223 (5.56) Ammo

Black Hills produces some of the best ammunition in the world, and this .223 Remington load is no exception. Designed for varmint extermination with .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO rifles such as AR-15s, this ammo features the Hornady V-MAX bullet. V-MAX projectiles consist of a hollow point with a polymer tip that improves aerodynamics and initiates expansion for rapid fragmentation.

Each cartridge in this box of 50 fires a 50 grain version of the V-MAX at a muzzle velocity of 3,300 feet per second. The use of a relatively heavy bullet for a varmint load makes this ammo produce external ballistics somewhat similar (though not quite identical) to those of M193 ball. The heavier bullet also increases penetration for improved results against larger pest animals or predators such as coyotes.

BHA of Rapid City, South Dakota is a renowned manufacturer of ammo for both military and civilian use. Their products are constructed using non corrosive Boxer primers and reloadable brass cases.

This 223 Rem cartridge from Hornady’s Critical Defense line of ammunition features a 73 grain FTX projectile. The heavy FTX is able to penetrate deeply, and is prevented from shedding very much of its weight during penetration by its InterLock ring. The FTX’s secant ogive profile grants it the ballistic coefficient needed for accuracy at longer ranges. The FTX’s Flex Tip reliably initiates powerful expansion even at lower velocities, and additionally serves to protect the hollow point from clogging with fabric and other media.

A Critical Defense cartridge’s factory fresh brass casing is plated with nickel, which enhances its ability to cycle seamlessly through a semi-automatic weapon and safeguards it against corrosion caused by atmospheric moisture. If you ever have to engage a threat in the nighttime, you’ll appreciate how this round’s low-flash propellant emits little light when ignited, protecting your vision so you can continue firing accurately.

This 200-round case of 5.56mm NATO ammunition is a great purchase for competitive match use or for testing out a new high-class build from Desert Tech or LaRue Tactical. Each round utilizes a 75-grain hollow point boat tail (HPBT) projectile which exhibits superb accuracy due to its measured internal balance, consistent outer dimensions, and aerodynamic shape. In addition, a toothed cannelure keeps the heavyweight bullet firmly seated within its crimp so that recoil vibrations don't upset final shot placement.

The reloadable brass casing of each cartridge is filled with a potent charge with powder, like all Superformance rounds, which produces breathtaking muzzle velocity for flatter shooting out to greater distances. This propellant accepts a spark from a non-corrosive Boxer primer which is accompanied by sealant that prevents moisture from ruining its ignition quality. Hornady's projectiles and finished ammo are supported by expertise that dates back all the way to 1949.

Developed during the Vietnam War, the 223 Rem has become one of the most popular rounds in the Western World among militaries, civilians, and law enforcement.

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!

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.

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!

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.
