drag. This round’s projectile is also a heavy boy at 77 grains, which helps it conserve more of the momentum it needs in order to thumb its nose at cross and vertical winds. The TMK is solely designed for long-range accuracy; if you expect it to expand after impact, it will fail to satisfy your expectations.

Every round in this 10-box case of ammo is loaded with a reusable brass case, match Boxer primer, and propellant charge that produces a very reliable ~2,750 fps muzzle velocity in conjunction with a 20” barrel.

Competitive shooters of AR-15s and other 5.56 NATO rifles prize Black Hills match grade ammunition for its unerring precision and reliable performance.

Each round in this box of 50 fires a heavy 77 grain Sierra Tipped MatchKing bullet at a muzzle velocity of 2,750 feet per second. As with most match loads, this ammo trades a bit of muzzle velocity for enhanced stability and more predictable points of impact. Tipped MatchKings are an iteration building on the classic MatchKing bullet and feature an aerodynamic polymer tip.

Black Hills ammo is made in Rapid City, South Dakota using non-corrosive Boxer primers and reloadable brass cases.

Barnes Precision Match ammunition is here to treat you to some of the best accuracy you’ve ever witnessed! This 223 Rem cartridge features the Match Burner – a 77 grain open tip match boat tail projectile that is designed for competitive shooting events!

First things first: an OTM bullet is not intended for hunting or home defense, simply because its hollow point nose cavity isn’t engineered for terminal expansion. The OTM’s meplat has a narrow aperture because liquid lead was poured through it – hence the bullet’s voidless, balanced, and rearward-situated core. The bullet’s narrow tip, tapered tail, and sleek, thin jacket are all in the service of minimizing drag, increasing downrange momentum, and enhancing precision. Its massive 77 grain weight gives the bullet greater resistance to wind drift as well (Barnes recommends a barrel twist of 1:8” or faster for this ammo).

This round has a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.349. Many variables will determine exactly which trajectory the bullet follows, but you can realistically expect around -9.57” drop at 300 yards when you set your rifle’s 1.5” high sights on a 200-yard zero.

Barnes loads this ammo in Utah with match primers, fastidiously measured propellant charges, and new brass cases that belong at a reloading press once they have been emancipated from their bullets.

If you've set up your AR-15 for defense or varmint hunting, you can make good use of this .223 Remington ammunition from Black Hills. These cartridges fire the Barnes TSX hollow point bullet, which delivers rapid fragmentation and highly effective performance against coyotes and other pest animals.

Each round in this box of 50 fires a 62 grain version of the TSX at about 3,100 feet per second, producing similar external ballistics to M855 ball ammo. This is a valuable trait, since it means you can fire range loads and hunt without adjusting your optics before either activity.
